What is Egg Roll in a Bowl?

Egg Roll in a Bowl is a deconstructed version of an egg roll, served as a bowl instead of wrapped in a wrapper and fried. It typically includes similar ingredients to an egg roll filling, such as ground pork or chicken, cabbage or coleslaw mix, soy sauce, sesame oil, and other seasonings. It’s a popular dish in low-carb or keto diets, as it’s often served without the wrapper, making it a healthier alternative to traditional egg rolls.

Ingredients for Egg Roll in a Bowl

Bowl

• 1 lb tri-color coleslaw in a bag
• 1.25 lb lean ground turkey
• 1-2 tsp olive oil
• ¼ tsp salt
• ¼ tsp pepper
• ½ tsp garlic powder
• ½ tsp onion powder
• White rice, if desired

Sauce

• ¼ cup reduced-sodium soy sauce or coconut aminos
• 1 TBSP avocado oil
• 1 TBSP sesame oil
• 1 TBSP hot honey
• 1 tsp minced garlic
• 1 tsp ginger paste

Toppings

• Sriracha

Instructions

1. Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, avocado oil, sesame oil, hot honey, ginger, and garlic. Set aside.
2. Cook the Meat: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the meat and cook until browned and cooked through, breaking it up into crumbles as it cooks.
3. Add the Cabbage: Add the bag of coleslaw mix (or chopped cabbage) to the skillet with the meat. Stir to combine.
4. Add the Sauce: Pour the sauce over the meat and cabbage mixture. Stir well to coat everything in the sauce.
5. Cook: Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cabbage is tender-crisp, stirring occasionally.

Extra Tips & Suggestions

• For a low-carb option, serve the egg roll in a bowl without rice.
• Customize the heat level by adjusting the amount of hot honey and sriracha.
• Make a quick sriracha mayo by mixing sriracha, mayo, and a small amount of water. Drizzle over the dish for added flavor.
• Measure the oil before the honey.  The remaining oil in the measuring spoon will prevent the honey from sticking to the spoon.
• Make it gluten-free – swap out the soy sauce with coconut aminios for a gluten-free meal.
