If you haven’t tried egg roll in a bowl yet, you’re in for a treat. Everything you love inside of an egg roll in a lighter, healthier, no-wrapper version! It’s ready in 15 minutes, making it a perfect weeknight dish!
Why This Recipe Is My Go-To Weeknight Dinner
- Experience: I’m an egg-roll superfan who’s tested every shortcut and variation, from air-fryer egg rolls to this faster, lighter bowl version.
- Speed: This is my real go-to on rushed nights. A 15-minute dinner that feeds the whole family without wrapping or frying anything.
- Flexibility: I built this recipe to be customizable. Swap veggies, proteins, or seasonings, and it still delivers the classic egg-roll flavor you’re craving.
Egg Roll In A Bowl Ingredients
- Ground Meat: Use ground chicken, ground pork, or ground beef as an alternative to the ground turkey!
- Coleslaw Mix: A premade mix makes it easy, but you can use shredded cabbage and matchstick carrots if you prefer.
- Veggies: Finely diced mushrooms keep the turkey juicy and boost flavor, and you can add even more color and nutrition with bell peppers, snow peas, or bok choy. Use whatever you love.
- Protein Swaps: Use ground turkey, chicken, or pork; all work well. For a vegan version, skip the meat and add more veggies.
- Want a little heat? Add some sriracha or red pepper flakes.
Egg Roll In A Bowl Recipe
When I am too tired to think of something to make, this is what I go for. Easy, fast, filling, and a decently healthy option! My kids love it, and it makes great leftovers for lunches throughout the week.
- Cook Onion & Garlic: In a large skillet or wok, heat sesame oil over medium-high heat. Add minced onion and cook until translucent. Add minced garlic and fresh grated ginger, and cook for an additional 30 seconds.
- Cook Ground Turkey: Add ground turkey and cook for 7-8 minutes until browned.
- Add Coleslaw: Add coleslaw mix and stir well until the coleslaw starts to soften.
- Add Soy Sauce & Salt & Pepper: Add soy sauce and hoisin sauce, then mix to combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and garnish with green onions.
Alyssa’s Pro Tip
Serve Egg Roll in a Bowl Over Rice: If I want this meal to be more filling and go a little farther, I serve it over rice. My kids love it over rice!

Yummy Egg Roll Recipes To Try
I definitely love my egg rolls! They are so fun to make and full of flavor. A few that I love right now are Air Fryer Avocado Egg Rolls, or these yummy Philly Cheesesteak Egg Rolls, and these fun Strawberry Cheesecake Egg Rolls for dessert!
So good! Did not need to add salt as even the low sodium soy sauce has plenty. I added siracha for the kick.
Easy, delicious dish! I did add a dash of fish sauce and a tablespoon of hoisin, other than that it was as written. Everyone loved it – a great way to get the kids to eat some cabbage! I strongly encourage everyone to try this recipe!
I made this using ground beef, as it’s what I had on hand. This recipe is my favorite kind….quick and easy, tasty and doesn’t leave many dirty dishes afterwards!
Excellent recipe! I didn’t change a thing and it turned out great. Easy, quick, healthy and delicious!!!!
Very quick and tasty dish! I used ground pork and added fine chopped mushrooms. It was a little bland but nothing a little more soy sauce, salt & pepper plus I added some Duck Sauce! I like that with my eggrolls. I’ll definitely be making this again!
Alyssa, I haven’t tried this Egg Roll In A Bowl recipe yet, but want to report an error on this recipe’s print page, https://therecipecritic.com/wprm_print/recipe/186464. When you change the servings size with the – or + buttons, the amount of fresh ginger changes, but the amount of dried ginger always remains 1 teaspoon.
Thanks for sharing all your wonderful recipes.
Thank you for letting me know about the error! I will make sure that gets fixed!
Sorry to tag onto this post but I posted a question it said was published but it’s not there. So just a quick for you Alyssa Rivers. You said ground mushrooms? Is that like dryed mushrooms or fresh grounded which then would become paste?
Thank you,
Janet Bell
You can just chop up some fresh mushrooms and add them to the ground turkey mixture and then cook it at the same time as the turkey!
