    🍲 Why this recipe works

    This is an easy-to-make deconstructed egg roll in a bowl recipe!

    All you need is a skillet, some crunchy veggies, ground beef, pork, sausage, turkey, or shrimp, and Asian-inspired sauces like soy sauce, rice vinegar, or sesame oil.

    It takes less than an hour to prepare, and it's terrific for meal preparation since the tastes improve with time, thanks to the ingredients. It's one of my all-time favorite egg roll dishes because of this.

    The dish's name, egg roll in a bowl, comes from the fact that it is a deconstructed version of egg rolls found in Asian restaurants. So if you don't like eggs, don't worry; this low-carb egg roll recipe doesn't include them!

    🍽 Ingredient Notes

    All you need is a frying pan or large skillet to mix all the components in terms of equipment. I use a bag of coleslaw mix for this dish because it contains carrots and cabbage, but if I have time, I prefer freshly shredded green or red cabbage and carrot.

    You can use ahead of cabbage or buy shredded cabbage already in a bag. Whenever possible, buy fresh red or green cabbage, it tastes better, and it's far less expensive!

    Substitutes

    Soy Sauce - With so many options available, this is largely based on preference. I often use coconut aminos, which contain significantly less salt than soy sauce. My recommendation is to use the option you're the most familiar with.

    Meat - I like my egg roll in a bowl with ground pork. However, you could easily make this with ground beef, ground turkey, and even shrimp. All of these options will produce an equally delicious Asian dish.

    🔪 How to make Egg Roll in a Bowl

    Learn how to make this delicious recipe with my easy-to-follow instructions, detailed recipe shots, and helpful cooking tips. I love making slaw recipes because I don't need to wash lots of cooking equipment afterward, and they typically take less than 30 minutes.

    Preparation

    The first step is to chop the onion and garlic. If you can't stand chopping onions, an onion chopper may be a good investment. They're pretty helpful.

    💭 Cooking Tips

    This egg roll-in-a-bowl recipe can be enjoyed as a main dish - it's loaded with veggies or as a side dish to something else.

    Give the dish a fragrant taste of Asia with a teaspoon of toasted sesame oil and rice wine vinegar at the end before serving.

    If you don't want to use pork for this recipe, you can use another form of meat such as ground beef, ground turkey, or ground chicken.

    Add some heat to the dish with half a teaspoon of red pepper flakes and fresh ginger. You can also use freshly sliced chilis if you have them.

    🙋 Frequently Asked Questions

    How to make egg roll bowl vegetarian?

    You can make this egg roll in a bowl vegetarian by omitting the meat and adding tofu or more vegetables like shitake mushrooms.

    What is the difference between Egg Roll and Spring Roll?

    The term "egg roll" refers to two different things: egg rolls, which are wrapped in a thicker, visibly crispier wrapper and drenched in an egg mixture for richness (rolls), and spring rolls, which are wrapped in thin flour wraps or rice papers.

    Does an egg roll have egg in it?

    Even though egg rolls are often called "egg rolls" because of the egg, it isn't required to make one. The conventional egg roll recipe includes an egg, but most recipes don't need it anymore; nowadays, meat and veggies are commonly wrapped in a rice paper sheath.

    📖 Deconstructed Egg Roll Variations

    If you love this egg roll in a bowl recipe, then wait till you try these fantastic variations.

    Why not try making egg roll in a bowl with an instant pot. It's easier to make this delicious dish by pressing a button.

    🧊 Storing and ♨️ Reheating

    Storing egg roll in a bowl couldn't be easier! All you need to do is let it cool completely before storing it.

    Store in the Fridge

    Transfer the leftovers to an airtight container and place it in the fridge. It will keep for up to 2 days refrigerated.

    Store in the Freezer

    I do not recommend freezing deconstructed egg roll in a bowl because the cabbage will become limp once thawed. Also, for any recipe under 30 minutes, why bother.

    How to Reheat

    When you want to eat, heat a portion in a hot skillet and serve. Alternatively, you can heat it in the microwave for 1 minute or eat it cold.

    👪 Serving Size

    This egg roll-in-a-bowl recipe will serve 6 - 8 people and is great for scaling. Plus, it tastes even better the next day as the flavors infuse, enhancing the dish.

    It has everything you need for a quick take on Asian egg rolls without the hard work or time.

    The crunch from the cabbage and carrots, combined with ground pork, tied together with Asian-inspired sauces, really hits the spot every time.
