How do you Make Egg Roll in Bowl?
Follow along with my simple instructions to learn how you can make your own egg roll in a bowl in your own kitchen.
Step 1 – In a large skillet or pot, brown the 1 lb ground pork with the onion and add the garlic with a wooden spoon over medium-high heat.
Step 2 – Once the pork is browned stir in the broth, 1 tbsp sesame oil, rice vinegar, ginger, soy sauce, and broth. Stir to combine. This will smell amazing.
Step 3 – Stir in the bag of cole slaw mix and shredded carrots. Cook and stirring occasionally.
Step 4 – Cook over medium heat for just a few minutes or until the slaw and carrots are soft.

Recipe Notes
Recipe Variations and Additions
- Change the Ground 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 and gluten-free, use coconut aminos or tamari instead. It is a good substitute for low-sodium 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.
- Oil – If you don’t have any sesame oil, you can use vegetable oil or any regular that you have.
- Spicy – For a hint of spice add in ½ teaspoon of red pepper flakes.

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.
