Egg Roll in a Bowl
The Egg Roll in a Bowl recipe recreates the flavors of a traditional egg roll without the wrapper by cooking ground pork with aromatic vegetables like onion, garlic, and ginger, combined with water chestnuts and a coleslaw mix. The mixture is seasoned with soy sauce, hoisin, and sriracha for a balanced sweet-savory-spicy profile. Stir-frying the cabbage and carrots results in tender, flavorful vegetables that complement the ground meat for a satisfying and textural dish. A drizzle of sriracha mayo and garnishes like green onions and sesame seeds add finishing layers of flavor.

Instructions
Egg Roll in a Bowl
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the diced onion and cook until translucent, then add the ground meat and cook, stirring, until no longer pink. Drain any excess liquid if needed.
- Add the garlic, ginger, and water chestnuts, cooking for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Stir in the rice wine vinegar, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, and sriracha sauce, mixing well.
- Add the coleslaw mix and shredded carrots to the skillet. Season with salt and pepper, then cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is wilted.
- Remove from heat and adjust seasoning if necessary. Sprinkle with green onions and sesame seeds, drizzle with sriracha mayo, and serve warm in a bowl.
Sriracha Mayo
- Mix ingredients in a bowl until well combined.
Notes
- Adjust the spice level by varying the amount of sriracha in the sauce and on top.
- For milder versions, omit sriracha in the cooking step and drizzle it on the finished bowl optionally.
- Bagged coleslaw mix and matchstick carrots save prep time and blend well.
- Chopping vegetables finely ensures even cooking and flavor distribution.
- For keto-friendly versions, omit hoisin sauce and replace soy sauce with coconut aminos.
