There a several egg roll in a bowl recipes on the internet but I’m telling you THIS ONE IS THE BEST. Here’s why:
- My version of egg roll in a bowl is PACKED with so much flavor. What sets this recipe apart is the amount of flavor that is layered at every single step, all the way down to the sauce. The end result is an incredibly flavorful dish that really stands out.
- It comes together in just 5 quick, easy, and simple steps. Fifteen minutes is really all you need to make this recipe.

Healthy Egg Roll in a Bowl Ingredients
- Ground Pork: Most egg rolls are made with ground pork and it is my protein of choice in this recipe. I find that most people don’t cook with ground pork frequently so this is a great recipe to make that uses ground pork.
- Shredded Coleslaw Mix: This recipe really could not be any easier, you don’t even have to chop the veggies!
- Garlic & Ginger: The real key to this recipe is to use enough fresh garlic and ginger for maximum flavor. Fresh ginger and garlic always tastes the best but if you need to use pre-minced go ahead and do it!
- Coconut Aminos: Coconut aminos are a common soy-free substitute for soy sauce in many recipes. They taste very similar to soy sauce but taste just slightly sweeter. You can find this on the Asian aisle of your local grocery, usually near the soy sauce.
- Sesame Oil: Sesame oil is what gives this recipe that classic egg roll flavor. You should be able to find this ingredient in the Asian aisle of your grocery store.
- Rice Vinegar: Rice vinegar is completely gluten free, Whole30 compatible, and gives this dish just the right amount of brightness.
- Red Pepper Flakes: This is a totally optional ingredient, but if you don’t mind just a little heat, add some red pepper flakes. If you like a lot of heat, feel free to add even more.
Helpful Kitchen Tools
You don’t need a ton of tools to make this healthy egg roll bowl but here are a few of my favorite products to help you make this recipe without a hitch:
Spicy Mayo Sauce You’ll Want to Put on EVERYTHING
This recipe is absolutely delicious all on its own but the spicy mayo drizzle seriously takes things to the next level. Making the spicy mayo sauce is so easy and I like to make a double batch to keep in the fridge and use it as a way to add even more flavor to your favorite stir fry!
Here’s what you need to make it:
- Mayo – go with a high quality mayo you love!
- Rice Vinegar – adds a mellow, sweet flavor to the sauce without being as acidic as other vinegars.
- Sriracha – I really LOVE to use this sriracha.
- Lime Juice – adds a little tang to help balance all of the flavors in the sauce.
- Coconut Aminos – this adds a bit of umami flavor and a touch of sweetness.
- Sesame Oil – so flavorful and delicious.
Once you have all of the ingredients, add them all to a small bowl and whisk together until well combined. Store the sauce in the fridge to keep it fresh.
How to Make Egg Roll in a Bowl with Coleslaw Mix
Step One: Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Once the skillet is hot, add in a little oil to the skillet and then add the minced ginger and garlic. Sauté for a minute until everything is fragrant.
Step Two: Next, add the ground pork to the skillet and use your wooden spoon to break it up as it cooks. Cook the ground pork until it is brown, a little crispy, and most of the fat and liquid has evaporated from the skillet. There should not be a lot of extra liquid in the pan.
Step Three: While the pork is cooking whisk together the coconut aminos, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and red pepper flakes.
Step Four: Once the pork is thoroughly cooked, add in the coleslaw mix and green onion and then add the coconut amino mixture. Sauté everything until the veggies just begin to wilt and become tender. Then, remove the skillet from the heat.
Step Five: Make the spicy mayo sauce and then transfer the egg roll in a bowl mixture to a bowl for serving. Drizzle the spicy mayo over top before eating. Enjoy!
My Favorite Tips and Tricks for this Egg Roll in a Bowl Recipe
This may already be quick 20 minute recipe but with just a little bit of prep it can come together even faster! If you have a little time to do some prep in advance you can saver yourself even more time in the kitchen.
Here are a few of my favorite meal prep tips and tricks:
- Make the stir fry sauce in advance – go ahead and whisk together the coconut aminos, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and red pepper flakes and then store in an air tight container in the fridge until you are ready to use.
- Prep the spicy mayo – you can make the spicy mayo sauce three to four days in advance. Just be sure to store it in an air-tight container in the fridge.
- Use cubed frozen garlic and ginger – you can usually find these in the freezer section of your grocery store and they save so much time. The garlic and ginger are frozen from fresh which mean they have a ton of flavor.
- Prep your sides – if you’re serving this recipe over rice then you can make a batch of my cilantro lime coconut rice in advance and then store it in the fridge or freezer. If you’re adding extra vegetables as a side, you can chop them ahead of time as well!
Helpful Recipe Variations and Substitutions
- Switch up the protein – you can easily swap the ground pork in this recipe for ground turkey, ground chicken, or even ground beef if you prefer. I’ve made this recipe with all three and each version tastes great!
- Make it vegetarian – do you need to make a vegetarian version of this recipe? go for it! you can easily use your favorite vegetarian or vegan meat crumble substitute instead of ground pork.
- Use different veggies – you can swap the traditional coleslaw mix for kale slaw or broccoli slaw!
- Add more heat – want a little more kick? add in more red pepper flakes to the dish or more sriracha to the spicy mayo sauce.
- Make a double batch – need an easy meal prep option? make a double batch of this recipe and reheat it for a quick lunch or dinner.
What to Serve with Egg Roll in a Bowl
One of the things I personally love about this recipe is how easy it is to customize and serve. Here are a few of my favorite ways to serve this recipe!
- Spoon the egg roll in a bowl over cooked cauliflower rice with a generous drizzle of the spicy mayo for a veggie-forward meal.
- Pair it with a side of white or brown jasmine rice and a few extra veggies like sautéed zucchini, roasted broccoli or roasted green beans.
- Add a side of gluten free rice noodles to switch things up a bit. It’s a delicious combo!

