This Eggroll in a Bowl is a fun twist on the classic eggroll, made right on your Blackstone griddle! Ground meat, crunchy veggies, and tasty sauces come together for a colorful dish.
It’s like eating takeout but without all the extra work! I love how quick it is to throw everything on the griddle and have dinner ready in no time. Perfect for busy nights!
Ingredients & Substitutions
Ground Pork or Beef: This recipe can be made with either ground pork or beef. For a leaner option, you could use ground turkey or chicken, which works well too! I recommend sticking with pork for the classic flavor, but personal preference rules here!
Coleslaw Mix: Coleslaw mix is a tremendous time-saver! You can easily swap it for fresh shredded cabbage if that’s what you have on hand. Don’t worry about the colors – green and red cabbage mix well. I also enjoy adding a bit of sliced bell pepper for extra crunch.
Green Onions: Chopped green onions add a nice fresh flavor. You can replace them with chives or omit them entirely if they’re not available. If you love a bit of zing, try adding regular onions while cooking the ground meat for extra depth!
Soy Sauce: For a gluten-free version, opt for tamari instead of regular soy sauce. Low-sodium soy sauce is also a great choice if you’re watching your salt intake. I prefer using dark soy sauce for a richer taste!
How Do I Make Sure the Vegetables Stay Crisp?
Getting the vegetables just right is key to keeping that fresh flavor! Here are a few tips:
- Cook the meat thoroughly before adding the veggies. This ensures they don’t get overcooked!
- Stir frequently but be careful not to over-stir! This helps retain that delightful crunch.
- Set your heat at medium-high for a good sear while cooking the cabbage mixture for just 4-5 minutes.
Following these steps keeps your veggies slightly tender yet still crisp, keeping that lovely texture in your Eggroll In A Bowl!

Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Preheat the Griddle:
First, turn on your Blackstone griddle and set it to medium-high heat. You want it nice and hot for cooking the meat and veggies.
2. Cook the Meat:
Add the ground pork or beef to the hot griddle. Use a spatula to break it apart as it cooks. Cook the meat for about 5-7 minutes, or until it’s browned and no longer pink. Make sure to stir it occasionally!
3. Add Aromatics:
Once the meat is cooked, sprinkle in the minced garlic and, if you like, the optional minced ginger. Stir everything around for about a minute until you can smell the yummy aroma—this is what makes it so tasty!
4. Stir in the Vegetables:
Now, toss in the coleslaw mix and the shredded carrots. Cook for around 4-5 minutes while stirring frequently. You want the veggies to be a bit tender yet still have a nice crunch.
5. Season the Dish:
Next, drizzle the soy sauce and sesame oil over the mixing bowl. Give everything a good toss to combine well, then add salt and pepper to taste. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes so all the flavors blend beautifully.
6. Finish and Serve:
Take the bowl off the heat and sprinkle the chopped green onions on top for a fresh kick. Serve your Eggroll In A Bowl hot, and feel free to add Sriracha or your favorite hot sauce for a little extra spice. Enjoy your meal!
Can I Use Ground Turkey Instead of Pork or Beef?
Absolutely! Ground turkey is a great leaner substitute and works well in this recipe. Just pay attention to the cooking time as turkey may cook slightly faster, so ensure it is fully browned before adding the veggies.
How Can I Make This Recipe Vegetarian?
To make this dish vegetarian, simply substitute the ground meat with tofu or a plant-based meat alternative. Crumbled firm tofu works well—just make sure to drain and press it to remove excess moisture before adding it to the pan.
What Can I Use Instead of Soy Sauce?
If you’re looking for a gluten-free option or want to avoid soy, try using tamari, coconut aminos, or liquid aminos. If you’re looking for flavor without the sodium, low-sodium soy sauce is also a great choice!
How to Store Leftovers?
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat on the stovetop or microwave until warmed through, adding a splash of water or broth if the mixture seems dry.
