Blackstone Egg Roll In A Bowl

Key Ingredients & Substitutions

Ground Pork or Chicken: I love using ground pork for its rich flavor, but ground chicken works just as well if you prefer a leaner option. If you’re looking for a plant-based choice, try crumbled tempeh or mushrooms for a similar texture.

Coleslaw Mix: This mixture of shredded cabbage and carrots gives a nice crunch. If you can’t find coleslaw mix, you can chop your own cabbage and carrots. You can also experiment with other veggies like bell peppers or snap peas for a colorful twist.

Soy Sauce: While I prefer regular soy sauce for its classic flavor, low-sodium soy sauce is great for reducing salt intake. Tamari is a perfect gluten-free substitute if that’s a concern.

Sesame Oil: This oil adds a lovely toasted flavor. If you don’t have it, you can use vegetable oil, but add a sprinkle of sesame seeds to make up for it. Peanut oil is another option that adds a nice nutty taste.

Mayonnaise and Sriracha: For those wanting a healthier topping, Greek yogurt can substitute for mayonnaise. You can also adjust the heat level by adding more or less sriracha or trying a different hot sauce that you love.

How Do I Cook the Meat Perfectly?

Cooking the meat properly is key to this dish. Here’s how to ensure it’s perfectly browned and flavorful:

• Heat your skillet or griddle on medium-high. Add sesame oil just before the meat to keep it from burning.
• Add ground pork or chicken and let it cook undisturbed for a couple of minutes. This helps it brown well.
• Use a spatula to break it apart as it cooks, making sure it is evenly browned, about 5-7 minutes.

Getting that golden color adds amazing flavor to the dish, so don’t rush the browning step! Enjoy your cooking!

Can I Use Ground Beef or Turkey Instead of Pork or Chicken?

Absolutely! Ground beef or turkey works great in this recipe. Just adjust the cooking time slightly—it may take a few extra minutes to cook through, especially if using a lean variety.

What Can I Substitute for Soy Sauce?

If you need a gluten-free option, tamari is a perfect substitute for soy sauce. For a lower sodium version, look for low-sodium soy sauce. Coconut aminos are another great alternative with a slightly milder flavor.

How Do I Store Leftovers?

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When reheating, add a splash of soy sauce or a little sesame oil to keep it flavorful!

Can I Make This Recipe Vegetarian?

Yes, you can easily make this dish vegetarian by substituting the ground meat with crumbled tofu or tempeh. Just make sure to cook it until it’s nicely browned for added texture and flavor!
