This fun dish is a twist on the classic egg roll, but without the wrapper! Made with ground meat, crunchy veggies, and a tasty sauce, it’s quick to whip up and full of flavor.
I love how easy it is to make! It comes together in one pan, and you can customize it with your favorite ingredients—perfect for busy weeknights. Plus, who doesn’t love a bowl of goodness? 😊
Key Ingredients & Substitutions
Ground Pork: I love ground pork for its richness, but you can easily swap it for chicken or turkey. Both lean options work well, just remember to adjust the cooking time slightly for leaner meats.
Coleslaw Mix: This mix adds crunch and color! If you don’t have it, you can thinly slice cabbage and carrots yourself. Broccoli slaw could also be a fun twist!
Shiitake Mushrooms: These bring a unique flavor, but if you can’t find them, button or cremini mushrooms are great substitutes. They’re milder, but still delicious.
Green Onions: I love adding green onions for a fresh taste. If you don’t have them, chives or shallots can also work in a pinch. Save some for garnish to make your dish pop!
Sriracha: This adds heat. If you prefer a milder dish, feel free to use less or switch it for a sweet chili sauce for a different flavor.
How Do I Get the Perfect Sauté on Meat and Veggies?
Sautéing is key to getting flavors out of your ingredients. Here’s how to do it just right:
- Heat your skillet or griddle at medium-high heat before adding the meat. This helps in browning.
- Cook the ground meat until browned but don’t overcrowd the pan. This keeps it from steaming.
- Add the garlic, ginger, and mushrooms following the meat. Sautéing them together lets the garlic and ginger infuse their bold flavors into the dish.
- When the mushrooms become tender (about 3-4 minutes), add the coleslaw mix and sauces. A little patience here ensures everything softens nicely and flavors meld together.
Enjoy your cooking and remember, the more you practice, the easier it gets!

Can I Substitute the Ground Pork with Another Meat?
Absolutely! You can use ground chicken or turkey as a leaner option. Just keep an eye on the cooking time, as these meats may cook a bit quicker than pork. If you’re looking for a vegetarian option, try substituting with crumbled tofu or plant-based ground meat. Just ensure to season well!
What If I Don’t Have Shiitake Mushrooms?
No problem! You can switch shiitake mushrooms with any other type of mushroom, such as button or cremini. If you want extra flavor, you can also add a splash more soy sauce or some diced bell peppers for added texture and taste.
How Should I Store Leftovers?
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, just warm it on the stove over medium heat, stirring occasionally. You can also add a splash of soy sauce to freshen up the flavors!
Can I Make This Dish Spicier?
For sure! If you like it spicy, feel free to add more sriracha or throw in some red pepper flakes for extra heat. You could also serve it with chili oil on the side for those who want an extra kick!
