An Unwrapped Egg Roll Recipe

By now we are all familiar with “Egg Roll In A Bowl”. It is a great way to get those egg roll flavors but without the wrapper. However, it is still super filling! I have made chicken and beef versions but I had never done pork. It’s a more affordable option compared to beef and it brings a lot of flavor. It is the perfect lighter dinner or lunch option!

Ingredients Needed: (See Recipe Card Below For the Full Recipe)

ground pork– Use your favorite ground meat. I like to use ground pork, but ground chicken, beef, or turkey works great as well.

coleslaw mix– You want to cook the coleslaw until softened but not mushy. Use pre-made coleslaw or broccoli slaw to make it easy, but you also can shred your own cabbage. Whatever works for you!

soy sauce– you can use low sodium soy sauce if you’re sensitive to sodium. I tend to use low sodium more often these days.

toasted sesame oil– if you don’t have toasted sesame oil, regular sesame oil will work just fine or even olive or avocado oil if you don’t have or don’t like sesame oil.

grated fresh ginger– if you aren’t comfortable grating fresh ginger, or don’t have any, you can use some of this ginger paste. It also makes it nice and easy to squirt out exactly how much you need and save the rest for later. Typically, you can find the paste in the international food aisle, or more commonly, in the refrigerated produce section. If really in a pinch, you can use a teaspoon of ginger powder.

garlic– I like fresh minced garlic for the most flavor. But, if you need another option, try this Garlic Paste, again, just like the ginger paste, it’s easily squeezed so you can get just what you need and you’ll be able to save the rest for another recipe. It’s super simple to use and efficient, but can be pricey. Just a heads up, you’ll pay for that convenience in comparison to grabbing some from garlic cloves and grating it yourself. As a last resort, you can use a teaspoon of garlic powder.

green onions– thinly sliced, but used as an optional garnish. So, no harm, no foul if you don’t have any on hand.

fresh chopped cilantro– again, an optional ingredient. So, if you’re on the dislike team of cilantro, feel free to omit it, this will still taste great!

sesame seeds– optional garnish, but adds a nice crunch to the mix

Ground pork, coleslaw mix, soy sauce, toasted sesame oil, fresh ginger, garlic, and optional garnishes like green onions, cilantro, and sesame seeds.

How To Make Pork Egg Roll In A Bowl:
