This Blackstone Egg Roll In A Bowl is a fun and easy dish with all the yumminess of classic egg rolls, minus the deep frying! It’s packed with cabbage, veggies, and tasty meat.
Plus, everything cooks in one pan! I love whipping this up for a quick dinner—it’s colorful, healthy, and perfect for those nights when you want something cozy.
Key Ingredients & Substitutions
Ground Pork: This is the star of the dish, but you can swap it for ground chicken or turkey. They both work well and can lighten the meal. I enjoy using pork for its flavor, but chicken adds a nice twist too!
Soy Sauce: Soy sauce gives a great umami flavor. If you’re watching your sodium, low-sodium soy sauce is a good choice. For a gluten-free option, use tamari which has a similar flavor.
Sesame Oil: This oil adds a nutty aroma and flavor. You can substitute with olive oil in a pinch, but you’ll miss that sesame richness. I wouldn’t skip it if you can help it!
Coleslaw Mix: The pre-packaged mix of cabbage and carrots is super convenient. If you can’t find it, you can chop fresh cabbage and carrots instead. You could also add other veggies like zucchini or bell pepper!
Sriracha Mayo: This sauce adds creaminess with just the right kick. If you want less heat, mix regular mayo with a touch of hot sauce, or use a chipotle mayo for a smoky flavor.
How Do I Cook the Pork Perfectly?
Cooking the pork evenly is crucial for great texture and taste. Here’s what to focus on:
- Use a large skillet or griddle for better heat distribution.
- Crank the heat to medium-high, which helps the meat brown nicely. Make sure to break the pork apart as it cooks.
- Once it’s no longer pink, add your soy sauce and seasoning to enhance the flavors.
By letting it cook until browned and fragrant, you’ll get the best flavor during the next steps!

Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Cook the Meat:
Start by heating a large skillet or your Blackstone griddle over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the ground pork (or chicken/turkey). Use a spatula to break it apart and cook until it’s browned and cooked through. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
2. Flavor it Up:
After the meat is browned, add the soy sauce, sesame oil, minced ginger, and minced garlic to the skillet. Stir everything together and let it cook for another 1-2 minutes until you can smell those lovely aromas!
3. Add the Veggies:
Time to bring in the colors! Add the coleslaw mix, diced onion, and diced bell pepper (if you’re using it) to the pan. Stir everything well so the veggies mix with the meat. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and bright.
4. Season and Finish:
Once the veggies are tender, season the mixture with salt and pepper to your liking. Toss in the sliced green onions and cook for an additional minute. It’s almost ready!
5. Serve and Enjoy:
Dish out the egg roll mixture into bowls. Drizzle some sriracha mayo on top (yum!) and sprinkle with sesame seeds and any reserved green onion for garnish. Enjoy your tasty and colorful meal!
Can I Use a Different Meat for This Recipe?
Absolutely! You can substitute the ground pork with ground chicken or turkey for a lighter option. Just make sure to adjust cooking times slightly since leaner meats may cook faster. Keep an eye on them to avoid drying out!
What If I Can’t Find Coleslaw Mix?
No worries! You can easily make your own by using shredded cabbage and grated carrots. Roughly 2 cups of shredded cabbage and 1 cup of grated carrots will work perfectly as a substitute. Feel free to add some chopped scallions for extra flavor!
How Do I Store Leftovers?
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply warm it in a skillet over medium heat until heated through, stirring occasionally to ensure everything warms evenly.
Can I Add More Vegetables?
Definitely! This recipe is super flexible. You can add diced mushrooms, zucchini, or even snap peas for added crunch and nutrition. Just be sure to adjust the cooking time slightly to ensure all veggies are tender yet still crisp.
