Egg Roll in a Bowl

Your dinners just got easier with this quick, one-pan recipe. My Egg Roll in a Bowl has all the flavor of a traditional egg roll, but it’s lighter, healthier, and ready in about 15 minutes. This one-pan dinner is one of my favorite easy meals—especially in the new year when simple, wholesome dinners feel extra good.

Why You’ll Love This Egg Roll in a Bowl

• Cooks in under 15 minutes
• One pan, minimal cleanup
• Low-carb
• Easy to customize with chicken or turkey
• Great for meal prep

Ingredients You’ll Need:

Here’s what you’ll need to make this lighter Egg Roll in a Bowl:

• 1 lb ground chicken (or ground turkey)
• 14 oz coleslaw mix
• 1 small onion, diced
• 2 Tbsp minced garlic
• 1 Tbsp fresh grated ginger
• 1 bunch green onions, sliced
• 2 Tbsp coconut aminos
• 2 Tbsp sesame seeds (optional)
• Sriracha mayo (optional)
• Water chestnuts, drained (optional)

This recipe takes little time, which is another reason I love it, so have everything chopped and ready before you start.

Ground Chicken

I love this dish with ground chicken. I have also used ground turkey. Both of these options are healthier.

Coconut Aminos

Use Coconut aminos instead of soy sauce. This is a substitute for soy sauce, and I use it all of the time. For example, in my Chicken Cauliflower Rice recipe, I use it in place of soy sauce. No one even knows. It’s Whole30-and Keto-friendly too.

Coleslaw Mix

To make this recipe super easy, I use Coleslaw Mix. It’s so convenient and beats chopping a head of cabbage.

Onion, Garlic, and Ginger

These flavors make this taste like an egg roll. Fresh ginger adds so much brightness, so I really recommend using it if you can.

Optional Add-Ins

Sriracha Mayo

This is optional, but I do feel like it adds to the flavor. I only use a little because it has a little bite. Keep in mind that if you are on a restricted diet, this does contain eggs.

Water Chestnuts

This is another optional ingredient. I decided to add this at the last minute because my husband likes them, and I loved how it turned out. They are higher in carbs, so again, if you follow a specific diet, this may not work for you.

Sesame Seeds

You can add this to your bowl if you desire. It’s a mixture of Black Sesame Seeds and White Sesame Seeds. It adds texture and makes the dish look pretty.

How to Make Egg Roll in a Bowl

• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
• Add the ground chicken and brown for 5-6 minutes, or until the chicken is almost done—season with sea salt and pepper.
• Add white onion, garlic, and ginger, and saute until fragrant.
• Add coleslaw mix and green onions (water chestnuts if desired) once the chicken is browned. Cook for 5 minutes or until the coleslaw is finished.
• Divide into bowls and add sesame seeds and or Sriracha Mayo if you desire.
