Key Ingredients & Substitutions
Ground Pork or Turkey: I love using ground pork for its rich flavor, but turkey is a leaner option if you prefer. You can also use ground chicken or a plant-based substitute for a vegetarian option.
Coleslaw Mix: The pre-packaged coleslaw mix saves time, but you can easily shred your own cabbage and carrots. Try adding bell peppers for extra crunch and color!
Green Onions: These add a nice fresh bite. If you can’t find green onions, shallots or regular onions will work too. Just remember to cook them a little longer to soften the flavor.
Soy Sauce: This is essential for seasoning. Use low-sodium soy sauce if you’re watching your salt intake. Tamari is a great gluten-free alternative.
Cheese: I prefer using cheddar for its sharp flavor, but feel free to use a cheese sauce or something milder like mozzarella. A sprinkle of pepper jack can add a spicy kick!
How Do I Ensure Everything is Well-Cooked and Flavored?
Getting the mix to taste amazing relies on cooking it in the right order. Start with browning your meat to maximize flavor. Make sure to break it into small pieces for even cooking. Then, let the garlic and ginger cook just until fragrant—overcooking can make them bitter.
- Brown the ground meat first and drain any excess grease to keep it light.
- Add the garlic and ginger early, so they infuse their flavors into the meat.
- Cook the coleslaw mix until tender but still crunchy, about 5-7 minutes.
- Pour the sauce in at the end, mixing well, and let it cook a couple of minutes to develop the flavors.
Following these steps makes for a tasty, perfectly cooked Egg Roll in a Bowl! Don’t forget to taste and adjust seasoning at the end for the best results!

Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Cooking the Meat:
Start by heating a large skillet or your Blackstone griddle over medium-high heat. Add the vegetable oil and let it heat up for a minute. Then, add the ground pork or turkey to the skillet. Use a spatula to break it apart as it cooks. Keep cooking until the meat is browned and cooked through. If there’s any excess grease, drain it before moving on to the next step.
2. Adding the Flavors:
Now it’s time to add some flavor! Stir in the minced garlic and ginger into the skillet. Cook these together for about 1-2 minutes until they’re fragrant and make your kitchen smell amazing.
3. Mixing in the Vegetables:
Next, add the coleslaw mix and chopped green onions to the skillet. Give everything a good stir to combine. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is nice and tender. You want it to be soft but still crisp!
4. Preparing the Sauce:
While the veggies are cooking, grab a small bowl and whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and sriracha if you like a little kick. Once the veggies are done, pour this sauce over the mixture in the skillet and stir well. Season your dish with some salt and pepper to taste.
5. Finishing Touches:
Cook everything together for an additional 2-3 minutes. This will ensure the mixture is well-coated in the delicious sauce. Then, remove the skillet from heat and transfer the mixture to a serving bowl.
6. Topping and Garnishing:
Top your egg roll bowl with shredded cheese and let it melt slightly. For the final touch, sprinkle sesame seeds and extra chopped green onions on top before serving. And there you have it!
