Eggroll in a bowl is a fun and tasty dish that brings all the great flavors of eggrolls without the fuss! With ground meat, cabbage, and soy sauce, it’s a hearty meal.
This recipe is quick to whip up on the Blackstone griddle, making cleanup a breeze! I love serving it with a sprinkle of sesame seeds. Trust me, it’s a real crowd-pleaser! 😊
Key Ingredients & Substitutions
Ground Pork or Beef: Ground pork offers a juicy flavor, but feel free to use ground beef, turkey, or even tofu for a lighter, vegetarian option. I’ve tried it with turkey, and it still tastes great!
Coleslaw Mix: This blend saves prep time. If you can’t find it, just shred cabbage and carrots separately. It adds a nice crunch!
Green Onions: These add freshness. If you don’t have them, try chives or regular onions, but adjust the quantities as they have a stronger flavor.
Fresh Ginger: Using fresh ginger gives a bright taste. If you’re out, ground ginger is a decent alternative—just use less since it’s more concentrated.
How Do I Make Sure the Meat is Cooked Just Right?
Cooking ground meat can be tricky, but here’s a simple way to ensure it’s done perfectly:
- Preheat the griddle to medium heat before adding the meat. This helps it brown nicely.
- Break it apart as you cook to ensure even cooking and browning.
- To check if the meat is done, look for no pink remaining and make sure it reaches an internal temperature of 160°F for pork and beef.
Don’t rush this step; a good brown creates flavor!
