Egg Roll in a Bowl Recipe
Made in one skillet in under 30 minutes, this has everything you love about the Chinese appetizer, but without the deep-fried wrapper! All you need is some ground turkey or pork, common pantry staples like soy sauce, sesame oil, and rice vinegar, and some fresh cabbage or colelsaw mix.
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil divided
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 1 small sweet onion finely diced
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- 3 garlic cloves finely minced
- 1 teaspoon finely minced fresh ginger
- ¼ cup chicken broth
- 1 small head cabbage about 8 cups shredded (see note)
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
For Serving (Optional):
- Cooked white rice
- Green onions green parts only, thinly sliced
- Toasted sesame seeds
- Sriracha Mayo optional
Instructions
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the turkey and cook until almost cooked through, about 5-6 minutes.
- Push the turkey to one side of the pan and add onion and remaining tablespoon of oil. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add shredded carrots, garlic, and ginger and cook for 2 minutes, stirring frequently. Pour in the chicken broth and scrape any brown bits from the bottom of the pan.
- Add the cabbage, tamari or soy sauce, vinegar, salt, and pepper. Stir well and cover. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook for 12-15 minutes, or until cabbage has reached your desired tenderness. Remove from the heat and add toasted sesame oil.
- Serve egg roll in a bowl over white rice, if using, and top with green onions, toasted sesame seeds, and sriracha mayo, if desired.

Notes
*Recipe was updated on 11/6/23 to include an additional cup of cabbage, tablespoon of soy sauce, teaspoon of rice vinegar, and ¼ teaspoon of salt.
- Nutrition: Facts were calculated without any of the additional serving options.
- Storage: Store leftovers in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. I would not recommend freezing this recipe since excess water will accumulate after thawing, causing the cabbage to become mushy.
- Reheating: Warm up leftovers in a skillet over medium-low heat for the best taste and texture. You can also warm it up in the microwave, but it will be soggier.
- Cabbage. Freshly shredded cabbage is best, but you can also use 2 bags of coleslaw mix or pre-shredded cabbage.
- Soy sauce: Regular soy sauce works great, but can be a tad bit too salty. I prefer to use Tamari when making this recipe so you get all of the flavor without the extra sodium. Plus, it's naturally gluten-free, too! Use coconut liquid aminos if on a Whole30 diet.
