  • Change the Meat – Try ground turkey or shrimp instead of ground pork. Ground beef or shredded chicken is also a good substitute. I like using what meat I have leftover.
  • Crock option – Crockpot Southwest Egg Roll in a Bowl is great too. The flavor is amazing and the slow cooker makes it so easy. This is a great way to jazz up your traditional egg roll in a bowl recipe.
  • Change the Slaw Mix – Broccoli slaw is also a tasty substitute for the coleslaw mix.
  • Water Chestnuts – Add water chestnuts for extra crunch.
  • Vegetarian Option – If you prefer to make this vegetarian, omit the protein and substitute with tofu. Instead of using chicken broth use vegetable broth.
  • Soy Free – If you prefer the dish to be soy free, use coconut aminos instead. It is a good substitute for soy sauce.
  • Add More Vegetables – For a veggie packed dish, you can easily add in broccoli, zucchini, and squash. Peas, edamame, or bean sprouts are other vegetables that I would recommend adding.
  • Ground Ginger – If you don’t have any ground ginger you can substitute with ground all spice.

    My sister would like to serve eggrolls on our late lunch this coming Sunday, which is why she’s currently looking for some recipes that she may use. Thank you for sharing here that we must prepare ground pork, small onion, minced garlic, and rice vinegar. Anyhow, I’m hoping that we’ll be able to pull this off because if not then maybe the best option is to order from Chinese food online restaurant.
