Key Ingredients & Substitutions
Ground Pork: This is a fantastic base for flavor, but ground turkey or chicken can work well too if you prefer leaner meats. Choose turkey for a lighter option but keep an eye on cooking time as it may cook faster.
Coleslaw Mix: A pre-packaged coleslaw mix saves time. If you can’t find it, shred your own cabbage and carrots. You can also use other veggies like bell peppers or snap peas for variety!
Garlic & Ginger: Fresh minced garlic and ginger give this dish its vibrant flavor, but if you’re in a pinch, you can use garlic powder and ground ginger. Just remember to adjust the amounts since they’re more concentrated.
Soy Sauce: For a gluten-free version, opt for tamari or coconut aminos. This will still provide that lovely umami flavor we love in Asian dishes!
How Do I Get My Ground Meat Perfectly Cooked?
Getting your ground meat cooked just right makes a huge difference in your dish. Here are some easy steps to follow:
- Preheat your griddle to medium-high for even cooking.
- Add the ground meat and break it apart with a spatula. This prevents it from clumping together.
- Cook until it’s browned—about 5-7 minutes—making sure it’s fully cooked through.
- Season with salt and pepper to enhance its flavor as it cooks.
By following these steps, your meat will have a wonderful texture and flavor that pairs perfectly with all the veggies! Enjoy making your Eggroll In A Bowl!

How Much Time Will You Need?
This recipe takes about 15 minutes to prepare and another 15 minutes to cook. So, in about 30 minutes, you’ll have a delicious meal ready to enjoy!
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Preheat the Griddle:
Start by preheating your Blackstone griddle to medium-high heat. You want it nice and hot to cook the ingredients quickly and evenly.
2. Cook the Ground Meat:
Add the ground pork to the hot griddle. Use a spatula to break it apart while cooking. Brown it thoroughly for about 5-7 minutes. As the meat cooks, season it with salt and pepper to enhance the flavor.
3. Sauté the Aromatics:
Once the pork is cooked, push it to one side of the griddle. Drizzle a bit of sesame oil on the empty side. Then, add the minced garlic and ginger and sauté them for about 30 seconds until they become fragrant. Be careful not to burn them!
4. Combine Meat and Aromatics:
Now, bring the cooked ground pork back into the mix with the garlic and ginger. Stir it all together so the flavors blend nicely.
5. Add Vegetables:
Next, add the coleslaw mix and julienned carrots to the griddle. Stir everything well to combine. Drizzle the soy sauce and the remaining sesame oil over the mixture, then continue to stir for about 5-7 minutes. You want the vegetables to be slightly tender but still have a nice crunch!
6. Finish with Green Onions:
Finally, stir in the sliced green onions and cook for an additional minute. This adds a lovely fresh flavor to your dish.
7. Add Heat (Optional):
If you’d like some spice, sprinkle red pepper flakes over the mixture and toss everything together. Adjust to your taste!
8. Serve and Enjoy:
Serve your hot Eggroll In A Bowl garnished with sesame seeds and extra green onions if you desire. Enjoy this delightful dish!
Can I Substitute the Ground Pork?
Absolutely! You can use ground turkey or chicken instead of ground pork for a leaner option. Just keep in mind that ground poultry may cook faster, so adjust your cooking time slightly and ensure it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
How Do I Store Leftovers?
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, gently warm them on the griddle or in the microwave, stirring occasionally to ensure even heating. You may want to add a splash of soy sauce or sesame oil to refresh the flavors.
Can I Use Fresh Vegetables Instead of Coleslaw Mix?
Yes, you can use fresh vegetables! Just chop your cabbage and carrots into thin strips or small pieces. You can also add other veggies like bell peppers or snap peas for extra crunch and flavor. Just be sure to adjust the cooking time based on the vegetables you use!
