Why This Egg Roll Bowl Works
If you have my book, Fast and Slow, I have an egg roll bowl recipe with pork. But since I always buy ground chicken, I wanted a chicken variation and have been whipping this one up quite often.

Made it for the first time today.
I really like it. I think thought it needs a little extra of something. Maybe ginger, rice wine. Next time I make it play around with the flavors
Can this mixture be frozen except maybe adding the green onions?
Yes, you can freeze for up to 3 months.
Made this tonight with ground turkey. Quick to make with coleslaw mix. Very tasty.
Great recipe that is very healthy & tasty. Subbed rice vinegar for rice wine & shredded carrots for bok choy. Mushrooms or bell peppers are great add ins! 1 WW pt without rice or use riced cauliflower.
Another home run!!! This was fabulous! The combination was so delicious and it was even better the next day. Easy one-skillet meal with simple ingredients! Thank you!
Very tasty, crunchy veggies, I felt it needed a bit more seasoning. Otherwise, delicious
have tried with ground chicken, turkey and beef – and with whatever slaw is available at the grocery store. It is always a hit!
thinking of trying it with tofu, anyone try that?
Fast, easy and really delicious
Delicious and easy weeknight dinner! I used a bag of broccoli slaw. I did add a little more low sodium soy sauce when plated. The leftovers will make a great lunch!
Perfect!
This was overall a good recipe and made easy by grating the carrots and shredding the cabbage in my food processor. I ended up adding more low sodium soy sauce and some sesame oil when serving this dish because it was a tiny bit bland for my taste.
Absolutely delicious! And so quick and easy to make. I added Sriracha for a little spice – it was fantastic! This will be in our regular rotation.
Always delicious. Sometimes I use the coleslaw mix, sometimes I chop. It’s great!
Excelente! I really enjoyed this recipe. I used broccoli slaw and accidentally put extra sesame oil and mirin in as I don’t have a 1/2 tbsp measure. Quick and fun to make!
Made this today and it was so easy using pre-cut coleslaw and and bok choy. Delicious and easy I will make it again. I froze portions to take away next week campervaning 😀 in Mallacoota, Victoria, Australia. Thanks for a great recipe.
I want to try this with small shrimp. Can’t have soy, any suggestions for a substitute?
Coconut Aminos! 🙂
I made this with 96% lean ground beef instead of chicken and it was delicious! I had tried a similar recipe and thought it was just okay. But this recipe knocked it out of the park! The flavors are amazing.
Great for work lunches! Also works well to dump any vegetables I have left in the fridge before they go bad. Great with broccoli and red pepper added, I usually have it on hand and need to use it up so in it goes
Very easy to make and full of flavor! I did slightly increase the amount of ginger and soy sauce. The bok choy is the perfect crunch and this recipe really tastes like all the goodness inside an egg roll! A hit with my picky teens as well.
♥
I love this recipe! It’s so much quicker and easier than a stir fry and so yummy! My entire family loves it. And it’s perfect for a weeknight. I usually add snap peas and mushrooms too; the more veggies the better!
Is there nutritional info without the rice
300-310kcal per serving without the rice.
Is there eggs in this?
It was so easy to make- less than 30 min. I used slaw mix that cut the prep down to almost nothing.
Very adaptable also-I used ground turkey because it was organic and 93%, I only had teriyaki sauce and used that in lieu of gf soy sauce, didn’t have mirin or sherry or bok choy and it still was a delicious, filling lunch. I will definitely be making this again!!!
Hi there!
Making this tonight. Do the macros include the rice mentioned in the recipe? If so, how much rice per serving? We haven’t had a recipe we haven’t loved from you.
Thank you! Yes rice is included- 2/3 cup!
Been doing a similar recipe without the rice. Sometimes riced cauliflower. But generally just the egg roll bowl without a side is plenty for me and I use Turkey breakfast sausage. The calories are the same when I deduct calories for your 2/3 cup serving of white rice. So it’s nice to know I can try this one (love bok choy!) without a hitch!
I’ve been following your high protein meal plans as I am meal prepping a bit more. This recipe was delicious and filling! I made it for dinner first and my husband loved it too so I had to keep him away from the 3rd serving so I could take for lunch the next day! Will be prepping it for lunch bowls and not sharing this time, lol!
