Egg Roll in a Bowl Recipe
If you haven’t noticed by now, I am a HUGE egg roll fan! They are so fun, and I love all of the dips and flavor combinations you can create. But sometimes, I don’t have time to individually wrap each egg roll in the wrapper and cook them (although I have a few air fryer egg roll recipes that make the cooking part a breeze!). So when I am in a hurry, this egg roll in a bowl recipe is my go-to! It’s so simple and delicious, and you can change out a lot of the ingredients to customize this recipe to what flavors you are in the mood for.
So what is an egg roll in a bowl? The name really says it all! It’s all the yummy stuffings of an egg roll without the wrapper. It is similar to a stir fry, and is so simple and delicious that you’ll be hooked on this meal! My favorite part is I can make a really yummy dinner in just 10 minutes that feeds my whole family. And they absolutely love this meal. It’s a busy mom win-win!
Egg Roll in a Bowl Ingredients
Fresh ingredients always taste best, which is why this recipe is full of fresh seasonings and veggies. You can buy certain things pre-cut, which will speed up prep time! As you get familiar with this dish, start switching out ingredients to play with the flavor profile! Check out the recipe card at the bottom of the post for exact measurements.
- Sesame Oil: Sesame oil adds that traditional flavor that you love to your egg roll and is a must in this dish!
- Onion: I recommend mincing them for this recipe so that the flavor is distributed evenly throughout the meal.
- Garlic: Garlic adds so much flavor and takes this recipe to the next level!
- Fresh Ginger: Fresh garlic is always the most flavorful, but you could use powdered if you are in a pinch.
- Ground Turkey: I used 1 pound of uncooked ground turkey in this recipe. If you don’t like turkey, you can use ground beef or pork instead!
- Soy sauce: I added soy sauce at the end as a finishing sauce on this dish. It was amazing!
- Prepared coleslaw mix (cabbage and carrot mixture): I just bought a bag of pre-cut cabbage and carrot mix, which is sold as a pre-made coleslaw mix at the grocery store.
- Salt and Pepper: To taste, but because soy sauce has sodium, you could leave out the salt if you felt like it.
- Chopped green onions: I served these on top of the dish as a garnish. It adds a nice bright, fresh flavor and a beautiful pop of color!
- Sesame seeds (for garnish): Because you already added sesame oil, you could leave this out if you wanted to. I personally love adding a sprinkle of sesame seeds for garnish after I have plated this dish for additional texture and flavor.
How to Make Egg Roll in a Bowl
Get ready to have a new favorite meal! This recipe is so simple, and it comes together in just 10 minutes. It’s even full of vegetables to keep it balanced and a well-rounded dinner.
- Heat the Seasonings: In a large skillet or wok, heat the sesame oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook until translucent.
- Add and Cook: Add the garlic and ginger to the pan and then cook an additional 30 seconds.
- Cook the Meat: Cook the ground turkey in a large skillet over medium-high heat until browned. Try to keep the ground turkey in bigger pieces, don’t crumble it too small.
- Add Coleslaw: Add the coleslaw mix and stir well.
- Cook until Softened: Continue cooking the mixture over low to medium heat, stirring often, then add the soy sauce as the coleslaw mix begins to soften.
- Season: Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Add Garnish: To serve, garnish with green onions, sesame seeds, and additional soy sauce if desired. I also love a drizzle of sriracha for added heat.
