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.

Trader Joes Egg Roll Bowl Recipe Ingredients

• 1 lb ground pork
• 14 oz bag Trader Joe’s shredded green and red cabbage
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil
• 2 tsp minced garlic
• 1 tsp grated fresh ginger
• 2 green onions, sliced

How To Make Trader Joes Egg Roll Bowl Recipe

1. 1. Brown the meat: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground pork for 5-7 minutes until fully browned.
2. 2. Add aromatics: Stir in the garlic and ginger, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant.
3. 3. Wilt the cabbage: Add the shredded cabbage mix and cook for 3-4 minutes until it softens but holds a crunch.
4. 4. Season the bowl: Pour in the soy sauce and toasted sesame oil, tossing everything for 2 minutes to coat.
5. 5. Garnish and serve: Remove from heat and top with sliced green onions before serving immediately.

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.
