This fun twist on egg rolls is packed with tasty veggies, juicy ground meat, and all the yummy flavors you love. Plus, it’s super quick to make and skips the frying mess!
Key Ingredients & Substitutions
Ground Pork or Chicken: This is the main protein in the dish. Ground turkey or beef can be used as alternatives if you prefer. Personally, I find that ground chicken has a milder flavor that pairs well with the spices.
Coleslaw Mix: This mix adds crunch and flavor. If you can’t find it, you can use shredded cabbage and carrots separately. You can also mix in bell peppers for a little color and sweetness!
Green Onions: They enhance the overall flavor and presentation. If you’re out of green onions, you can use diced onions or shallots. They might offer a slightly different taste but will still work well!
Soy Sauce: A key ingredient that adds umami. For a gluten-free option, use tamari or coconut aminos. I enjoy a low-sodium soy sauce to keep it light without losing flavor.
Sriracha Sauce: This is optional for heat. If you want a milder dish, you can skip it or replace it with a dash of chili powder or red pepper flakes.
How Do You Cook Ground Meat for Best Flavor?
Cooking the meat properly is the foundation of this dish. You want it browned and flavorful without drying it out. Here’s how to do it perfectly:
- Start by heating your skillet over medium-high heat. This helps the meat brown nicely.
- Add the ground meat and use a spatula to break it into smaller pieces. Keep stirring for even cooking.
- Cook it until no pink remains, usually about 5-7 minutes, then add garlic and ginger for extra aroma!
Watching the meat closely ensures you achieve that great brown color without burning it. Enjoy the great flavors that develop this way!

Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Cook the Meat:
Start by heating a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. If you’re using a Blackstone griddle, make sure to preheat it following the manufacturer’s instructions. Add the ground pork or chicken to the skillet and cook, breaking it up with a spatula, for about 5-7 minutes until it’s browned and fully cooked.
2. Add Aromatics:
Once the meat is cooked, stir in the minced garlic and minced ginger. Let it cook for another minute until everything is fragrant and delightful!
3. Toss in the Veggies:
Now, add the coleslaw mix to the pan. Toss it well with the meat mixture and let it cook for about 3-4 minutes, or until the cabbage is just wilted. This adds a nice crunch and color to your dish!
4. Prepare the Sauce:
In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and sriracha sauce (if you want some heat!). Pour this tasty sauce over your meat and veggie mixture, stirring well to make sure everything is coated.
5. Finishing Touches:
Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Mix it all together to combine those nutty flavors.
6. Serve and Garnish:
Serve your egg roll in a bowl hot! Drizzle the shredded cheese right over the top until it melts. Finish by garnishing with extra chopped green onions and a sprinkle of black sesame seeds for an extra pop!

Can I Use Ground Turkey Instead of Pork or Chicken?
Absolutely! Ground turkey is a great leaner alternative. Just be mindful that it can sometimes be drier than pork or chicken, so you may want to add a little extra sesame oil or soy sauce to keep it moist.
What Can I Use Instead of Coleslaw Mix?
If you don’t have coleslaw mix on hand, you can use thinly sliced cabbage and carrots instead. For a twist, try adding bell peppers or snap peas for extra crunch and flavor!
How to Store Leftovers
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply warm it up in a skillet over medium heat until heated through, adding a splash of water if needed to keep it moist.
