This Easy Blackstone Egg Roll in a Bowl is a tasty twist on your favorite takeout! It’s packed with ground meat, fresh veggies, and yummy seasonings, all cooked in one pan—super simple!
You know it’s delicious when your family keeps asking for seconds! I love serving it warm over rice or enjoying it as is. Just make sure to keep some soy sauce handy for extra flavor!
Key Ingredients & Substitutions
Ground Pork: This recipe shines with ground pork, but feel free to use ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option. Both choices deliver great flavor and work well in this dish.
Coleslaw Mix: The pre-packaged coleslaw mix is super convenient and adds a nice crunch. If you can’t find it, you can use shredded cabbage and grated carrots instead, or even stir in some bell peppers for extra color.
Ginger: Fresh ginger adds a zing to your dish! If you don’t have fresh, ground ginger is a fine substitute. Just remember that ground ginger is more concentrated, so use about half the amount.
Soy Sauce: For a gluten-free version, swap regular soy sauce for tamari. You can also use coconut aminos for a lighter and slightly sweeter flavor.
How Do I Ensure My Cabbage Stays Crisp?
Cooking cabbage just right is key to keeping that crunch! Start by adding it after the meat and start stirring it around quickly. Here are some tips to keep it crisp:
- Make sure your heat is high enough so the cabbage cooks quickly.
- Stir-fry it for just a few minutes. You want it tender but not mushy.
- Adding the soy sauce and sesame oil towards the end helps keep it fresh without steaming it.
Remember, a quick cook is the secret to preserving crunch! Enjoy your cooking!

Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Make the Spicy Mayo Sauce:

2. Cook the Meat:
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or on your Blackstone griddle over medium-high heat. Add the ground pork (or turkey/chicken) to the pan. Cook, breaking it apart with a spatula, until it’s browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes.