I made this for lunch today, why I haven’t I tried this recipe yet is beyond me!!! Super flavor profile, I did not find it bland at all. Terrific texture and quite filling. I am following one of your weekly high protein meal plans, and this dish is a winner with 36.5 g of protein in it. Thank you Gina, looking forward to your new cookbook too😊👍🏻
Thanks Daphne! Glad you enjoyed it!
it was yummy and fast
Delicious! My grocery didn’t have baby bok choy so I just bought a head of regular bok choy. I used trader Joe’s cruciferous crunch collection, trader Joe’s frozen cube of ginger, 3 garlic cloves and garnished with green onion big, a drizzle of soy sauce and srichachi and it was absolutely delicious
Delicious and so easy to make!
This is SO good. Nutritious, very easy, and extremely tasty. I didn’t even use the bok choy because I couldn’t find any, so we just did without. I used the slaw mix with radishes, broccoli, carrots, etc. We added a drizzle of yum-yum sauce on top and it was heaven!
Absolutely delicious. It literally took me 15 minutes to make it. While the chicken cooked, I prepared the few ingredients that needed to be chopped. It’s packed with flavor and perfect with scrambled eggs in the morning for a post workout meal. Love it!
This was a fantastic recipe! Really quick to prepare, and the flavor is outstanding.
Thank you!
This recipe is a staple in my house. The flavor is great and the bok choy is the addition that sets this recipe apart from others. Such an easy recipe!
Very bland even after adding extra garlic. We added hot mustard and it made it much better.
Try adding sriracha, chili flakes, or a drizzle of chili crisp. You could also mix in fish sauce or hoisin sauce. These suggestions are already noted in the recipe above.
First time making this tonight. It is a hit. Love versatile recipes that allows you to switch ingredients. Used lean ground beef and added a zucchini to use it up. Thanks Gina, for another easy recipe!
I’ve made this once a week for the past month. We love it. 10/10 ❤️
I’m so glad!
So easy and delicious! I had to play around with what I had, but it made it easier. I did not have ground chicken, so I used lean ground beef. I used one bag of kale broccoli slaw and one bag of cabbage carrot slaw. I also added some Hoisin Sauce. Delicious!
Great recipe , had to add 1 tsp oil when cooking chicken (I think I used ground chicken breast so it was a bit dry)
I have been following you for years Gina! Today it was a pleasure to cook this for my older parents who are not eating a lot of fresh vegetables and too much frozen food. I got a lot of “mmms” and “this is good!” Here’s to influencing some clean eating!
Thanks Allison!
Delicious and easy! I subbed baby spinach for bok choy bc my grocery store was out and it was great. I liked that not only was I upping my protein but also my veggie intake in a tasty way
Delicious. Nice quick meal that can be cheap and filling. I used turkey instead of chicken since that’s what I had on hand. Wow this recipe was good. It’ll go into my curation of staple recipes.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Delicious and so easy!
This was delicious, quick and easy. I was able to meal prep 4 containers in about 15 minutes. I also liked that the ingredients were mostly pantry staples and items I already had on hand. I did add a bit of Sambal Oelek for a slight kick.
Delicious and so fast to make! This will be great as a meal to teach my teenage boys to make on their own!
Made this for meal prep. Absolutely delicious! I will definitely make it for dinner also. Quick, easy, tasty! Thanks for yet another great recipe, Gina!
Is the 5 points is for the egg roll stuffing only or it is for the rice too? Thank
In a previous comment she said it includes the rice. I think it would come to 0 points without it!
I had high hopes for this – I think the concept is great. Unfortunately I found the taste to be very flat. It required some sweet soy and lime as well as some added sriracha or sweet chili. We also added peanuts or sesame seeds.
Loved this! My mom said “I could eat this every night.”
Can you use fresh ginger?
I made this for lunch today. I have tried many egg roll bowl recipes, but the combination of ingredients have made this one by far my favorite.
Thanks Kathleen!
PHENOMENAL!! I had trouble sharing with the rest of the family! Made it on Monday and again on Wednesday lol DELICIOUS! Flavorful, light, filling, and different! Super simple, too!
Delicious and easy dinner! I love mushrooms so I added sliced oyster mushrooms and some baby corn. Drizzled with some sriracha and it is chef’s kiss. Thank you, Gina!
Easy and delicious! Perfect weeknight meal the whole family enjoyed. We added a little kimchi for a kick.
This is fantastic and so filling for 5 points, I’ve made it multiple times already!
Tried this out yesterday. Definitely a keeper! Will be perfect on those hot summer days. Sprinkled the top with Trader Joe’s sweet chile sauce. Delicious!
I added two eggs for some extra protein which was a hit, and I’m glad I read the reviews first because I added more garlic & ginger, and I almost doubled the proportions of sauce (except I replaced one tbsp of soy sauce with one tbsp of oyster sauce for a little more flavour). Also added chili flakes! Will make again. Everyone loved it but I do think it is a very tweakable recipe!
We loved this recipe although I may double the sauce and increase the garlic and ginger next time. I used the broccoli slaw and it had a great crunch. So fast and easy for a weeknight! Will definitely make again!
I found it very bland. Had to add a lot more soy sauce and some hot sauce.
I just came here to say that. With soy sauce and a little bit of mirin being the only real flavoring, I also found it quite bland. I will definitely add some hot sauce. Any other suggestion for adding flavor/sauce without a lot of sugar, sodium or calories?
Shame because everything else I’ve made from here is amazing.
very tasty! I added some peanuts and a squeeze of lime! easy, quick and delish!
One of the easiest dinner recipes yet! I used fresh ginger, minced it and boy was this yummy and easy
Great recipe
Easy and delicious, my family said I should def do this one again!
I made this and it was delicious! Next time I think I’ll put more greens because for me it needed more crunch. I will definitely make this again!
Quick & easy dinner but my husband and I found it to be a little flavorless, even though I doubled the garlic, ginger, and mirin. I also added a little sriracha for heat. Not sure what might give it more body/dimension, but we thought it was just OK
Probably one of the easiest recipes I have ever made. I added Trader Joe’s frozen rice plus a package of cauliflower rice to bulk up the veggies. The taste is flavorful and this will make great lunches/dinners on the run this week! Honestly, start to finish, this dish took me 10 mins to make!
This is amazing! So easy to make and very filling. It will definitely be on my dinner rotation.
Loved. Needed just a little more flavor. I put some chinese hot mustard and my husband did Chinese mustard and duck sauce and it pulled it all together nicely!
Absolutely delicious!
we enjoyed this recipe. Next time I’m going to use poached, shredded chicken and make a little more sauce. We fried a few won ton wrappers to sprinkle on top, delicious!
We really enjoyed this. I followed the recipe but ended up making half more sauce and I’m glad I did. Rationed out the 1.5 cup over brown rice. I have at least 2 more servings left, so I am thinking it serves 4, not 3. Would also add sliced water chestnuts next time. I will be making this again.
Seriously one of the best recipes on the site! From the time I shopped the grocery store to the time I finished making this dish, it was less than 45 minutes. So flavorful! It reminds me more of mushu chicken than an egg roll, but that’s not a bad thing! I should add water chestnuts next time!
Thanks Sonia! Glad you enjoyed it!
I found it was 4 servings and very filling. The only thing different was to add a few red pepper flakes. Yummy! Will be in the rotation.
This is my new go-to recipe, it’s delicious, I paired it with cauliflower fried rice and it was amazing! So healthy too! I may try it next time with tofu instead of ground chicken
What’s a good substitute for baby bok choy? I don’t like it. More slaw or something else? Can’t wait to try this! I’ll be meal prepping this for lunches.
I am going to use Spinach.
Leek would also work great !
Great low prep quick filling dinner with a nice amount of veggies. I eyeballed the slaw mix and ended up using almost the whole bag. Would definitely add edamame next time. My grocery only had regular bok choy, but the ends were a little bitter so definitely use the baby bok choy if you can find it. Added dry roasted peanuts on top for crunch. Will make again! Thank you!!
I followed the recipe exactly and it was delicious.
It is going into my recipe binder. Definitely making this again and thank for another great recipe.
Thanks Lucy!
Looking forward to making this! Does the calories listed include rice?
wondering the same thing
Yes
Yes, if its an ingredient it’s included.
What can be subbed for mirin?
Can I use rice vinegar instead of mirin? Also my iPad and this site don’t get along. Idk why.
One of the best recipes ever. Great for a quick dinner or meal prep. Add edamame.
This looks wonderful. Quick question on the nutrition calculations. Does that include the rice?
yes it does
How much rice? is it 1 cup of the egg roll bowl and 1/2 cup rice?
