This egg roll in a bowl recipe is one of my favorite low carb meals. It’s packed with protein and veggies, made in one skillet and comes together in less than 30 minutes!
If you like the flavor of egg rolls, but prefer to avoid fried foods, you’re going to really enjoy this simple egg roll in a bowl recipe. It’s basically all the fillings you’d typically find in an egg roll, cooked and served up as a bowl meal.
Why I Love This Recipe
- Tastes like an egg roll – It has all the flavors of egg rolls minus the fried wrapper.
- Easy – This recipe comes together in under 30 minutes, with a minimal prep work and everything is made in one skillet for easy clean up!
- Healthy – It’s low-carb, gluten-free and dairy-free.

“Wow! I’m amazed. I could seriously eat this every single day! It’s so good!!!! Thank you so much! I did leave out the sambal oelek because I don’t care for spicy. This dish is seriously what my taste buds have been missing!” – Rachel
Ingredients Needed for Egg Roll In a Bowl
You only need 9 simple ingredients to whip up this delicious recipe. Here’s what you need:
- ground turkey or ground chicken – I prefer to use turkey or chicken in this recipe because they’re leaner, but you can also use a lean ground beef or ground pork.
- yellow onion – we’re sautéing the onion with the ginger and garlic before adding the coleslaw mix to create a flavorful, savory base to this dish.
- fresh garlic – fresh garlic is key here for optimal flavor. Of course you can take a shortcut method and buy peeled garlic, jarred minced garlic or frozen crushed garlic cubes. I just wouldn’t recommend swapping the fresh garlic for garlic powder.
- fresh ginger – fresh ginger gives this dish the best flavor. Mince the ginger yourself or buy frozen ginger cubes for easier prep. I always have these in the freezer.
- coleslaw mix – store-bought coleslaw mix is what makes this recipe so easy! Feel free to also use broccoli slaw if that’s all you can find. You can totally shred your own cabbage and carrots if you prefer, but using the bagged mix saves a ton of time.
- toasted sesame oil – this adds a nutty flavor to the dish. I highly recommend using sesame oil but in pinch you can use another option in your pantry like olive oil or avocado oil.
- low sodium soy sauce – this adds robust flavor and saltiness to the dish. As I mention in the recipe you can use low-sodium tamari for a gluten-free option or coconut aminos. I often use the coconut aminos because it’s gluten-free and I love that it has a hint of sweetness.
- sriracha sauce or sambal oelek – either of these ingredients will add a nice hint of spice and flavor. If you don’t want the dish to be spicy at all, simply omit it! If you like more flavor and spice, you can always add more or add a dash of red pepper flakes.
- green onions – for serving, green onions add a nice freshness and added flavor to this dish.
How to Make Egg Roll in a Bowl
Step 1: Brown ground meat in a large skillet. Break meat into smaller pieces as it cooks using a wooden spoon or spatula and season liberally with salt and pepper.
Step 2: Add onion, garlic, ginger, coleslaw mix, soy sauce, sesame oil and sriracha to the skillet. Cook for another 5 minutes or so, until cabbage is tender. Portion into bowls and serve.
Brittany’s Tips
- Bagged coleslaw mix makes this recipe so easy to whip up, but some other convenience items that save time include jarred minced garlic or frozen crushed garlic cubes, as well as, frozen crushed ginger! You could even buy pre-chopped onion if you really want to save time.
- The recipe serves 3, but if we’re really hungry we can eat the whole meal between 2 people, especially if we don’t serve it with cauliflower rice. If you’re serving a family of 4 or want leftovers for lunch the next day, I would definitely double the recipe.
Does an Egg Roll Have Eggs in it?
I keep getting this question so here we go! Egg rolls get their name from the outer layer, which is a fried wrapper that has egg in the dough so typically eggs aren’t used in the stuffing of egg rolls.
That said, you can totally scramble an egg into this mixture if you’d like! It will add more protein and a bit of egg flavor. Once the ground meat and cabbage is combined, create a well in the center of the skillet, add an egg and scramble until the egg is cooked through, then plate and serve.
Recipe Variations
- Want to add more vegetables? Go for it! Some ideas include frozen peas or corn, chopped mushrooms and/or finely sliced bell peppers. Pick your favorites and add them in. Just know that if you add a ton more veggies, you’ll probably want to add more soy sauce and sriracha to keep the dish just as flavorful.
- Use a different protein – I prefer to use a lean protein like ground turkey or chicken, but you can use ground pork or ground beef if that’s what you have on hand. For a vegetarian option, you could add scrambled eggs, tofu or tempeh instead of ground meat. I actually have a tofu egg roll in a bowl recipes in my cookbook, Mostly Veggies.
How to Serve
This dish is definitely a full meal, but if you want to add different toppings or serve it with a grain go for it. Here are some ideas:
- With toppings: I like keeping the toppings for this bowl fresh and simple with green onions, cilantro, sesame seeds and more sriracha or chili crisp. If you want something crunchy try serving this dish topped with chopped peanuts or almonds. If you’re an aioli lover you can mix sriracha with mayo for a spicy aioli to top this meal off with something creamy! Lately we’ve been topping our bowls with a drizzle of yum yum sauce.
- Over rice: You can totally serve the egg roll in a bowl straight up, but if you’re looking for more volume and veggies (without extra carbs) feel free to cook up some cauliflower rice and serve the egg roll in a bowl over top! You can also serve it over regular rice or even quinoa if you prefer.
How to Meal Prep
You can totally meal prep this recipe by making it as is or doubling it for more servings. Cook it completely and store individual servings in airtight containers. It’s an easy meal to bring to work or heat up for a busy weeknight. If I’m being honest, I’ve also eaten it cold, straight from the fridge. It’s that good!
How to Store Leftovers
This egg roll in a bowl recipe stores really well in the fridge! It should last 4-5 days in the refrigerator when stored in an airtight container. When you’re ready to enjoy, heat it up over the stovetop or in the microwave.

