The flavors of your favorite Chinese takeout appetizer in a lighter meal. I love that this egg roll in a bowl recipe is loaded with veggies but has very little slicing or dicing that is needed. It doesn't get much easier - I promise!

⭐Why I Love It:
- 20 Minute Meal - There are few dinners that come together this fast!
- One Pan Dinner - Everything is cooked up in a large skillet or pot for easy clean up!
- Egg Roll-Inspired Flavors - It's a great recipe when you're craving Chinese takeout, but want something lighter.
🥘Ingredients
- Sesame Oil - I like the flavor that using sesame oil adds, but you can swap in another oil like olive oil, canola oil, or avocado oil.
- Onion - white onion or yellow onion. If you're in a pinch, I've also made this without diced onion and just sprinkled extra green onions on top and it's still fantastic!
- Green Onions - also called scallions or spring onions. I like to thinly slice lots of them to sprinkle on top before serving.
- Pork Sausage - or ground pork. You can also use ground pork to make these Asian Pork Meatballs. You can even substitute a turkey sausage, ground turkey, or ground beef.
- Garlic - fresh cloves or a jar of minced garlic works great.
- Ginger - fresh or a jar of minced ginger can be used.
- Bag of Coleslaw Mix - You can also use a bag of shredded cabbage as coleslaw mix is just shredded cabbage and shredded carrots.
- Sriracha - This is to add a kick of spice! If you don't have any sriracha, I also like to use a pinch of red pepper flakes.
- Soy Sauce - I use low sodium soy sauce. You can also swap in tamari or coconut aminos.
- Sesame Seeds - I love to do a generous shake of sesame seeds on top before serving.

🍚Serving Suggestions
I find this recipe to be a filling meal on its own, but if you want to stretch it even further, I love topping a bowl with a fried egg. It's also great served alongside cooked white rice (or even kimchi fried rice) or spooned into lettuce cups and eaten like lettuce wraps.

Pork Egg Roll Bowls are an easy one-pan dinner that take just 15 minutes to cook! Low carb and keto friendly as well. The two main ingredients are just pork sausage (or ground pork) and a bag of coleslaw mix. So simple for a takeout-inspired dinner!
- Prep Time: 5 minutes
- Cook Time: 15 minutes
- Total Time: 20 minutes
- Yield: 4 servings
- Category: Main Dish, One Pan
- Method: Stove
- Cuisine: Asian
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 1 small white onion, diced
- 5 green onions, thinly sliced, whites and greens separated
- 1lb pork sausage, or ground pork
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh minced ginger
- 1 14 ounce bag coleslaw mix, see note
- 1 tablespoon Sriracha
- 3 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
- sesame seeds, optional for topping
- salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Sauté the Onions. In a large skillet, heat to medium and add the sesame oil. Add the diced white onion and the whites of the sliced green onions. Sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until the onions are soft and translucent.
- Cook the Pork. Add the ground pork sausage. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper, to taste. Cook the sausage, crumbling and browning, for 3-5 minutes. When the pork is almost fully cooked (just a little pink left), add the garlic and ginger. Continue to cook for 1 minute until the pork is fully cooked (no pink remaining) and the garlic and ginger is soft and fragrant.
- Add Coleslaw. Add the coleslaw mix to the skillet along with the soy sauce and sriracha. Sauté everything together until the coleslaw mix is softened and everything is combined. About 3-5 minutes. Season with additional salt and pepper, if needed.
- Serve and Enjoy. Top with the greens of the green onions and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Enjoy!
Notes
Coleslaw Mix - You can also swap in just shredded cabbage. When I want to really up my veggie intake, I will use a second bag of coleslaw mix and add a little extra garlic/ginger/soy sauce.

This is so dang good! I have made it several times and it’s one of my favorite meals to make for friends for something healthy but a little different! I used ground pork and I serve it over rice 👏🏼
