Blackstone Egg Roll In A Bowl is a yummy dish that brings all the flavors of egg rolls without the hassle of rolling them up. It’s loaded with ground meat, crunchy veggies, and tasty seasonings!
This meal is so easy to make—just toss everything in a skillet and stir! I love how it’s both quick and satisfying, perfect for busy nights when I’m craving something delicious without too much fuss.
Key Ingredients & Substitutions
Ground Pork or Turkey: This is the base protein for the dish. I love using ground pork for its rich flavor, but ground turkey is a great leaner option. If you’re looking for something different, try ground chicken or even tofu for a vegetarian option.
Coleslaw Mix: This combination of cabbage and carrots adds crunch and color. If you can’t find it, you can use shredded cabbage and julienned carrots separately. Other vegetables like zucchini or bell peppers work well too!
Shiitake Mushrooms: These mushrooms have a rich, earthy flavor. You can substitute them with any mushrooms you prefer, like cremini or button mushrooms. If you’re not a mushroom fan, just skip them or add extra veggies.
Soy Sauce: This gives a nice umami flavor. If you’re avoiding soy, tamari is an excellent gluten-free option. You can also use coconut aminos for a slightly sweeter taste.
How Do You Get Delicious Flavor from Your Vegetables?
Cooking the vegetables properly is key in this recipe! Start by sautéing the garlic and ginger in the oil before adding other ingredients. This helps release their flavors. Here’s a step-by-step:
- Heat your skillet on medium-high. Add olive oil, then ground meat, breaking it up and browning for about 5-7 minutes.
- Add minced garlic and ginger, cooking for another minute until you can smell them.
- Stir in onions and bell peppers, letting them soften for 2-3 minutes before adding the coleslaw mix and mushrooms.
When everything starts to soften and combined with the sauces, it will create a beautiful blend of flavors!