Egg Roll in a Bowl
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground turkey or chicken
- ¼ cup yellow onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons fresh ginger, grated or minced
- 1 12-14 oz package coleslaw mix
- ¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce, tamari or coconut aminos
- 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
- 1-2 teaspoons sriracha or sambal oelek
- 2 green onions, sliced
- sriracha, for serving (optional)
- sesame seeds and chopped cilantro, for garnish
- cooked cauliflower rice, for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground meat and cook until no longer pink, about 5-6 minutes. While cooking, break meat into smaller pieces using a wooden spoon or spatula and season liberally with salt and pepper.
- Add onion, garlic, ginger, coleslaw mix, soy sauce, sesame oil and sriracha to the skillet. Cook for another 5 minutes or so, until cabbage is tender. Taste and add more soy sauce or sriracha, if needed.
- Portion mixture into bowls and top with green onions, sesame seeds and cilantro. Serve with additional soy sauce, sriracha or chili crisp, if desired.

Notes
- Topping idea – Lately when I make this, I’ve been topping my bowl with a drizzle of yum yum sauce, which adds a little creaminess and makes the bowl really flavorful.
- Protein – Feel free to swap the ground turkey or chicken with ground pork or ground beef instead if you prefer. For a vegan option use tempeh or tofu.
- Add an egg – This recipe doesn’t call for eggs, but if you want to amp up the protein you can add one in. Once everything is cooked, create a well in the center of the skillet, add an egg and scramble until the egg is cooked through, then plate and serve.
- Serving size – The recipe serves 3, but if we’re really hungry we can eat the whole meal between 2 people, especially if we don’t serve it with cauliflower rice. If you’re serving a family of 4 or want leftovers for lunch the next day, I would definitely double the recipe.

