Egg Roll Bowl Recipe Ingredients
For the Egg Roll Bowls
- Sesame oil - This sautés the aromatics, adding a subtle nutty taste.
- Aromatics - Onion, garlic, and ginger create a pungent, savory, slightly sweet flavor base.
- Pork - I use ground pork to emulate traditional egg rolls, but you can use lean ground beef or ground chicken instead.
- Veggies - Bagged coleslaw mix, edamame, and shredded carrots add lots of bulk, nutrients, and fiber.
- Coconut aminos - This adds salty, umami flavor without the need for soy sauce. Soy sauce will also work.
- Rice vinegar - Adds a sweet, slightly tangy taste.
- Sriracha - Used to add extra depth and a kick of heat. Hot sauce will also work.
For the Sauce
- Avocado mayo - Forms the base of the sauce. Feel free to use regular or light mayo if preferred.
- Sriracha - Adds the perfect touch of heat.
- Coconut aminos - Adds an umami taste that ties the flavor of the sauce in with the egg roll mixture.
- Hot sauce - Add as much or as little as you like.
How to make Egg Roll in a Bowl with Coleslaw Mix
This is an overview with step-by-step photos. Full ingredients & instructions are in the recipe card below.
Step One: Sauté the aromatics. Heat the sesame oil in a skillet over medium heat, and sauté the onions until soft. Then, add the garlic and ginger to the skillet, and continue to cook until fragrant.
Step Two: Brown the pork. Add the pork to the skillet, and brown the meat, breaking it into pieces as it cooks.
Step Three: Add the veggies. Stir the coleslaw, edamame, and carrots in with the pork, and allow the ingredients to cook and soften.
Step Four: Flavor. In the meantime, whisk the coconut aminos, rice vinegar, Sriracha, sea salt, and black pepper in a separate bowl. Then, pour the mixture over the coleslaw mix, and gently toss to combine and coat. Continue to cook until the cabbage reduces by half and achieves your desired tenderness.
Step Five: Prepare the sauce. While the mixture cooks, whisk the sauce ingredients in the same bowl used to whisk the coconut aminos mixture.
Step Six: Assemble. Divide the pork and cabbage mixture between bowls, and drizzle the Sriracha sauce on top. Enjoy warm!
Optional Add-Ins
Feel free to mix and match any ingredients you have on hand. Some of my favorite additions include:
- Eggs - Once the ingredients combine, create a well in the center of the pan, and add scrambled eggs similar to fried rice.
- Veggies - Use any additional vegetables you like best such as mushrooms, bell peppers, or bok choy.
- Peanuts - Sprinkle peanuts on top of the finished dish for extra nuttiness and a satisfying crunch.
How to serve an Egg Roll Bowl
You can easily serve this dish on its own as a complete meal, but I love to serve it over rice or cauliflower rice to keep it low-carb.
How to store this Egg Roll Bowl Recipe
Stored in an airtight container, leftovers will stay fresh in the fridge for 4-5 days. Reheat them in the microwave or a skillet over medium heat when you’re ready to eat.
