Egg roll in a bowl is one of the easiest ways to skip the drive thru and make a simple meal right at home. If egg rolls are your thing, then you’ll love this tasty dish. Plus, it’s loaded with veggies and protein making it a really healthy option to make for dinner. In fact, if you’re on a keto diet this recipe is keto friendly!

I like to make a double batch and eat leftovers for lunch. Stir fry meals like this only need one skillet and simple ingredients. Fried rice is another easy and delicious one pot dish too!

This recipe is essentially a deconstructed egg roll in a bowl, without the unhealthy deep fried shell. All the taste with way less calories and fat.

Why You’ll Love this Egg Roll in a Bowl Recipe

• This is a great easy dinner to throw together on a busy weeknight. Get dinner out of the way quickly to leave more time for all of your fun activities!
• Looking for a way to get veggies into your dinner? This all-in-one meal has plenty of protein, veggies, and packed with flavor.
• Egg roll bowl is a one-pot meal, so clean up time is minimal and will go quite quickly!

Ingredients for Egg Roll in a Bowl

• Ground pork or beef – You can use either pork or beef in this deconstructed egg roll bowl!
• Coleslaw – Make sure you clean and dry the coleslaw lettuce mixture before using it in this dish.
• Egg – Allow an egg to come to room temperature before whisking it so that it is easier to mix up.
• Minced garlic cloves – Freshly minced garlic will produce the best flavor, but you can also buy a jar of minced garlic and use that!
• Green onions – Diced green onions are the perfect touch for this egg roll in a bowl. Dice them small enough so that each bite gets a bit of green onion in it.
• Soy sauce – Looking to keep things low in sodium? Use low sodium soy sauce or coconut aminos in place of regular soy sauce.
• Ginger powder – It may sound a little weird to include ginger in a recipe like this, but it is a very common seasoning in many Asian food dishes. It blends beautifully with all of the other flavors here!
• Sriracha – Use whatever your favorite sriracha sauce is.
• Sesame oil – I do not recommend substituting this ingredient for something else. Sesame oil has a very specific type of flavor that this dish will need.

How to Make Egg Roll in a Bowl

1. Place a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook ground pork and beef until fully browned. It will take about 6-8 minutes to full cook all pink out of the meat.
2. Once cooked, drain off the grease. Then, add minced garlic to the pan and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
3. Add the coleslaw mix to the pan, then pour the soy sauce over the top and add ground ginger. Sauté the mixture until the coleslaw has wilted.
4. Then, make a well in the center of the meat mixture and add the whisked egg. Scramble the egg in the hole over a low heat. Then, mix the scrambled egg throughout the whole dish.
5. Drizzle sesame oil over the top and sprinkle with green onions. Add a finishing touch of sriracha if desired.
6. Serve immediately with rice or cauliflower rice.

What to Serve with Egg Roll in a Bowl

Though this easy dinner can be served on its own, here’s a few great things to pair it with! Serve this yummy dish over rice, chow mein noodles, or cauliflower rice.

Or, make a side dish of roasted cauliflower or air fryer broccoli to keep things light and healthy. Make a bread type side dish like homemade crescent rolls or Texas roadhouse rolls.

Even though there’s protein in egg roll bowls, it can still be used as a side dish alongside things like air fryer chicken breast. Air fryer Hawaiian shrimp and orange chicken would also go great with egg roll in a bowl!

What can I add into egg roll in a bowl?

You can make so many different variations of this dish! Dice up some mushrooms and cook them when you add the coleslaw mixture. Add a little crunch with some cashews or peanuts, or even sliced almonds.

This dish would be delicious with lots of extra veggies. Broccoli, cauliflower, diced bell peppers, and even some bean sprouts would pair beautifully with all of the other flavors and ingredients in this dish.
