Instant Pot egg roll in a bowl takes all the flavors of the classic takeout appetizer and turns it into a lightened up way to enjoy them! This dish is perfect for meal prep or for when you want a quick healthy dinner to enjoy.
We are huge fans of Chinese food and love to order egg rolls whenever we order it in.
But egg rolls are wrapped in dough and deep fried.
Not great if you are trying to be a little more health conscious.
But you can enjoy all the flavors of egg rolls minus all the extra carbs and calories from the deep fried dough shell.
Instant Pot egg roll in a bowl tastes just like the filling in an egg roll, but is so much better for you.
And thanks to the pressure cooker, it turns out perfectly with minimal time spent each and every time you make it.
Ingredients
To make this you’ll need:
- Sausage– Mild pork sausage.
- Onion– A small yellow onion, peeled and diced
- Aromatics– Both ginger paste and minced garlic
- Soy sauce– If you are looking to control the sodium content a little more, you could use lite soy sauce or reduced sodium soy sauce.
- Vinegar– Seasoned rice wine vinegar
- Sesame oil
- Chicken broth– You could substitute veggie broth if that’s what you have on hand
- Coleslaw mix– A whole 14 ounce bag of it
- Green onions– Thinly sliced
- Sriracha– Adjust the amount to suit your tastes
How to Make
Instant Pot egg roll in a bowl is so quick and easy!
To make it, put the liner in the Instant Pot and then press the SAUTE button.
Once the Instant Pot is hot, add both the sausage and the onion to the pot.
Cook, stirring often and crumbling, until almost browned throughout.
At this point, stir the ginger and garlic to the pot and cook for 30 seconds, stirring constantly.
Then, add soy sauce, vinegar, oil, and broth to the pot.
Use a sturdy spoon to scrape up any stuck on browned bits to deglaze the bottom of the pot.
Hit the CANCEL button.
Then, add the coleslaw to the Pot, but do not stir.
Secure the lid on the Pot and set the vent valve to the sealed position.
Cook on HIGH pressure for ZERO minutes.
As soon as the Pot beeps, carefully open the vent valve to do a quick release of steam.
Carefully open the Pot and stir.
Serve either as is or over a bed of steamed rice and enjoy!
Storing Leftovers
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
Reheat on the stove or in the microwave.
You may want to top it with some extra soy sauce or sriracha if the meal has lost a little of its oomph.
Can I freeze egg roll in a bowl?
Yes!
To freeze it, let it cool completely.
Then transfer it to ziplocking freezer safe bags or airtight freezer safe containers.
Freeze for up to 3 months.
Tips and Tricks
- Craving more veggies? You can add broccoli, mushrooms, zucchini, snow peas, or even baby corn to this dish. Adding vegetables doesn’t alter the cook time.
- While pork is the most traditional meat to you use, you could substitute chicken or turkey sausage or even ground chicken instead.
- Use the amount of sriracha you like. If you don’t like spice, you can omit it and if if you want things extra spicy you could add more.