I pinned this several months ago but just got around to making it. Wish I would’ve made it sooner! SO good! I love that it’s veggie packed but also super flavorful. Thanks for sharing this delicious recipe!

I love this recipe! It is very easy to put together and no crazy ingredients that are hard to find! It was delicious, easy, and whole30! This recipe helped mix up my usual whole 30 line up and I will definitely make it again!!!!
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Candace! Thanks for taking the time to leave a review!
This recipe is amazing! My hubby told me I need to make it once a week because he loved it so much. Sometimes to make it healthier we just do Sri racha over the top of the bowl instead of the Mayo – still so good! Best way to eat lots of cabbage!
Thanks for sharing, Lisa! I’m so glad you loved it!
I made this for dinner and it’s delicious! I was very skeptical cause I’m not big on cabbage but this is absolutely delicious!! I made it with ground turkey because I don’t eat pork but I didn’t change anything else and it turned out great 🙂
I’m so glad you enjoyed it, Nadia!
This recipe is outstanding! It was a huge hit with our entire family. I have tried a few of Ashlea’s recipes now and she does not disappoint, every single one has been a winner!
Thanks, Annette! I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe!
Man, oh, man! This is the first recipe that I have made from your site, and well, can I just say I.was.blown.AWAY! My husband even enjoyed this dish! We are lovers of Chinese food, particularly egg rolls, but know they aren’t the healthiest things to eat. I am so glad I found this healthy version and it’s quick. This will definitely be put into our meal rotation. Thank you so much for creating and sharing so many food options. Now, I can’t wait for lunch tomorrow…and to try more of your recipes!
I’m so happy to hear that, Tiffany! Thank you for sharing!!
This was amazing! I doubled the cabbage amount and made gluten free rice to toss with it! Her recipes are so good!
I’m so glad you enjoyed it, Michelle! Thanks for sharing!
I was expecting it to be good but was so happy with how delicious and easy this was! I added cashews at the end and it added the perfect crunch. Rice and zucchini were with perfect side
I’m so glad you were pleasantly surprised, Angelica! Thanks for sharing!
Loved this recipe for a weeknight change of pace! It was fresh and delicious. I added more shredded carrots and a small amount of rice to the bottom of the bowl.
I’m so glad you enjoyed it, Ro!
I LOVE this recipe!!! I didn’t have mayo for the sauce, and even without it, the recipe was delicious! I will definitely be adding it to our usual rotation!
I’m so glad you loved it, Anna!
Loved this recipe! It will definitely be worked in to our normal go-to’s. It is so easy, quick and has few ingredients I don’t already keep in stock! A must try!
I’m so glad you loved it, Briana! Thank you for sharing!
YUMMMMMM!!!! I’ve tried a few varieties of recipes around egg rolls in a bowl, and this is my new favorite!!! The spicy mayo sauce is DELICIOUS and I’m ready to make that in itself a staple in my fridge! I wasn’t sure how well sauce drenched cabbage would hold up in the fridge for lunch all week, so prepped this for the week by sautéing the meat in full, cutting up all my cabbage/carrots, and making a side of the sauce, so that I can quickly put it all together in a pan and make it fresh in 10 minutes every day! Love it! Thanks!
Thanks for sharing, Bianca! I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe!
This is so simple and delicious that it’s part of my weekly meal plan! One time I accidentally bought broccoli slaw instead of coleslaw mix and it was SO good. Highly recommend!!
Oh, broccoli slaw sounds delicious! I’m so glad you loved the recipe, Cece!
I’m only 15, and making this was actually so easy. It turned out perfect and i loved adding in some extra broccoli, and edamame!! my whole family enjoyed this and are already requesting it again.
I’m so glad you and your family enjoyed the recipe, Ava! Thank you for sharing!
So delicious! The sauce!!!!
The sauce is my favorite, too, Alison! I’m so glad you loved it!
I have been eyeing this recipe for months but never had all the ingredients on hand. I finally made it the other night and it was delicious!! I still didn’t have ground meat, but chopped up some leftover rotisserie chicken instead. This is going to be a new go-to weeknight meal since it is so quick and easy!
I’m so happy you made this recipe work for you, Amber! The rotisserie chicken idea is so smart. Thanks for sharing!
