πŸ₯’ Egg Roll in a Bowl


All the bold flavor of an egg roll — none of the deep frying!
This deconstructed egg roll recipe is savory, satisfying, and super simple to make. Packed with protein, veggies, and umami, it’s great for meal prep or a quick dinner fix.


🧾 Ingredients:

  • 1½ pounds ground beef (or substitute with ground pork, turkey, or chicken)

  • 1 large onion, finely diced

  • 1 tablespoon garlic, minced

  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil

  • ½ cup carrots, peeled and finely shredded

  • 16 ounces coleslaw mix (shredded cabbage and carrots)

  • ½ teaspoon onion powder

  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder

  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)

  • 1½ teaspoons ground ginger

  • ½ to ¾ cup low-sodium soy sauce, to taste

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

  • Green onions, sliced, for garnish (optional)


πŸ”ͺ Instructions:

  1. Cook the Beef:
    In a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef until browned and fully cooked. Drain excess grease if needed.

  2. Add Onion & Garlic:
    Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the beef. Sauté for 3–4 minutes until onion is soft and fragrant.

  3. Flavor Boost:
    Stir in sesame oil, onion powder, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, and ground ginger. Mix well to coat the beef with the spices.

  4. Add Veggies:
    Add the shredded carrots and coleslaw mix. Pour in the soy sauce (start with ½ cup and add more if needed). Toss everything together and stir-fry for 5–7 minutes, until the cabbage is tender but still slightly crisp.

  5. Finish with Oil:
    Drizzle in the vegetable oil to add a touch of richness and help with any sticking. Stir to combine.

  6. Garnish & Serve:
    Remove from heat and top with sliced green onions if desired. Serve hot — great on its own or over steamed rice or cauliflower rice!


πŸ₯£ Optional Add-Ins:

  • Water chestnuts for crunch

  • Chili garlic sauce or sriracha for extra heat

  • Fried wonton strips for a crispy topping (if not low-carb)
