Egg roll in a bowl is one of my favorite family dinners to make. It comes together so quickly and easily and the flavors are wonderfully bold.
Made with a lot of fresh veggies and ground pork, this is a super tasty and healthier alternative to your usual takeout. With flavors of ginger, garlic, and soy sauce with a touch of spice, this is one addictive recipe you won’t be able to get enough of!

Why you will love this Egg Roll In a Bowl Recipe!
- One skillet: One of the main reasons I love this recipe is because it’s all cooked in a skillet on the stovetop, so even the clean up is a breeze!
- Healthy: High in protein and with only around 20g of carbs per serving, this dish contains lots of veggies so it’s great to include in a balanced lifestyle.
- Make ahead: This is a great option if you are into weekly meal prep. Make it up once and enjoy the leftovers later in the week. It’s freezer friendly too.
Ingredients
- Sesame oil: I like to use sesame oil to cook this dish as it has a nice nutty flavor. You can use vegetable or canola, but it won’t have the same taste.
- Vegetables: Onion, coleslaw mix and carrots. You could also use broccoli slaw as an alternative to coleslaw.
- Ground pork: I like to use lean ground pork for this recipe. the mild flavor of the pork works great with the aromatics.
- Garlic and ginger: Use fresh cloves garlic and a teaspoon of ginger for the best flavor.
- Water chestnuts: I love the crunchy texture of the water chestnuts in his recipe, and the have a mild nutty flavor.
- Rice wine vinegar: This mild rice vinegar helps to balance out the salty flavors. White wine vinegar can be used in a pinch.
- Low sodium soy sauce: This gives the dish a lovely umami salty flavor. You can use tamari if you have a gluten intolerance or coconut aminos for paleo, gluten-free, whole30, and keto versions.
- Hoisin sauce: A rich and sweet sauce that adds a depth of flavor.
- Sriracha: For a touch of spice.
- Salt and Pepper
- Garnish: Black sesame seeds and green onions
- Sriracha mayo: Mayonnaise and sriracha
How to make egg roll in a bowl – Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the diced onion and cook until translucent. Add ground meat and cook, stirring, until no longer pink. Drain if it’s too liquid.
- Add garlic, ginger, chestnuts, and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add rice wine vinegar, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, sriracha sauce, coleslaw mix, and carrots to the skillet. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, for about 5-7 more minutes, or until cabbage is wilted.
- Remove the skillet from the heat. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
- Sprinkle green onions and sesame seeds. Drizzle sriracha mayo on top and serve warm in a bowl.
SRIRACHA MAYO
- Mix ingredients in a bowl until well combined.
How long does it keep?
This recipe is great to enjoy straight away for a quick and easy weeknight dinner, but it’s also great for weekly meal prep. Once made, let the dish cool completely before transferring to an airtight container and store it in the fridge. It will keep well for up to 4 days and can be reheated in a skillet to serve.
Can you freeze it?
This is a great freezer meal! Cook up the whole recipe, but leave out the coleslaw mix as this can become soggy, then let it cool fully. Mix in the raw coleslaw mix and then freeze in freezer bags or containers. It will keep well for up to 3 months. Thaw it in the fridge overnight before reheating.
Can you make it with other ground meats?
Yes! I love to make this with pork, but other variations with ground meats like ground chicken, ground turkey, ground beef, or ground bison will work great too. It’s best to use lean or extra lean meats so that the final dish isn’t too greasy.
What do you serve it with?
I love to serve this low-carb egg roll in a bowl just by itself, it’s so hearty and filling. If you like, you could serve smaller portions over rice, cauliflower rice, or quinoa.
TIPS FROM NELI’S KITCHEN
Recipe Notes and Tips
- Make it spicier by adding in more sriracha, or leave it out if you prefer things milder.
- I love the convenience of using a bagged slaw mix, but you could also shred a cabbage.
- Chop the veggies small so that everything combines evenly.
- For a more keto-friendly egg roll in a bowl, you can substitute soy sauce for coconut aminos.

This was so darn good! Made last week and making again tonight. Whole family loved it. Great for leftovers for work lunches. Do not skip the siracha mayo. Perfect topper!
Hi! Could I switch out pork for ground turkey?
Yes, absolutely!
This recipe was really good. My family does not like pork, but they did like this. I used the ground pork for it. The teddy bear siriacha mayo was amazing and I will be definitely keeping this in my rotation going forward. Did not find the sesame seeds for this, but I did add wonton strips.
I am so glad to hear that you and your family liked it!!
This is good! The recipe unfortunately forgets to tell you where and when the sesame oil is added. I noticed this and was able to add it late to the meat and onions.
Thanks for letting me know! You add it at the beginning when you heat the pan. I updated the recipe.
Made this for family dinner night so doubled/tripled the recipe. Was a big hit. Used ground pork, bagged Asian slaw, & pretty much followed the recipe. Cooked up some brown rice and fried up some wonton wrappers (cut into wide strips) to appease the carbaholics so I can’t speak to the accuracy of the time but I’m thinking it would have taken up a little more by the time I chopped the onions, garlic, ginger & scallions, but still, a very simple, nutritious, easy dinner. Family couldn’t stop praising throughout the meal! Thanks for your recipe!
This is So. #$@%. Good! I made it w ground beef/ground pork combination and I think I could’ve eaten the whole thing myself in one sitting. I added won ton strips for a little more crunch. Perfect in every way!
I made this today and it is soo so good! The sriracha Mayo definitely makes the dish, I’ll definitely be adding this to my rotation👌🏼❤️
Thanks!
Really good! My entire family loved this recipe!!
So glad to hear that your family loved the recipe, Maggie!
