Egg Roll in a Bowl is a flavorful, low-carb skillet dinner inspired by classic Chinese egg rolls. This easy recipe has all the delicious taste of an egg roll without the wrapper, featuring ground beef, crunchy coleslaw mix, carrots, and a savory soy-ginger sauce cooked together in a single pan for a quick and satisfying meal.

  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

Meat and Vegetables

  • 1½ pounds ground beef
  • 1 large onion, diced finely
  • ½ cup carrots, peeled and finely shredded
  • 16 ounces coleslaw mix
  • Green onions (optional garnish)

Seasonings and Oils

  • 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1½ teaspoons ground ginger
  • ½ to ¾ cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Instructions

  1. Cook the Ground Beef: In a large deep-sided skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until it is no longer pink. Avoid breaking the meat into smaller pieces; keep the chunks larger for texture. Once cooked, drain any excess grease from the skillet and return it to the stovetop.
  2. Sauté Onions and Garlic: Add the diced onions and minced garlic to the skillet with the beef. Cook them together until the onions become soft and translucent, making sure to maintain the larger pieces of beef to keep a hearty bite.
  3. Add Oils, Carrots, and Coleslaw Mix: Pour in 2 tablespoons of sesame oil, then add the shredded carrots and coleslaw mix to the skillet. Using tongs, gently combine all the ingredients, allowing them to cook together for about 5 minutes to soften the vegetables slightly.
  4. Prepare the Sauce and Seasonings: In a small bowl, mix together onion powder, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, ground ginger, soy sauce, and vegetable oil. This aromatic blend will add the iconic egg roll flavor to the dish.
  5. Combine and Simmer: Pour the sauce mixture over the meat and vegetable skillet contents. Reduce the heat to low and cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, to let the flavors meld and the sauce thicken slightly.
  6. Serve: Optionally garnish with sliced green onions before serving for a fresh and colorful finish. Enjoy your quick and delicious Egg Roll in a Bowl!

Notes

  • For a lower-fat version, substitute ground beef with lean ground turkey or chicken.
  • You can adjust the spice level by increasing or decreasing the red pepper flakes to taste.
  • If you prefer a vegetarian version, substitute ground beef with crumbled tofu or tempeh and use a vegetable-based soy sauce.
  • Serve with steamed rice or cauliflower rice for a complete meal.
  • Make sure not to overcook the coleslaw mix to retain a bit of crunch and freshness.
