One of the first and most beloved recipes on my blog, these Egg Roll Bowl are a regular in our meal rotation.
Packed with flavor and easy to whip up, this reader favorite has won hearts with its simplicity (no chopping!).
Just like these chicken lettuce wraps, they deliver incredible flavor yet are made with just a handful of grocery store ingredients.
The Ingredients
- Ground Pork- For an alternative protein, you can make these egg roll bowls with ground chicken or turkey.
- Coleslaw- I prefer using a prechopped bag of coleslaw mix for a quick meal, but you can also chop up cabbage and carrots if you have them on hand (approximately 6-8 cups).
- Garlic Powder- You can use 2 tablespoon of freshly minced garlic instead.
- Ground Ginger- Feel free to use 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger alternatively.
- Onion Powder- You can also make it with 2 tablespoon finely chopped onion or green onion.
- Coconut Aminos- Low sodium soy sauce or tamari will also work.
- Sesame Oil
The Method
1. Cook pork. In a large skillet, brown ground pork with the garlic, ginger and onion powder over medium heat, using a wooden spoon to crumble into smaller pieces.
2. Add coleslaw. Stir in the coleslaw and cook for 5-7 additional minutes until wilted and softened.
3. Stir in sauces. Remove from heat and stir in the coconut aminos and sesame oil.
4. Serve!
Leftovers and Storage
To Store: Store leftover Egg Roll Bowls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months. It freezes very well and is great for meal prep!
To Reheat: Rewarm in the microwave until heated through.
Make It Your Own
Make it with a Different Ground Meat- You can make this easy recipe with ground chicken or ground turkey instead. Since these meats tend to be less fatty, you may want to use ½ tablespoon of avocado oil to brown the meat.
Add Extra Veggies- Stir in extra vegetables at the same time as the coleslaw. Some great additions would be bean sprouts, water chestnuts, mushrooms, bell peppers, kale, spinach or bok choy.
Use Broccoli Slaw- Instead of a packaged coleslaw mix, you can use a broccoli slaw mixture instead.

My go to heathy fix for when I am craving Chinese food! Probably one of my favourite meals that I never get sick of. Ness first showed me this recipe when I was trying to be really healthy and get my sensitive stomach sorted- I was really craving Chinese food but that would have made my stomach hurt so bad. This was the fix for that craving and I pretty much make it once every couple weeks when I need my Chinese food fix without the deep fried food
Dannii

Thank you for your kind review, Dannii!

This was so easy to make and so flavorful! Definitely one of my new go-to recipes. Plus, I love the ease of just using coleslaw mix instead of chopping.
Janessa
Right?! I like to eliminate chopping any chance I get haha. I'm glad you enjoyed this recipe, Angela.

These bowls were an instant hit at my house! Do you think I could use ground beef next time?
Janessa
I'm glad you liked them! Hmm, I haven't personally tried them with ground beef so I'm not sure how the flavour would turn out. I have tried them with ground chicken and turkey though and it worked. If you're looking for a recipe with ground beef, you might like these Beef and Broccoli Bowls instead!
