Egg Roll in a Bowl (15-Minute Shortcut Recipe!)
This flavor-packed egg roll in a bowl recipe is SO quick (almost no chopping thanks to packaged coleslaw mix!), loaded with protein and veggies, and tastes like my favorite takeout.
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 tbsp neutral oil like avocado or canola
- 1 lb ground chicken or ground turkey/pork
- ¾ tsp kosher salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 1 medium onion finely chopped
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- 1 tbsp freshly grated ginger
- 2 tbsp oyster sauce
- 2 tbsp soy sauce or tamari
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 12- oz bag coleslaw mix or 6 cups shredded cabbage + 1 shredded carrot
- 2 green onions thinly sliced
- Extra soy sauce and sesame oil to taste
Optional toppings
- ½ tsp sriracha or chili garlic sauce if you like it spicy
- Toasted sesame seeds
- More green onions
- Fried shallots or crispy onions
Instructions
- Heat both oils in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add ground chicken (or pork) and salt. Cook, breaking it up, until browned and crisp at edges—about 7–9 minutes.
- Stir in onion, garlic, and ginger. Cook until onion softens, about 2–3 minutes. Toss in cabbage mix and cook until just wilted, about 2–3 minutes. I like it with a bit of crunch left.
- Add soy sauce, vinegar, and oyster sauce. Stir to coat.
- Taste and adjust seasoning with more soy sauce or added sriracha/chili garlic sauce if desired. Stir in green onions and serve hot, topped as you like.

Notes
• You can substitute ground chicken with ground beef, pork, or turkey, or even shrimp or crumbled tofu.

• To make it spicy, stir in sriracha or chili garlic sauce with the soy sauce.
• Leftovers keep well in the fridge for up to 3 days—great for meal prep.
