Trader Joes Egg Roll Bowl Recipe

This crunchy savory Trader Joes Egg Roll Bowl Recipe is made with ground pork, shredded cabbage, and soy sauce, ready in 20 minutes. The sizzling pork mixes into the crisp cabbage for a highly satisfying bite. I rely on this for busy weeknights when I need something fast.

Better Than Takeaway

I used to spend a fortune ordering Chinese takeout just to get my egg roll fix. Making this deconstructed version at home turned out to be faster and cheaper.

My biggest surprise was how much flavor you get by using pre-shredded cabbage and simple pantry sauces. I learned that letting the pork brown nicely before adding the vegetables is key to deep flavor.

Recipe Tips

  • Don’t overcook the cabbage: Keep the cooking time short so the vegetables retain their signature egg roll crunch.
  • Drain the fat: If your pork releases too much grease, spoon most of it out before adding the vegetables.
  • Use high heat: A hot pan helps fry the ingredients rather than steaming them.

What To Serve With Egg Roll Bowls

Serve these bowls with steamed jasmine rice or cauliflower rice to soak up the savory sauce. A drizzle of sriracha mayo also adds a nice creamy heat on top.

How To Store

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave or a skillet until warm. Freezing is not recommended as the cabbage will become mushy.

FAQs

  • Can I use ground beef? Yes, ground beef, chicken, or turkey work perfectly in this dish.
  • Is this gluten-free? Yes, as long as you use coconut aminos or a certified gluten-free tamari instead of regular soy sauce.
  • Can I add an egg? You can push the mixture to the side of your pan and scramble an egg right in the skillet.