So delicious! Used pickled ginger 🫚 because that’s what we had. Added chopped cashews, cilantro to the top. The kids added crushed up pita chips and they tasted like chow mein noddles.
Oh yay! So glad this recipe was a hit. I bet it was delicious with the pickled ginger. Thanks for making it and for coming back to leave a review, Allison. I appreciate it!
Super easy and we added it to leftover vegetable fried rice that I made last night. I discovered that my sesame seeds were old so didn’t use them. Definitely will purchase more for the next time. I think chopped peanuts sprinkled on the top for a little crunch would be nice also. Thanks for all your great recipes.
So glad you loved this recipe! Thanks for making it and for coming back to leave a review. I so appreciate it!
Looking forward to trying this recipe. Quick question though as I am a bit confused. In the notes section that discusses adding in an egg for extra protein it mentions cooking the egg after the cabbage is cooked and then it says before adding the meat in. Are you supposed to remove the meat after it’s cooked and then cook the other ingredients?? The main recipe doesn’t mention removing the meat
Thanks
Sorry for the confusion – the original recipe had you taking the meat out after cooking then adding it back in, but I’ve since updated the recipe so everything can be cooked in one pan. I just updated the notes section about when to add the eggs. Thanks for catching this!
Such an easy meal to make and so delish!
Yay! So glad you loved this recipe, Kerry. Thanks for making it and for coming back to leave a review. I appreciate it!
Thank you for this easy , tasty meal. We’ve had it twice now. The first time, we stuck mostly to the base recipe using 99% FF turkey breast (our normal option), plus coconut aminos. It was good but, aside from spice, seemed a bit bland to us. This time, we doubled the recipe using half 99%/half 93% and half soy sauce/half coconut aminos. Plus we added in some extra red cabbage and red bell pepper. At the end of cooking, it was much more flavorful, but needed some sort of pop…a sprinkle of rice vinegar and bam! We had it last night just topped with a little crunchy chow mein noodles. Today’s plan for leftovers is lettuce wraps! And the remaining will go into a stuffed pepper for the final leftover round. Can’t wait to keep experimenting with new veggies for this!
Yay! So glad this recipe was a hit. Thanks for sharing your modifications and for coming back to leave a review. I so appreciate it!
SO good! very high protein and filling, served it over a bed of white rice! will be my go to easy weeknight dinner!!
Yay! That makes me so happy to hear. Thanks for making this recipe and for coming back to leave a review. I so appreciate it!
I love making this recipe, but honestly, I’m not sure how to log it in MFP? What is 1/3? Is there a gram or OZ measurement for that? It’s just me eating it and I generally eat it with some other vegetable or a salad. Should I just weigh the whole container and say divide by 3 o 4? I know these seems like a foolish question, but I would like to measure it accurately.
Thanks
Hi Liz! Not a foolish question. I haven’t actually weighed this recipe in grams, but I’ll try to do that next time I make it to help people better measure out portions. 🙂 I normally just eyeball the recipe and divide it by 3 when serving.
This was delicious! I’ve had other egg roll in a bowl recipes that were meh. Using ground turkey was a game changer! Dinner was also ready in less than 30 minutes! Thank you for a great recipe!
Woo!! That makes me so happy to hear, Buffie. Thanks for coming back to leave a review. It means the world to me.

We had it with Jasmine rice and also added half of a red bell pepper, which was a yummy add!

YAY! I am so glad you are enjoying this recipe, Vicky! Thanks so much for sharing your review + star rating, I really appreciate it!
I made this for dinner tonight and both my husband and I thought it was delicious. We didn’t serve it with cauliflower rice. I have to tell you we tried someone else’s version quite some time ago and didn’t care for it, so as I was searching your website for recipes and saw you saying it was one of your favorite low carb recipes I was hesitant to give it a try. Not only was it low carb, heart healthy, inexpensive and quick to make it was delicious. The list of your recipes we make over and over Keeps growing. Thank you for sharing all your recipes with us.
Amazing! This seriously makes me so happy to hear, Vicky. Thank you so much for coming back and sharing your review + star rating, I really appreciate it!
This recipe checks all the boxes:
✅ quick and easy

I made a double batch to make 4 generous adult-sized servings (with the suggestions to add eggs and some shredded carrots, and a small side of brown rice) and this was an absolute hit! This is perfect for meal prep. Will be making it again!!

Can you freeze this?
Hi Kristy – I don’t think I would recommend freezing this recipe. The cabbage mixture texture won’t be the same after freezing. Hope you give this a try and enjoy!
Really LOVED this! My daughter and husband loved it too. Nice and light and it makes a good size portion with the cabbage mix in there. I added a few dashes of rice wine vinegar to finish and it was really good! Not to mention really quick to throw together. Thanks for sharing this recipe! A definite keeper to add to my stash of recipes.
AMAZING! I am SO glad you found this recipe and you all are loving it, Kasey! Thank you for coming back and sharing your review + star rating, I truly appreciate it!
Absolutely delicious and nutritious…my whole family loves it! Kids’ age range from 12 down to 7, and all kids enjoy this meal. I make a double batch to have leftovers to eat for lunch during the week.

