Ingredients needed for your Egg Roll Bowl
- 93% Lean Ground Chicken any ground meat can be used here such as ground turkey or pork.
- Soy Sauce: Use reduced-sodium to keep the salt in check or coconut aminos for a gluten-free option.
- Scallions: Slice them and separate the dark green and light green/white parts. You’ll use the dark green for garnish.
- Aromatics: Minced garlic and fresh ginger
- Slaw Mix in a package is a simple way to add a bunch of veggies without any prep work. You can use a cabbage or broccoli slaw.
- Baby Bok Choy provides vitamins A, C, and K.
- Genuine Mirin: You can use rice wine or substitute dry sherry.
- Sesame Oil: gives it a toasty aroma
- White Rice or Fried Rice: I have a delicious healthy fried rice recipe that works great with this egg roll bowl.
How to Prepare Egg Roll in a Bowl Recipe
1: In a large non stick skillet or Wok, cook the chicken over medium-high with ½ tablespoon of the soy sauce until browned and cooked through, breaking it up into smaller pieces as it cooks, about 5 minutes.
2: Add the chopped scallions, garlic and ginger, stir well and cook until soft, 2-3 minutes. Add the slaw and the chopped bok choy and pour the remaining 2 ½ tablespoons of soy sauce, Mirin and sesame oil and cook stirring occasionally until the veggies are wilted, but still crunchy, about 4 minutes.
3: Remove from heat and finish with some additional chopped scallions, Mike's Hot Honey and serve over your favorite rice or make stuffed lettuce wraps.

Weight Watcher Friendly Egg Roll in a Bowl FAQ's
Absolutely! This recipe is perfect for meal prep. Store portions in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 4 days. It reheats beautifully for a quick, healthy lunch or dinner the next day.
To keep it low-carb or keto, skip the white or brown rice and serve it with cauliflower rice instead. Also, use a keto-friendly soy sauce alternative if needed!
Definitely! Ground turkey, pork, beef, or even crumbled tofu or shrimp work great. It’s super easy to customize depending on what you have on hand.
The trick is not to overcook them. Stir-fry the coleslaw mix or cabbage just until it’s tender-crisp—usually about 5–7 minutes. You want it to keep some crunch, just like in a traditional egg roll.
A sprinkle of sesame seeds, crispy wonton strips, chopped green onions, or even a drizzle of sriracha or spicy mayo can take it to the next level! Add whatever you love for extra flavor and texture.
10 Expert Tips for the Best Chicken Egg Roll in a Bowl (Meal Prep, Storage & Flavor Boosts!)
- 1. Use Pre-Shredded Coleslaw Mix
- Save time by grabbing a bag of pre-shredded coleslaw mix—it cuts down on prep and still gives you that classic egg roll crunch.
- 2. Cook the Protein First
- Always start by browning your ground chicken (or turkey, tofu, etc.) before adding veggies. This builds flavor and ensures everything cooks evenly.
- 3. Don’t Overcrowd the Skillet
- Use a large skillet or wok to prevent steaming. Overcrowding can make the veggies soggy instead of stir-fried and crisp.
- 4. Add Aromatics Early
- Sauté garlic and fresh ginger right after the meat is browned to let those flavors infuse the entire dish.
- 5. Customize Your Veggies
- In addition to cabbage or coleslaw mix, try adding bell peppers, shredded carrots, snap peas, or even bok choy for extra color, crunch, and nutrients.
- 6. Double It for Meal Prep
- Make a double batch and portion it into containers for easy grab-and-go lunches. It reheats well and the flavors deepen overnight!
- 7. Storage Tip
- Store in the fridge for up to 4 days in airtight containers. Reheat in the microwave or on the stove with a splash of water or soy sauce to revive it.
- 8. Freeze the Base (Without Toppings)
- Freeze the cooked base (meat and veggies) for up to 2 months. Just skip the toppings like crispy wontons or sesame seeds until serving time.
- 9. Make It a Full Meal
- Serve over cauliflower rice, brown rice, or quinoa for a more filling dinner. You can also wrap it in lettuce leaves for a fun low-carb version!
- 10. Add Crunch Last
- Garnish with crispy wonton strips, sesame seeds, or green onions right before serving so they stay fresh and crunchy—not soggy.
