Egg Roll in a Bowl

The story

This deconstructed egg roll went mega-viral in the US for obvious reasons — a bag of coleslaw mix, ground pork, and the classic ginger-garlic-soy seasoning, done in one pan with no wrappers and no frying. It is low-carb by accident and meal-prepped by millions.

Ingredients (6 + pantry staples)

• Ground pork — 12 oz / 350 g
• Coleslaw mix (shredded cabbage & carrot) — 1 bag (14 oz / 400 g)
• Garlic — 3 cloves, minced
• Ginger — 1 tbsp, grated
• Soy sauce — 2 tbsp
• Toasted sesame oil — 1 tsp

Pantry staples used (don't count toward the 6): cooking oil, white pepper. Not stocked yet? See the pantry page.

Steps

1. Brown the pork in a hot pan, breaking it up, 5 minutes.
2. Garlic and ginger for 1 minute.
3. Coleslaw mix in; toss-fry 3–4 minutes until just wilted.
4. Soy sauce and sesame oil; toss and serve — over rice if you want carbs.

Swaps

Ground chicken or turkey work. A drizzle of chili crisp makes it Sichuan-ish; a fried egg on top makes it breakfast.
