Cook the pork: First heat some oil (I like coconut oil) in a wok and add the ground pork. Cook it, stirring often, until no pink remains.
Slice the vegetables: You need to thinly slice the veggies, garlic, and ginger too, so do that while the pork cooks.
Add more ingredients to the wok: The garlic, ginger and shallot go in with the pork. Next you will add the veggies, soy sauce and sesame oil.
Add the egg: Push the other ingredients up the sides of the wok and crack in the egg. You can then scramble it in there, then stir it with the other ingredients. Get everything well mixed together.
Serve: Serve hot with red pepper flakes and green onions.

Pork Egg Roll in a Bowl Variations

Try ground beef or half ground beef and half ground pork if you want. Ground turkey or chicken would also work. Try other vegetables. What do you have in the refrigerator that needs to be used up? When making egg roll in a bowl with bean sprouts and green onions, you can throw anything in there!

Bell pepper, mushrooms and zucchini would work, or you could try white cabbage. A handful of edamame beans is always good in this pork eggroll in a bowl too and they add extra protein.

I like cilantro leaves as a garnish on the finished dish. Sriracha sauce can increase the heat (or you can serve hot sauce at the table).

Coleslaw mix is a timesaving alternative to you having to slice the carrot and cabbage yourself. It might cost a few more cents but it’s convenient, that’s for sure. And is delicious in these uncommon egg rolls.

Minced onion would work instead of the shallot. You could also add some cashew halves. You wouldn’t find those in a classic egg roll but since this is served in a bowl like a stir fry, anything goes!

Choose your favourite ingredients for this quick egg roll recipe and it’ll be perfect. This easy one-pan meal can be prepared in many ways and you might want to use different ingredients every time.

What to Serve with It

This 15-minute meal is great just as it is, since it’s filling. If you want to add a side dish though, consider fried or boiled white rice. Noodles tossed in a little sesame sauce are also good if you want to add some carbs. Serve this recipe with ground pork with whatever you like.

Egg Roll in a Bowl FAQs

Can you freeze pork egg roll in a bowl?

You can definitely freeze this. I recommend freezing it in portions in freezer-safe bags and then you can thaw it out whenever you want lunch in a hurry.

Is there a vegetarian version of egg roll in a bowl?

The egg part rules out this being vegan-friendly but you can absolutely make this suitable for a vegetarian diet by swapping the pork for your favourite protein (soy-marinated tofu, seitan and so on) or else just increasing the vegetable content and adding a handful of cashews too.

I think this is the best recipe with ground pork if you want a 15 minute meal which tastes great. It’s a nice way of using up vegetables which would otherwise go beyond their prime in the refrigerator. You can serve this pork egg roll in a bowl by itself or with rice or noodles. Try ‘cauliflower rice’ (sautéed grated cauliflower) for a low-carb side dish.
