How To Make It
Egg Roll In A Bowl is a quick and easy one-pot meal. Follow these 3 simple steps and you’ll have dinner on the table in no time.
- Brown the ground pork or chicken with garlic, onion, and ginger (see recipe below).
- Stir in broccoli slaw and add the remaining ingredients.
- Place in a serving bowl and sprinkle with sesame seeds and green onion.
For pure convenience, you can’t beat bagged broccoli slaw, but you can make your own too.
How To Make Broccoli Slaw
Most grocery stores now sell premade broccoli slaw. But keep in mind whenever buying fresh whole broccoli stems that you can make your own too. It’s a good habit to get into for anyone who wants to minimize waste and stretch their food budget.
For best results when making broccoli slaw, remove the tough peel that is near the cut end of the stalk and use only the tender interior.
- Cut the broccoli crown from the stalk and trim the end.
- Using a paring knife, carefully cut away the toughest peel, starting from the bottom and working toward the crown. The peel nearest the crown end can remain.
Grate, chop or julienne for use in a stir-fry, slaw or egg roll in a bowl.
What To Serve With It
Serve this delightful Asian stir fry with plain or fried rice, glass noodles or ramen. Punch it up by sprinkling with chopped peanuts or fried noodles to give it a little texture and crunch.

I used ground turkey and low sodium soy sauce. Also used shredded cabbage (like for slaw) as husband does not not broccoli slaw. It turned out wonderful and this will be made many times in the future.
Thank you for sharing Linda! Sounds amazing!