WOO! This means so much. I am glad you found this recipe and are loving it. Thank you for your review & star rating, I really appreciate it!
Great base recipe to make as is or use as your own. I like to use double the meat and I use regular slaw mix and trader Joe’s broccoli kale slaw. I add it all together. I also add edamame usually. Can also use pork instead of chicken or turkey. I season the meat with garlic salt instead of regular salt.
YUM! I love this so much! I am so glad you are loving this recipe and are able to adjust it so easily. Thanks for sharing your review & star rating, I truly appreciate it!
Tried this for the first time tonight and it was delicious! The whole family enjoyed. As a bonus- it was simple to make.
This recipe was fantastic!! Final product tasted exactly like an egg roll. It’s hard to find flavorful low-carb recipes, but this one does the trick! Even my husband (who can be a bit of a picky eater) commented on how wonderful this smelled while I was cooking, and later on he also tried it and loved it! Thank you!
WOO! Such a win, Stephanie. I am excited to hear that this recipe is a hit. Thank you so much for your review & star rating, I really appreciate it!

Hey Kristy, so glad you loved this recipe! Thanks for making it. I haven’t tried freezing this before, but I would imagine it would freeze just fine if stored in a freezer-safe container. Let me know how it turns out if you try freezing it.
No egg in “Egg roll in a bowl”?
Hi, Lynne! There is typically no egg in the filling for an egg roll. This is what I found in a quick google search: “Many people assume egg rolls (most specifically egg roll wrappers) include egg, which is why it’s named so, but it often does not contain any egg whatsoever. It’s been thought egg rolls were influenced by a specific recipe called Dan Gun or simply “egg roll” recipe from the Chinese American Cookbook. I hope that helps!
I absolutely love this recipe! Will make it often. Great flavor and easy to do. Thanks
Woo! Love to hear that, Lori! So glad this recipe was a hit. Thank you so much for coming back to leave a review and star rating, it means so much to me!

Love this recipe! Is it possible to make double batch and freeze some?
Thanks!
You can definitely make a double batch! I haven’t tried freezing it, so I’m not sure how it would turn out after thawing it, but I would imagine it’d be fine. Let me know if you try it!
Ohh love this dinner recipe! Super quick and easy but also really flavorful. We added rice as a base but it would be great with or without. It’s a really tasty, light dinner and a great weeknight go-to. Thanks so much EBF!
Woo!! So glad you loved this recipe, Emily!! Thanks so much for making it and for coming back to leave a review. I so appreciate it. 🙂

Woo!! So glad this recipe was a hit. Thanks for coming back to leave a review, Julie. I so appreciate it!
This is the 3rd recipe I’ve tried from EBF and once again, didn’t disappoint! Hubby loved it! Definitely keeping this one in the rotation. The whole thing, without prepping ahead of time, came together in 30 minutes. Winner! Trying another recipe tomorrow, can’t wait. I’ve been telling everyone I know about this website especially my vegetarian and vegan friends who are all looking for something delish and new to add to their menu plan. Thanks Brittany!
Woo!! This makes me so happy to hear. I’m pumped to hear this recipe was a hit. Thanks for the review. I so appreciate it!
So good and easy and QUICK! Hit with the whole family.
Woo!! So glad this recipe was a hit with your family. Thanks for the review. I really appreciate it!
I have made this recipe several times, and it has never disappointed! It’s super quick, healthy, and delicious! Leftovers are great too! Highly recommend trying 🙂
Woo! This makes me so happy to hear, Brittney! I really appreciate you coming back to leave a comment and star rating as well!
I was looking forward to making this recipe because it looks so good. Unfortunately, something in the recipe (perhaps the coconut aminos) did not agree with me and I had stomach cramps for two days with an insatiable need for water.
So sorry to hear that, Kathleen! I wonder what it could have been. If you don’t have issues with soy you could sub in the coconut aminos for tamari or soy sauce in the future.
This recipe is simple and flavourful! I used tofu in place of meat and it turned out great.
So glad you enjoyed this recipe, Jessica. Thanks for the review, I so appreciate it!
I really enjoyed this recipe. It was very easy to make but flavorful. I’ll add it to my meal rotation.
So glad you enjoyed this dish, Melissa! Thanks for making it and for coming back to leave a review. I so appreciate it. 🙂
This is a great recipe. Very easy. I’ve never bought Sambal, thanks for the introduction! I used ground chicken and also added scrambled eggs. I served this over brown rice. Warm and yummy dinner!

