This deconstructed egg roll bowl captures the savory, slightly sweet filling of a traditional egg roll without the deep-fried wrapper. It comes together faster than takeout delivery.
Chinese cooking techniques — high heat, quick movement, and precise timing — produce flavors that no other method can match. This recipe captures that magic.
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground pork
- 4 cups shredded green cabbage
- 2 tbsp coconut aminos or soy sauce
- 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
- 3 green onions, sliced
Instructions
- 1
Brown ground pork in a large skillet over medium-high heat, breaking into crumbles, for 6-7 minutes.
- 2
Add grated ginger and cook 30 seconds until fragrant.
- 3
Add shredded cabbage and coconut aminos. Stir-fry 4-5 minutes until cabbage is slightly wilted but still crunchy.
- 4
Remove from heat and drizzle with toasted sesame oil. Toss to combine.
- 5
Divide among bowls and top with sliced green onions. Serve with sriracha if desired.

Tips & Storage
Pro Tips
Use coconut aminos instead of soy sauce for a soy-free, paleo-friendly version.
Add a drizzle of rice vinegar for extra tang that mimics the dipping sauce flavor.
Let the protein rest for 5-10 minutes after cooking to allow the juices to redistribute for maximum tenderness.
Season each component individually rather than seasoning at the end — this builds deeper, more complex flavor throughout.
Storage
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. For longer storage, freeze individual portions in freezer-safe containers for up to 3 months. Label with the date and recipe name.
Reheating
Reheat in a skillet over medium heat for 3-4 minutes, adding a splash of water if needed.
