This fun twist on egg rolls gives you all the best flavors without the fuss! It’s a colorful mix of veggies, ground meat, and soy sauce, all tossed together in one bowl.
Key Ingredients & Substitutions
Ground pork: This brings rich flavor. You can swap it for ground turkey or beef if you prefer a leaner meat. I’ve used turkey, and it works great while still tasting delicious!
Coleslaw mix: A mix of shredded cabbage and carrots adds crunch and color. If you can’t find it, you can make your own by shredding cabbage and carrots yourself. I love adding a bit of bell pepper for extra flavor!
Fresh ginger: Ginger adds a nice zing. If you’re out of fresh ginger, ground ginger can work in a pinch, though you’ll need less (about 1/4 teaspoon). I find fresh ginger gives a brighter taste.
Soy sauce: This is essential for the umami flavor. If you’re watching sodium intake, low-sodium soy sauce is a good alternative. I sometimes use liquid aminos for a similar flavor with less salt.
Cheese: I like using cheddar for a nice melty texture, but feel free to try mozzarella or a cheese blend based on your preference. Use dairy-free cheese if you’re avoiding dairy.
How Do I Get the Best Flavor When Sautéing the Ingredients?
Sautéing at the right temperature enhances the flavors and prevents any ingredients from burning. Start by heating your skillet on medium-high heat before adding the ground meat.
- Add the ground pork and break it up. Season with salt and pepper as it cooks. Look for the meat to turn golden brown.
- Once browned, add onion, garlic, and ginger for a fragrant base. Sauté until the onion is soft and translucent, about 2-3 minutes.
- Mix in the coleslaw and cook until tender, about 4-5 minutes. Stir everything well, allowing the flavors to blend before adding sauces.
This technique ensures a tasty blend of flavors that truly brings your dish to life!

1. Brown the Meat:
Start by heating a large skillet or your Blackstone griddle over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the ground pork (or your choice of ground meat) to the skillet.

3. Add the Coleslaw Mix:
Stir in the coleslaw mix and let it cook for another 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally. You want the cabbage to become tender but still retain some crunch.

Can I Use a Different Protein in This Recipe?
Absolutely! You can substitute the ground pork with ground turkey, chicken, or beef. Just keep in mind that cooking times may vary slightly, so ensure the meat is cooked through and any grease is drained off for a cleaner flavor.
What If I Can’t Find Coleslaw Mix?
No worries! You can make your own by shredding cabbage and carrots separately. Use about 3 cups of shredded cabbage and 1 cup of shredded carrots to mimic the coleslaw mix, or mix in other vegetables like bell peppers or snap peas for added crunch.
Can I Make This Recipe Ahead of Time?
Certainly! You can prepare the filling in advance and store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Just reheat in a skillet over medium heat before serving. Add the cheese and garnishes right before serving for the best taste and presentation.
How to Store Leftovers
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, just warm it gently in a skillet or microwave, stirring occasionally to ensure even heating. You can also add a splash of soy sauce to refresh the flavors!
