Egg Roll in a Bowl
Egg Roll in a Bowl transforms the classic egg roll fillings into a skillet dish featuring ground pork, coleslaw mix, and fresh aromatics tossed in a savory sauce with soy, sriracha, and sesame oil. The result is a quick-cooking, tender, and flavorful stir-fry that captures the essence of egg roll flavors without the wrapper, ideal for serving on its own or over rice.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound ground pork
- 14 ounces coleslaw mix
- 1/3 cup scallions chopped, fresh
- hoisin sauce optional, to taste, for serving
Sauce:
- 1/3 cup soy sauce low-sodium
- 1/2 tablespoon Sriracha sauce
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar or rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil see note, toasted
- 1 teaspoon ginger grated fresh
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar
- 2 cloves garlic minced
Instructions
- Add the sauce ingredients to a bowl and whisk together.
- Add the oil and pork to a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the pork, breaking it up with your spoon as you go along, until it's no longer pink (about 6 minutes).
- Pour the sauce into the skillet and stir to coat the pork.
- Add the coleslaw mix to the skillet and cook, tossing often (it's easiest to do this with tongs) until the cabbage is tender-crisp and the pork is cooked through (about 4-5 minutes).
- Stir in the scallions.
- Serve immediately with a drizzle of hoisin sauce (highly recommend!) and/or extra sriracha sauce.
Notes
- This recipe serves 2-3 without rice, or 4 with rice or noodles added.
- Use toasted sesame oil for its richer flavor, commonly found in the Asian section of grocery stores.
- Ginger is easier to grate if kept frozen and grated while still cold.
- Hoisin sauce is optional but recommended for serving to enhance the dish’s flavor.
- The recipe is also featured in the Salt & Lavender cookbook for everyday essentials.
