This Easy Eggroll In A Bowl is a fun twist on traditional eggrolls, all made in one pan! It features tasty ground meat, colorful veggies, and a hint of soy sauce for flavor.
You won’t need to worry about deep frying—just cook it on the Blackstone for a quick and easy meal. I love topping mine with a sprinkle of green onions. So good!
Key Ingredients & Substitutions
Ground Meat: Ground pork is classic for this dish, but ground beef or turkey works just as well. If you’re looking for a healthier option, lean chicken can be a great choice.
Cabbage: I like using both green and purple cabbage for color, but if you can only find one type, that’s perfectly fine! Bok choy is another tasty alternative.
Carrots: Shredded carrots add sweetness and crunch. If you don’t have shredded carrots, thinly sliced bell peppers or zucchini can give a similar texture. You might also consider using frozen shredded carrots for convenience.
Soy Sauce: If you’re watching your sodium intake, low-sodium soy sauce is a good substitute. Alternatively, tamari or coconut aminos offer a gluten-free option.
Ginger and Garlic: Fresh is best for both ginger and garlic, but you can use dried versions if that’s all you have. Just adjust the amounts—dried is more concentrated.
How Do You Get the Best Flavor on the Blackstone Griddle?
Using the Blackstone griddle helps bring out those delicious flavors, but there are a few tips to keep in mind:
- Preheat your griddle well before adding any oil—it helps create a non-stick surface.
- Don’t rush the cooking. Browning the meat is key to adding richness to the dish.
- When adding sauces, drizzle them evenly over the entire mixture to allow for even flavor distribution.
- Mixing the ingredients thoroughly ensures that every bite is packed with goodness.
- Don’t shy away from adjusting your heat. If something is cooking too quickly, lower the heat to prevent burning.
Following these simple tips will help you achieve a perfectly cooked and flavorful Eggroll In A Bowl that everyone will enjoy!
Easy Eggroll In A Bowl Recipe On The Blackstone
Ingredients:
- 1 lb ground pork or ground beef
- 1 small head of green cabbage, shredded
- 1 small head of purple cabbage, shredded
- 2 cups shredded carrots (or julienned baby carrots)
- 4-5 green onions, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp ginger, minced or grated
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil (for cooking)
- 1 tsp black pepper
- Optional: 1-2 tsp sriracha or chili garlic sauce for heat
- Optional garnish: sliced green onions, sesame seeds
Time Needed:
You will need about 10 minutes for prep and 15 minutes for cooking. In just 25 minutes, you’ll have a delicious and filling meal ready to enjoy!
Instructions:
1. Preheat the Griddle:
Start by preheating your Blackstone griddle to medium-high heat. Once it’s hot, add the vegetable oil to the cooking surface.
2. Cook the Meat:
Add the ground pork or beef to the hot griddle. Use a spatula to break it up as it cooks. Keep cooking until the meat is browned and fully cooked through, which should take about 5-7 minutes.
3. Add Aromatics:
Push the cooked meat to one side of the griddle. On the other side, add the minced garlic and grated ginger. Cook for about 30 seconds until they’re fragrant, stirring to avoid burning.
4. Add the Veggies:
Next, add the shredded green cabbage, purple cabbage, shredded carrots, and chopped green onions to the griddle. Toss everything together with the meat.
5. Cook Until Crisp:
Cook the mixture while stirring often, for about 5 minutes, or until the cabbage is slightly wilted but still crisp.
6. Season and Combine:
Drizzle the soy sauce and sesame oil evenly over the mixture. Then, sprinkle with black pepper. If you’re a fan of heat, add sriracha or chili garlic sauce at this stage, and mix everything together well.
7. Blend the Flavors:
Continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally. This helps blend the flavors and warms everything through.
8. Taste and Adjust:
Give it a taste and see if it needs a little more soy sauce or seasoning. Adjust as desired!
9. Serve and Enjoy:
Serve your eggroll bowl hot right from the griddle. You can garnish it with sliced green onions and sesame seeds if you like for an extra touch!
Enjoy your flavorful and easy Eggroll In A Bowl, perfect for a quick and healthy meal made right on the Blackstone!
FAQ for Easy Eggroll In A Bowl Recipe
Can I Use Frozen Vegetables Instead?
Yes! Frozen stir-fry vegetables work well for this recipe. Just be sure to thaw them and drain any excess water before adding them to the griddle to avoid excess moisture in your dish.
How Can I Make This Recipe Vegetarian?
To make this dish vegetarian, simply substitute the ground meat with firm tofu, tempeh, or a meat substitute like soy crumbles. Increase the amount of vegetables for added flavor and texture!
