How to Make Egg Roll Bowls
1. Cook the Meat
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned and no longer pink, about 6–8 minutes. Don’t break it up too fine—leave some juicy chunks for better texture.
2. Add Aromatics
Stir in the minced garlic, ground ginger, garlic powder, onion powder, and red pepper flakes. Sauté for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
3. Sauté the Veggies
Toss in the diced onion, coleslaw mix, and shredded carrots. Cook for 3–4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender-crisp. Don’t overcook—you want that crunch!
4. Finish with Sauce
Pour in soy sauce and sesame oil. Stir to combine, letting the flavors soak in for another minute. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
5. Garnish and Serve
Top with chopped green onions and sesame seeds. Serve hot straight from the skillet or spoon into bowls for a satisfying, deconstructed egg roll experience.

- Check your supermarket for pre-shredded carrots to save yourself some time.
- You can bring out the flavor of the spices by rubbing them together in your palms before adding them to the pan. You can also use a mortar and pestle.