Woo!! So glad you enjoyed this recipe, Amanda. Thanks so much for making it and for coming back to leave a review. I really appreciate it. 🙂
We LOVE this meal! It has made it into our weekly rotation for over a month. Our 14- month old loves it too— we just add the sambal oelek at the table instead of into the main dish! This is quick, easy, flavorful, and worth making again and again!
Yay!! That makes me so happy to hear. I’m glad this recipe has been a hit with your family, Jillian. 🙂 Thanks for taking the time to come back to leave a review. I so appreciate it!
This is amazing! I had a friend over for dinner and made this and we both liked it so much that she asked for the recipe so she could make it for her boyfriend. I used chili garlic sauce in place of the samba oelek

I made this tonight and it’s seriously good! I made it exactly as written and it’s perfect- I even managed to find the sambal oelek at my grocery store (hadn’t heard of it before). I’ll be making this again! (I also made your 5 ingredient peanut butter cups for dessert- another winner!)
Thanks!

Wow! This is unbelievable! I made it with crumbled tofu to make it vegan and added sliced mushrooms as well. It only took me about 15 minutes to whip this together! I have found my new go to Monday night meal! Thank you! ❤️

So good AND simple! I’ve made this 2 times in the past week because everyone loved it… even the picky eaters! Thanks for another amazing recipe!
So delicious! I made this for dinner last night and my husband said it was a keeper!
I used ground turkey and I chopped up cabbage and shredded my own carrots. Even with that little extra work it was a super easy meal.
I didn’t have sambal oelek, but definitely want to add that in next time. The sriracha on top added a really good flavor.

Another new family favorite. Even with my 5 y/o who isn’t the biggest fan of meat, but he loved it with ground chicken. Thank you EBF!

This was so good! We didn’t have sambal oelek paste so we added chili powder and extra garlic while cooking the ground turkey and added extra sriracha. Will be making this often!

Omg, we absolutely loved this recipe! It was delicious and so easy! We used ground lean turkey. Even my boyfriend liked it and he’s very picky! Highly recommend!!
This looks amazing! Can you omit the sambal oelek?
Hey Monica – You can definitely leave it out if you prefer. I just love the flavor it adds! 🙂
This was the easiest dish to make – took less than 20 min and I had food on the table for the family. Even my pickiest eater gobbled this up. We served it with rice and didn’t use green onions since we didn’t have them on hand. Still amazing!

Yay!! I’m so glad you enjoyed this dish, Jillian. Thanks for trying it, I so appreciate it. 🙂
This was hands down one of the best recipes I’ve made in a long time. Just because it’s simple doesn’t mean it’s not full of flavor!! I love spicy so I added a chopped jalapeño when I cooked the onions. I can’t wait for leftovers for dinner tonight!!!

Would you recommend your sweet & sour tempeh with this or just basic steamed tempeh? TIA
Best homemade Chinese food I’ve had. We used pork and I added a touch of whole grain mustard.

Awesome ! I added Australian Shrimp to mine!
I love how the veggies are so customizable in this recipe!! So yum!! And anything that has sesame oil is 💯
So delish!! I added 2 eggs to it while the cabbage mixture was cooking and also added some celery I had in the Frig… so tasty! The ginger and sesame is such a good combo 🙂
Ahh yay!! I’m so glad you enjoyed this dish, Grace!! Thanks for trying it and for coming back to leave a comment and star rating. It means the world to me. <3
So easy and so delicious! Made this with ground turkey AND scrambled eggs — greatly recommend including both for added texture/flavor/protein. The garnish of (extra) green onions, sriracha, cilantro and sesame seeds is necessary and absolutely makes the dish. Will be a staple for sure!

This looks so tempting. Thanks for sharing this delicious recipe.
WOW! Stumbled upon this recipe right when I had some Asian Slaw Mix that i needed to use ASAP. What a win!
I had to make a few substitutions – sriracha for the sambal paste, ginger paste and minced garlic instead of fresh, dried cilantro, etc. But I LOVE this recipe and will definitely be making it often. I’m vegetarian, so I just used scrambled egg, but will try tofu next time.
Thanks for the great recipe!
Ahh what perfect timing!! I’m so glad you enjoyed this recipe, Katie and thanks for sharing your subs you made. It’s super helpful for other readers. 🙂 And thanks for taking the time to leave a comment and star rating. I so appreciate it!
Sumptuous & healthy
