Ingredients Needed

- Packaged coleslaw mix (shredded cabbage and carrots) - The first two ingredients usually I can find them together in a bag. But if you want more crunch get another bag of carrots to add to it.
- Carrots - Are semi high in carbs, use a whole cabbage and chop that up instead of cole slaw mix and omit the carrots. Keto or Low carb dieters leave carrots out.
- Ground Turkey - to keep it lower points. Sometimes I like using sausage for this but it will be higher in points. Sorry the pic above should say ground turkey lol
- Low sodium soy sauce -It may come to a shock for some people but soy sauce contains gluten. To make this recipe gluten-free sub coconut aminos in place of soy sauce. Sesame oil is made from sesame seeds so it is gluten free.
- Sesame oil - This is 1 ½ teaspoon for 2 points. The whole recipe is 2 points if you are using zero point protein options but if you divide the recipe into 6 equal portions the recipe is now zero points.
- Minced ginger - I like to get the minced ginger in a tube - this can be found in the refrigerator section at the grocery store
- Scallions and sesame seeds for Garnish
Protein Substitutions
- Ground Turkey - Ground turkey is another lean protein that works well with cabbage, garlic, ginger, and soy sauce. It is perfect for a lighter meal. This is what I used for protein in this recipe to make it low in points
- Chicken Egg Roll In a Bowl - Ground chicken is a lean and budget-friendly option that absorbs the flavors of the sauce beautifully.
- Beef Egg Roll in a Bowl - Ground beef makes the dish heartier and pairs well with the Asian-inspired seasonings. Use lean ground beef and drain any excess grease before adding the vegetables.
- Shrimp Egg Roll in a Bowl - easy Shrimp Egg Roll in a Bowl is a quick, flavorful dinner made with tender shrimp, cabbage, carrots, and a savory homemade sauce
- Pork - Coming Soon!
- Blackstone Egg Roll in a Bowl - if you don't have a skillet you can make this on a flat top griddle!

What can I serve Egg Roll in a Bowl?
I have finally turned this recipe into real egg rolls and they come in at 2 points each. See the recipe for Air Fryer Egg Rolls.
Bake or air fry some wonton wrappers to use as scoops for the egg roll.
Make some homemade turkey potstickers in the air fryer to go on the side or some Weight Watchers fried rice.

Storage Tips

Reheat leftovers in the microwave.
How to Make Egg Roll in a Bowl on a Blackstone
- Preheat the Griddle: Heat your Blackstone over medium-high heat. You want a nice, even, hot surface across the cooking zones.
- Brown the Protein: Add your ground turkey (or beef/chicken) directly to the hot griddle. Season with salt, pepper, minced garlic, and ground ginger. Use your bench scraper or spatulas to break the meat apart and let it get a nice, lightly browned sear. (If using shrimp, hold off until the very end so they don't overcook).
- Char the Cabbage & Veggies: Push the cooked meat to a slightly cooler side of the griddle (or a warming rack) to keep it warm. Drop your coleslaw mix (shredded cabbage and carrots) directly onto the hot center of the flat top. Let it sit undisturbed for a minute or two to get a little bit of that smoky, charred griddle flavor, then toss frequently until wilted but still crisp-tender.
- Bring It Together: Toss the cooked protein back in with the cabbage and veggies. Drizzle your egg roll sauce (soy sauce, sesame oil, and any sweeteners or chili garlic sauce) right over the top. Toss everything together vigorously on the hot flat top until the sauce is evenly distributed and bubbling slightly.

Jaime says
Looks SO good! To save time, can I use some shredded up rotisserie chicken? Will that impact points much you think? Thanks!
Jenna says
Nah your good.
Pamela says
Thank you! I just don't want to leave it out if that will impact the whole recipe 🙂
Jenna says
Sometimes I use it and some times I don't. Sometimes I forget to add an ingredient to a recipe as most normal cooks do. No big deal! 🙂
Pamela says
I want to make this tonight. Question: You list sugar in the recipe, but don't use it in the video... Is it best to leave it out? Thanks!
Amy says
So tasty! Made this for my family and we all loved it, including 2 picky teenage girls!! Used turkey sausage, did add a little additional red pepper flakes and minced garlic, and topped it with cilantro. I'm glad I bought another bag of coleslaw, because I'm making this again!!!
Jennette says
This was just delish and I will be making it again soon!! My daughter(a picky eater), took the leftovers for her lunch! Thank you for sharing the recipe!!
Trish says
I used ground beef because it’s what I had on hand. I threw in 8 little green scallions and about 3/4 cup of shredded carrots, but otherwise followed the recipe. I used Gluten free soy sauce and added more to taste. I’m Not on WW program, but recipe sounded great and was! This will be a super way to add more veggies and will be a good breakfast for me (too many breakfast options are filled with gluten so I’ve learned to eat a variety of non traditional foods for breakfast).
Shirley says
I think I would add some fresh bean sprouts and sauté with the cabbage, maybe some diced shiitake mushrooms too.
Rita says
My husband and I love this recipe. I work full time and after a long day i can put it together in minutes!
Filling. Nutritious! My favorite is Shrimp! Leftovers travel well in my lunch for the next day.
