15-Minute Egg Roll In A Bowl
Are you a fan of Chinese food? Me too! I love me some shrimp fried rice. Sweet and sour chicken is also my jam.
But if I was told that I could only order one thing from the menu, it would be an egg roll. Or 3 Ha! Hands down, eggs rolls are THE BEST.
Filled with ground pork and veggies, in a wrapper, and fried to perfection. YUM!
That’s when I decided to put it to good use and make these easy to make and packed with umami flavor egg rolls in a bowl!
Ingredients You’ll Need
- Toasted sesame oil. Because YUM! You can sub for olive oil, of course, but sesame oil just tastes so nutty and toasty. *heart eyes*
- Garlic + onion. Aromatics!
- Ground pork. You can use ground turkey or ground chicken, if you prefer.
- Ground ginger.
- Low sodium soy sauce. You can also use coconut aminos or tamari.
- Rice wine vinegar.
- Red pepper flakes.
- Vegetables. I used a bag of storebought coleslaw for this dish but you can use shredded green cabbage with matchstick carrots, if you prefer, or whatever you have on hand.
- Sliced green onions, sesame seeds, and/or Sriracha. Totally optional but encouraged!

How To Make Egg Roll In A Bowl Recipe
This dish is honestly sooo easy to make!
- Cook your aromatics. In a large skillet, heat up sesame oil over medium-high heat. Add and cook onions until translucent, about 1 minute or so, then add garlic.
- Add the ground meat. Cook the ground meat for about 5 minutes then add ginger, coconut aminos or soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, and spices.
- Finish it off with the cabbage. Stir until combined then add the coleslaw mix. Cook for another 5 minutes or until desired tenderness.
- Serve and garnish! Top with sesame seeds, sliced green onions, or Sriracha.
Of course, no one is claiming that this recipe should ever replace actual egg rolls.
The next time, however, that you’re craving Chinese food, make this instead! It’s a healthy, whole30, keto, low carb and, not to mention, a super easy meal for the dinner or meal prep.
What do I do with the leftovers?
These are best served immediately after cooking. You can store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. Reheat on a skillet before serving. I do not recommend freezing.
What to serve egg rolls in a bowl?
I personally would enjoy a bowl of this dish by itself but you may also serve it with rice noodles, broccoli slaw, cauliflower rice, white rice, or quinoa.
Can’t wait for you guys to make it!

This recipe was great and exactly what I was looking for. We used ground pork and it came out awesome. I toasted the sesame seeds and we also used some fried wonton strips for garnish. Very tasty and healthy recipe. Definitely one we will be making over and over again.
This recipe is just what we (I) are looking for. Because we are trying hard to eliminate breading and heavy fried foods, this recipe sounds great.
We both love egg rolls and have not had for years, this will be something I can prepare in the next couple of days. Already printed the recipe and will let you know how we enjoyed it.
May serve on Riced Cauliflower.
This is my favorite Eggroll in a Bowl recipe. We make it with ground pork. It’s even better leftover!
Finally, a “15 minute” recipe that REALLY only takes 15 minutes!! I’m such a slow chef, I normally have to triple the projected cooking time.. but not with this recipe! My family didn’t believe me when I said dinner was ready lol. Also, most importantly, it’s delicious!! We enjoyed it over rice with a little sweet chili sauce drizzled over the top.
That makes me so happy, Ali! So glad you loved it!
I just made this recipe and the family loved it. I served it on top of Asian noodles. So delicious!! Will definitely make it again and again!!
So happy you loved it, Fiona!
