Ingredients
Scale
For the Egg Roll Bowl
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 6 green onions, sliced (white and green parts separated)
- ½ cup diced red onion (optional)
- 5 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 pound ground pork
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- 1 (8-ounce) can water chestnuts, chopped (optional)
- 1 tablespoon sriracha (or hot sauce)
- 1 (14-ounce) bag coleslaw mix
- 3 tablespoons coconut aminos
- 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
- ⅛–¼ teaspoon freshly cracked white or black pepper
- Salt, to taste
For the Creamy Chili Sauce
- ¼ cup mayonnaise (store-bought or homemade)
- 1–2 tablespoons sriracha (or hot sauce)
- 1 large pinch salt
For Garnish
- Sliced green parts of green onions (reserved)
- Black sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
- Heat the Skillet: Place a large skillet over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons of sesame oil and swirl to coat the surface. Heat the oil until it becomes hot and shimmery.
- Sauté Aromatics: Add the white parts of the green onions, diced red onion (if using), and minced garlic to the skillet. Stir frequently and sauté until the onions start to soften, about 5 minutes.
- Cook the Pork: Add the ground pork, grated fresh ginger, chopped water chestnuts (if using), and 1 tablespoon sriracha to the skillet. Cook, stirring frequently, breaking up the pork until it is browned and cooked through, approximately 7 to 10 minutes.
- Add Coleslaw and Seasonings: Stir in the coleslaw mix, coconut aminos, rice wine vinegar, cracked pepper, and salt. Mix thoroughly to combine all flavors.
- Cook Until Tender: Continue cooking the mixture, stirring regularly, until the cabbage is tender and slightly wilted, about 5 minutes more.
- Prepare Creamy Chili Sauce: In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, 1-2 tablespoons sriracha, and a pinch of salt. Stir well until fully incorporated. Set aside.
- Serve: Divide the egg roll mixture evenly into four serving bowls.
- Drizzle Sauce: Transfer the creamy chili sauce into a sandwich bag, snip off one corner, and drizzle the sauce over each bowl.
- Garnish: Sprinkle the reserved green parts of the green onions and black sesame seeds on top of each bowl.
- Enjoy Immediately: Serve right away for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Red onion is optional but adds sweetness and depth; you can omit if preferred.
- Water chestnuts add crunch but can be omitted for a softer texture.
- Sriracha can be adjusted to your preferred heat level or replaced with any hot sauce you like.
- Coconut aminos are a gluten-free alternative to soy sauce; regular soy sauce can be substituted.
- The creamy chili sauce can be customized by adjusting the sriracha for spiciness.
