Tips & Tricks For Easy Eggroll in a Bowl
- Prep Ingredients in Advance: Chop all your vegetables and have your protein (such as ground pork or chicken) ready before you start cooking. This will make the cooking process smoother and quicker.
- Adjust Seasonings to Taste: Taste and adjust the seasonings (such as soy sauce, ginger, and rice vinegar) according to your preference. You can always add more later if needed.
- Don’t Overcook the Vegetables: Cook the vegetables until they are just tender. Overcooking can result in mushy vegetables, which can affect the texture and flavor of the dish.
- Customize Your Ingredients: Feel free to customize the ingredients based on your preferences and dietary restrictions. You can add extra vegetables, swap out the protein, or adjust the seasonings to suit your taste.
- Use a Large Skillet or Wok: A large skillet or wok provides ample space for cooking and tossing the ingredients without overcrowding, ensuring even cooking.
- Cook in Batches: If you’re making a large batch of Egg Roll in a Bowl, consider cooking the ingredients in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan, which can lead to uneven cooking.
- Add Texture with Toppings: Enhance the texture and flavor of your Egg Roll in a Bowl by adding toppings such as toasted sesame seeds, chopped peanuts or cashews, crispy wonton strips, or sliced avocado.
- Meal Prep Friendly: Egg Roll in a Bowl is great for meal prep. You can make a large batch ahead of time and portion it out for easy grab-and-go lunches or dinners throughout the week.
- Reheat Properly: When reheating leftovers, use a skillet or microwave to warm them up gently. Avoid overheating, as this can cause the vegetables to become mushy.
- Experiment with Sauces: Get creative with your sauces! Try different variations such as adding hoisin sauce, chili garlic sauce, or oyster sauce for extra flavor and complexity.

Sounds delicious. Can I make this the day before?
So simply and delicious!
When do you use the sesame oil?
I put it in with the pork and cooked it
Hi! This looks amazing! I’m just curious, what’s the serving size?
@Megan, That’s a great and elusive question. Me and Mrs. Jones were trying to figure out how a yield of 6 and serving size of 2 works out as well. Probably debated the possible mistake/ misprint so much we burned extra calories brainstorming, so that’s a win.
Can you use pork sausage (in the roll) in place of ground pork if that’s what you have on hand?
Yes 😊
This one is a solid keeper! Simple, quick. healthy and inexpensive!!
We’ve made this a couple of times and it’s always a hit.
Thank you very much for this one.
I have made this recipe five times now, and my family loves it!! I have made it with ground pork, ground chicken and ground turkey and all three are very tasty!!
I have one critique, In the ingredients you have listed sesame oil but in the directions you do not include the sesame oil. So I put the sesame oil in right after the onions and garlic mix it around and stir for about another minute then add the soy, ginger and rice vinegar.
One addition that I add is that I fry wonton wrappers. I cut them in half and fry them to a golden brown put them on a paper towel and salt them. This is a definite plus for the egg roll bowls!!
Thank you so very much for sharing this recipe I will probably put it in my lifelong cookbook!! Your the BEST!!
Thanks so much for the comment 😊
@Katie R – Colorado,
In the grocery by the salad toppings, I buy the packaged Wonton Strips for topping. Saves the step of having to fry them.
@Lois, What a great idea!! Thank you for sharing that. I will look into those the next time I shop for this meal!! 🤗
This is one of my favorite recipes. I use the left overs to make air fried egg rolls. So simple, easy and delicious.
Top with Sweet and Sour sauce & Wonton strips!
Fabulous!!!
