This egg roll bowl recipe captures the crispy texture and bold flavors in a fraction of the time. Ready-made wonton wrappers are baked to a golden crisp, while ground pork is seasoned with ginger, garlic, soy sauce, vinegar, and sriracha for a quick stovetop cook. Pre-shredded coleslaw and carrots simplify veggie prep, making this dish both nutritious and time-efficient. It’s a deconstructed egg roll experience topped with crunchy wonton strips that will leave you craving seconds.
Transform this dish into a fried rice-inspired meal by mixing in cooked rice with the coleslaw and carrots. For an eggy twist, create a space in the center of the pan, crack an egg into it, scramble, and cook until set. Then, blend the egg into the pork mixture for added richness.
Ingredients
-
10 wonton wrappers
-
2 Tbsp toasted sesame oil, divided
-
1 lb. ground pork
-
1 1/2 Tbsp. finely chopped garlic (from about 5 cloves)
-
2 tsp. grated fresh ginger (from a 1-in. piece)
-
1/4 cup soy sauce
-
2 Tbsp rice vinegar
-
1 Tbsp sriracha
-
10 cups coleslaw (from a 10-oz. pkg.)
-
1 cup matchstick carrots (from a 10-oz. pkg.)
-
Sliced scallions, for garnish (optional)
Directions
Preheat oven and prepare baking sheet
Set your oven to 400°F. Cover a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Lightly coat both sides of the wonton wrappers with 1 tablespoon of oil. Slice the wrappers into 1/2-inch-wide strips and arrange them on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake wontons
Bake the wontons until they turn a light golden brown, approximately 5 minutes. Allow them to cool fully on the baking sheet for about 10 minutes.
Cook pork until browned
In the meantime, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork and cook, breaking it apart occasionally, until it’s browned, roughly 5 minutes.
Cook garlic and ginger; add sauce and simmer
Add garlic and ginger to the pork in the skillet; cook, stirring continuously, until aromatic, about 30 seconds. Pour in soy sauce, vinegar, and sriracha; cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and coats the pork, approximately 2 minutes.
Cook veggies and serve
Mix in coleslaw and carrots; cook, stirring constantly, until the vegetables are tender yet crisp, 1 to 2 minutes. Serve garnished with scallions (if desired) and crispy wonton strips.
