When you’re craving the crunch of egg rolls but want a heartier meal, these egg roll bowls hit the spot. They’re like the unwrapped version of your favorite take-out snack, perfect for keeping you satisfied for hours. Whether you’re cutting carbs, need a tasty lunch, or just want a simple, wallet-friendly dinner, these bowls are the answer. Here’s how to whip them up just the way you like:
For the meat:
We used ground pork in this recipe, but you can switch it up with ground turkey, beef, or chicken. Want to go meatless? Try chopped mushrooms or plant-based ground beef instead.
Variety is key:
Besides the meat, we fill these bowls with onion, carrot, and cabbage, then sprinkle green onion, toasted sesame seeds, and lots of sriracha on top. But hey, feel free to get creative! Toss in extra veggies like celery or mushrooms, drizzle with duck sauce or sweet chili sauce, throw in a scrambled egg, add chopped peanuts, or spice it up with chili oil. It’s your bowl—make it your own!
