Egg Roll in a Bowl
Description
Egg Roll in a Bowl combines ground meat with aromatic ingredients like grated ginger and minced garlic, quickly cooked with a crisp coleslaw mix. The process involves browning the meat, then adding the vegetables and seasoning them with soy sauce and sesame oil, which provide a deep, savory umami profile. The result is a warm, slightly saucy skillet dish featuring tender meat and softened cabbage.
The garnish of fresh cilantro, scallion greens, and sesame seeds adds fresh herbal notes and a subtle crunch. This deconstructed approach removes the need for wrappers, making the meal lighter and faster to prepare while maintaining the familiar flavors of an egg roll filling.
This dish works well as a standalone meal served in bowls and pairs nicely with steamed rice or could be enhanced by adding optional crunchy or spicy elements like water chestnuts, bean sprouts, or chili flakes.
Leftover portions refrigerate well for up to four days and can be reheated gently to maintain the texture of the meat and vegetables. Variations include swapping ground chicken with pork or adding nuts for extra texture, allowing easy customization depending on preference and pantry ingredients.
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground chicken or ground pork
- 4 green onions thinly sliced, whites and greens separated
- 2 teaspoons ginger grated fresh
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 16 ounces coleslaw mix or shredded cabbage
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil or to taste

Instructions
- In a 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground chicken or pork, breaking it up with a wooden spoon. Drain any fat.

Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days.
