Tips that Will Surely Help!

• Keep the Sesame Oil: Don’t skip the toasted sesame oil—it gives the dish its classic “Asian” egg roll flavor. You can find a small bottle in the Asian food aisle of most grocery stores, including Walmart and Target. Use any extra oil in recipes like cold sesame peanut noodle salad, chicken lo mein, and honey sriracha shrimp.
• Brown the Meat Properly: Let the meat sit for a few minutes before breaking it up with a spoon. This helps it retain moisture and stay tender.
• Customize Your Dish: Use this recipe as a base and tweak the ingredients to your liking. Consider adding diced celery, sweet bell peppers, snap peas, snow peas, or baby corn. An extra tablespoon or two of hoisin sauce adds great flavor and richness to the sauce.
• Garnish Creatively: Top with extra sliced green onions, chives, fresh cilantro, toasted sesame seeds, chopped peanuts, crunchy chow mein noodles, or a squeeze of fresh lime juice.

Variations that Are a Must-Try!

• Choose Your Ground Meat: Use your preferred ground meat. Ground pork is great, but ground beef, chicken, sausage, or turkey work well too.
• Add an Egg: Right before serving, make a well in the center of the pan. Crack an egg into the well, scramble, and cook until done. Mix it into the dish.
• Vegetarian Option: Skip the ground meat. Instead, add mushrooms, diced tofu, or extra veggies like bean sprouts to bulk up the stir-fry.
• Shred Your Own Cabbage: If you prefer fresh cabbage over coleslaw mix, you’ll need about 6¾ cups of finely shredded cabbage.
• Make It Spicy: Add some heat with sriracha sauce or crushed red pepper flakes on individual servings.
• Cooking for Two: Halve the ingredients; the instructions stay the same.

Storing Tips for You!

• To Store: Keep the egg roll filling in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. You can also store the rice separately or combine everything in individual meal containers for meal prep.
• To Reheat: Warm up leftovers in the microwave or a wok on medium-low heat. Adding a bit more soy sauce can revive the flavors.
• To Freeze: Freeze leftovers in airtight, freezer-safe containers for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight before reheating as mentioned above.

Why Does This Recipe Dont Have an Egg in It?

This Egg Roll in a Bowl recipe skips the egg for simplicity and versatility. While traditional egg rolls have an egg in the filling, this version focuses on the main flavors and textures of the meat, veggies, and sauce. If you love eggs, you can easily add one by scrambling it into the dish at the end. This way, you get the best of both worlds!
