Eggroll in a Bowl on the Blackstone Griddle is a fun and tasty twist on traditional egg rolls! It has all the yummy flavors packed with ground meat, veggies, and soy sauce, but in a stir-fry form.
This dish cooks up quickly, and you can customize it with your favorite ingredients. I love how it brings everyone together—perfect for dinner and packed with smiles! 🌟
Key Ingredients & Substitutions
Ground Pork or Turkey: Both are great choices for this dish. I often use ground turkey since it’s leaner. If you’re looking for a vegetarian option, firm tofu or tempeh can be excellent substitutes. Just crumble or chop them before cooking.
Coleslaw Mix: This mix of shredded cabbage and carrots provides texture and flavor. If you can’t find it, you can easily make your own by shredding cabbage and carrots. Add some chopped red cabbage for color!
Soy Sauce: A must for that deep umami flavor! For a gluten-free version, use tamari or a gluten-free soy sauce. Coconut aminos are another fantastic alternative with a slightly sweeter taste.
Sesame Oil: This adds a lovely nutty flavor. If you don’t have it, you can substitute with olive oil or canola oil, but the dish won’t have the same richness. For a twist, try toasted sesame oil for an even stronger flavor.
How Can I Cook Vegetables Perfectly on the Griddle?
Cooking veggies just right can make a big difference in your dish. You want them tender but still crunchy—so timing is key! Start with those that need longer cooking, like garlic, then add quicker-cooking veggies like the coleslaw mix.
- Push your cooked meat to one side of the griddle to free up space.
- Cook the garlic in oil until fragrant but not burnt (about 30 seconds).
- Add the coleslaw mix, matchstick carrots, and green onions, and stir. The mixture should cook together and soften for about 3-4 minutes.
- Keep stirring to check for even cooking and prevent burning, ensuring everything gets coated in flavors.

1. Preheating the Griddle:
Start by preheating your Blackstone griddle over medium heat. This will ensure that your ingredients cook evenly and quickly.

Can I Use a Different Protein for This Recipe?
Absolutely! You can substitute ground pork or turkey with ground chicken, beef, or even plant-based proteins like tofu or tempeh for a vegetarian option. Just make sure to adjust the cooking time based on the protein you choose, as some may require longer cooking to ensure they’re fully cooked.
How Can I Make This Recipe Gluten-Free?
To make this Eggroll in a Bowl gluten-free, simply swap out regular soy sauce for a gluten-free soy sauce or tamari. This will maintain that delicious flavor without the gluten. Also, check your coleslaw mix for any added ingredients that may contain gluten.
What Are Some Storage Tips for Leftovers?
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply warm it up on the griddle or in a microwave until heated through. You may want to add a splash of water or broth to maintain moisture during reheating.
Can I Add More Vegetables to This Dish?
Definitely! Feel free to add more veggies like bell peppers, snap peas, or broccoli to the mix. Just be sure to chop them into small pieces for even cooking and add them along with the coleslaw mix to ensure they cook properly.
