On the Wednesday following a Taco Tuesday a few years ago, I stared at an open bag of coleslaw mix in my crisper drawer. I had only used a handful to put on top of our tacos the night before and was determined not to let another<\/em> nearly full bag of the cabbage and carrot mix go to waste.\n<\/p>\n

A quick internet search for \u201cusing leftover coleslaw\u201d yielded many results, but the one that stood out to me was an egg roll in a bowl. I love egg rolls\u2014their crispy veggie texture packed with umami is absolute perfection! The idea of turning classic egg roll flavors into a full meal without having to do any rolling (or picking up takeout) was something I was eager to try.\n<\/p>\n

I\u2019m a pretty seasoned cook (pun intended) and decided I didn\u2019t need to follow a recipe\u2014I\u2019d just wing it. And after a few years of perfecting this simple recipe for egg roll in a bowl, I\u2019m happy to share it with you.\n<\/p>\n

I love this recipe because it uses four easy-to-find ingredients and takes less than 30 minutes to prepare. Ground meat, a bag of coleslaw mix, soy sauce, and ginger are pretty much all you need to make this dish. It\u2019s on repeat in my house because it\u2019s a nutrient-dense meal that tastes like fried food. Win-win!\n<\/p>\n

I love eating it over white rice and topping it with sesame seeds, green onions, and a soy egg if I\u2019m feeling extra fancy, but you can serve it straight from the skillet, too.\n<\/p>\n

Ingredients for Egg Roll in a Bowl <\/span> <\/h2>\n

The ground meat you choose has a big impact on the finished dish. Ground turkey or ground chicken both have a lighter flavor profile and lower fat content, making for an overall lighter meal. The rich flavor of ground pork tastes the most like a classic egg roll. Ground beef makes a hearty, filling meal if you\u2019re not a fan of pork or if ground pork is hard to find in your area.\n<\/p>\n

If you can\u2019t find coleslaw mix, use half a head of cabbage and about one cup of matchstick-cut carrots. Use the leftover cabbage to make some copycat KFC coleslaw as a side for your next meal, or add it to your tacos like I do.\n<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re feeding more people, you can stretch this meal by adding another 16-ounce bag of coleslaw and more rice. Folks will get less meat per serving, but it will still be a filling meal.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n

Tips for Making Egg Roll in a Bowl <\/span> <\/h2>\n
    \n
  • If you use ground beef, pork, or turkey that is not low fat, draining the meat is essential because the extra grease will prevent the sauce from coming together. Be sure to pour the grease into a sealable container that can be tossed into the trash. Never pour grease down the sink!<\/li>\n
  • Don\u2019t overcook the slaw mix. All stovetops are slightly different, so yours may need more or less than the suggested cook time. The cabbage should just start to wilt but not reach a mushy stage.<\/li>\n
  • Egg roll in a bowl is a great recipe for meal prep. Follow the recipe and store individual servings in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days or in the freezer for up to two months. Reheat in the microwave. If you\u2019re serving it with rice, I recommend making fresh rice and adding the toppings just before serving.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    • Use Chinese five spice powder in place of the ground ginger for a more complex punch of flavor. Check your local Asian supermarket or order it online.\u00a0<\/li>\n
    • A drizzle of honey added on top adds a subtle sweetness, making the dish even more well-rounded.<\/li>\n
    • Add half a teaspoon of toasted sesame oil and half a teaspoon of rice wine vinegar with the soy sauce to enhance the egg roll flavors.\u00a0<\/li>\n
    • Scramble in an egg when you cook the meat to bring out an even more delicious stir-fry texture.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n
