Egg Roll Bowls Recipe

Introduction

Egg Roll Bowls bring all the delicious flavors of a classic egg roll without the wrapping. This quick and easy skillet dish combines savory ground pork, crisp vegetables, and a spicy soy sauce for a satisfying meal perfect for any night of the week.

Ingredients

• 1 Tbsp. vegetable oil
• 1 garlic clove, finely chopped
• 1 Tbsp. finely chopped peeled ginger
• 1 lb. ground pork
• 1 Tbsp. toasted sesame oil
• 1/4 head green cabbage, thinly sliced
• 1/2 yellow onion, thinly sliced
• 1 cup shredded carrot
• 1/4 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
• 1 Tbsp. sriracha
• Kosher salt, to taste
• 1 scallion, thinly sliced
• 1 Tbsp. toasted sesame seeds

Instructions

1. Step 1: In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the vegetable oil. Add the garlic and ginger and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute.
2. Step 2: Add the ground pork, breaking it into small pieces with a wooden spoon. Cook until browned in parts and fully cooked through, about 8 to 10 minutes.
3. Step 3: Push the pork to one side of the skillet and pour in the toasted sesame oil. Add the cabbage, onion, and carrot, then stir to combine with the meat. Pour in the soy sauce and sriracha. Cook, stirring frequently, until the cabbage is tender, about 5 to 8 minutes. Season with kosher salt to taste.
4. Step 4: Divide the pork and vegetable mixture among bowls. Top each with sliced scallions and toasted sesame seeds before serving.

Tips & Variations

• For a vegetarian version, substitute ground pork with crumbled tofu or cooked lentils and use vegetable oil instead of sesame oil.
• Add chopped water chestnuts or mushrooms for extra texture.
• Adjust the amount of sriracha to control the spiciness according to your preference.
• Serve over steamed rice or cauliflower rice to make it more filling.

Storage

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave until warmed through. The vegetables may release some water when reheated, so stirring occasionally during reheating helps maintain the best texture.
