Instructions
Egg Roll in a Bowl
- Cook the pork. Heat the sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook for 2–3 minutes, until softened. Add the ground pork and cook for 5–7 minutes, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, until browned and no longer pink. Drain any excess grease if necessary.
- Add the sauce. Add the garlic and ginger and cook for about 30 seconds, stirring constantly, until fragrant. Stir in the water chestnuts, rice vinegar, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, and sriracha until the pork is evenly coated.
- Add the veggies. Add the coleslaw mix and shredded carrots. Cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender but still has a slight crunch. Taste and season with pepper and salt, if needed.
- Garnish and serve. Remove from the heat and divide among bowls. Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds, drizzle with sriracha mayo, and serve warm.
Sriracha Mayo
- Mix ingredients in a bowl until well combined.

Notes
- Use a large skillet so the ingredients have enough room to cook without becoming watery.
- Drain excess grease from the ground pork before adding the sauces and vegetables, if needed.
- Don’t overcook the cabbage. Cook it until tender but still slightly crisp for the best texture.
- Taste before adding salt. The soy sauce and hoisin sauce already provide plenty of saltiness.
- Adjust the heat to taste. Reduce or omit the sriracha for a milder dish, or serve the sriracha mayo on the side.
- For a more keto-friendly egg roll in a bowl, you can omit hoisin sauce and substitute soy sauce for coconut aminos.
