Egg Roll in a Bowl
Egg Roll in a Bowl is a stovetop dish delivering the flavors of classic egg rolls without the wrapper. Ground pork, garlic, and ginger are cooked until browned, then combined with shredded cabbage and carrots for a tender yet slightly crisp texture. The mixture is seasoned with soy sauce and rice vinegar, and served with a tangy, sweet fish sauce-based drizzle and optional garnishes like green onion and wonton chips for added crunch.

Ingredients
Sauce
- 1½ cups water
- ¼ cup rice vinegar
- 1½ tablespoon fish sauce
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 large garlic minced, clove
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt Morton brand
- 1 pinch crushed red pepper (Use more if you like heat!)
Egg Roll Mixture
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil toasted
- 1 pound ground pork bulk
- 3 large garlic minced, cloves
- ¼ cup fresh ginger peeled and minced
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 5 cups green cabbage Or use a 14-ounce bag of pre-shredded coleslaw mix instead, shredded
- 1 cup carrot Pre-shredded carrots works great!, shredded
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 3 green onion chopped
- cilantro optional garnish, chopped fresh cilantro leaves
- wonton chips optional garnish, chopped fresh cilantro leaves
Instructions
- Sauce: In a small saucepan over medium to medium-high heat, stir together all sauce ingredients. Once sugar and salt have dissolved, remove from heat and let cool to room temperature.
- Egg Roll Mixture: Heat a large skillet with tall sides over medium heat. Once hot, add sesame oil and let it warm for about 1 minute. Add pork, breaking it up with a wooden spoon or spatula. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring and breaking up occasionally, until pork is about half-way browned.
- Add garlic, ginger, soy sauce, black pepper, and sugar to the pork, and stir to combine. After pork is thoroughly browned, fold in cabbage and carrots. Cook, stirring occasionally, until cabbage and carrots are softened but still a bit crunchy, about 2 to 3 minutes. Sprinkle rice vinegar over the top of the egg roll mixture and fold one last time.
- Serve: Spoon the hot mixture over white rice. Top with green onion, cilantro, and wonton chips. Offer prepared sauce on the side, for individuals to drizzle over the top.
