Ingredients

Scale

Protein and Oil

  • 1 pound ground pork (or ground turkey or chicken)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil

Vegetables and Aromatics

  • 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 inch ginger, grated
  • 1/2 cup shredded carrots
  • 1 (14 ounce) bag coleslaw mix (shredded cabbage and carrots)

Sauce

  • 1/4 cup soy sauce (low sodium preferred)
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon sriracha (or more, to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Thickener

  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons water

Optional Toppings

  • Sesame seeds
  • Chopped green onions
  • Crispy wonton strips

Instructions

  1. Brown the Pork: In a large skillet or wok, heat the sesame oil over medium-high heat. Add the ground pork and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until it’s browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Drain Excess Grease: Carefully drain off any excess grease from the skillet to avoid a greasy final dish.
  3. Add Aromatics: Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger to the skillet with the cooked pork. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion softens and becomes fragrant.
  4. Incorporate the Vegetables: Stir in the shredded carrots and coleslaw mix. Cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is slightly softened but retains some crunch.
  5. Whisk the Sauce Ingredients: In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, sriracha, ground ginger, and black pepper. Whisk until smooth.
  6. Pour the Sauce Over the Vegetables: Pour this sauce mixture over the pork and vegetables in the skillet. Stir thoroughly to coat all the ingredients well.
  7. Simmer: Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes to let the flavors meld and the sauce to start thickening.
  8. Prepare the Cornstarch Slurry: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water until smooth and lump-free.
  9. Add the Slurry to the Skillet: Slowly pour the cornstarch slurry into the skillet while stirring constantly. Continue to cook for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens to your preferred consistency.
  10. Remove from Heat: Once thickened, remove the skillet from the heat to prevent overcooking.
  11. Serve: Spoon the egg roll bowl mixture into individual bowls. You may choose to serve it over cauliflower rice or regular rice for a more filling meal.
  12. Add Toppings: Sprinkle with optional sesame seeds, chopped green onions, and crispy wonton strips to add crunch and extra flavor.
  13. Enjoy: Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful, easy egg roll bowl dinner.

Notes

  • You can substitute ground pork with ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option.
  • Use low sodium soy sauce to keep the sodium content moderate.
  • Adjust the amount of sriracha according to your preferred spice level.
  • Serve over cauliflower rice for a low-carb meal or over steamed rice for traditional comfort.
  • Keep the vegetables slightly crunchy for the best texture contrast.
  • If you want to make it vegetarian, omit the meat and consider adding tofu or extra vegetables.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
