Whether you serve it in a bowl, wrap it in lettuce, or tuck it into meal prep containers, this speedy skillet meal is pure weeknight magic.

Ingredients You’ll Need

The beauty of Egg Roll Stir Fry is how a handful of super-fresh ingredients come together for maximum flavor and texture! Each bite strikes the perfect balance of savory, crunchy, and just a hint of spice. Here’s what you’ll need, plus a quick tip for each ingredient so you make every bit count.

Sesame oil: Adds unmistakable toasty depth and that signature egg roll flavor—never skip it!
Ground pork (or turkey or chicken): Delivers juicy protein and soaks up all the seasonings; swap for turkey or chicken for a lighter option.
Garlic: Minced fresh, it infuses the entire dish with aromatic flavor—jarred garlic will work in a pinch.
Fresh ginger: Grated ginger gives the stir fry sweet warmth and brightness; a microplane makes grating a breeze.
Onion: Diced small, it adds sweetness and savoriness once softened, rounding out the base flavors.
Coleslaw mix or shredded cabbage and carrots: This shortcut keeps prep minimal and maximizes crunchy, colorful veggies—go for classic or add in broccoli slaw for variety.
Low-sodium soy sauce: Delivers salty, umami richness without overwhelming the veggies; tamari works for gluten-free needs.
Rice vinegar: Brightens and balances the richness with gentle acidity for a totally craveable finish.
Sriracha or chili garlic sauce (optional): Brings a little heat if you love a kick, but easily skipped for milder tastes.
Green onions: Sprinkled on at the end, they add freshness, pop of color, and aroma that lifts every bite.
Sesame seeds (optional): Just a small sprinkle delivers nutty crunch and a pretty finishing touch.

How to Make Egg Roll Stir Fry

Step 1: Sizzle with Sesame & Brown the Pork

Start by heating sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. As soon as the oil shimmers, add the ground pork and break it up with a spatula. Cook, stirring frequently, until it’s beautifully browned and cooked through—about 5 to 6 minutes. If things look a bit greasy, just spoon off a little excess fat for a lighter finish.

Step 2: Add Garlic, Ginger, and Onion for Fragrant Flavor

Now toss in the minced garlic, freshly grated ginger, and diced onion. Sauté this trio for a couple of minutes until the onion becomes soft and translucent and your kitchen smells like absolute heaven. This step builds the soul of your Egg Roll Stir Fry, so let those aromatics mingle and work their magic!

Step 3: Stir in the Coleslaw Mix

Add the coleslaw mix or your shredded cabbage and carrots, right into that sizzling pan. Stir everything well and let it cook for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally. You want the veggies wilted but still with a little bite—they’ll shrink and soften, soaking up all the flavors along the way.

Step 4: Saucy Perfection—Bring It Together

Drizzle in the low-sodium soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sriracha (if you’re after a little heat). Give everything a good toss so your stir fry turns glossy and every ingredient gets coated in that savory, tangy sauce. Leave it on the heat for another minute or two, just until everything is heated through and ultra fragrant.

Step 5: Garnish & Serve

Take the skillet off the heat and shower everything with sliced green onions and a generous sprinkle of sesame seeds. That bright, fresh finish is the secret to a stir fry that delivers in every bite! Grab your bowl and dig in—Egg Roll Stir Fry is ready to impress.

How to Serve Egg Roll Stir Fry

Garnishes

A handful of garnishes can take your Egg Roll Stir Fry from tasty to totally drool-worthy. Classic sesame seeds and sliced green onions bring color, crunch, and a mild bite. For extra flair, add crispy wonton strips, a few fresh cilantro leaves, or a splash of chili oil if you love heat. Don’t be afraid to mix it up—rotation keeps each bowl exciting!

Side Dishes

While this stir fry holds its own as a hearty main, pairing it with a simple side can make the meal feel complete. Scoop it over fluffy white rice for comfort, go low-carb with cauliflower rice, or keep it ultra fresh with crunchy lettuce cups. A side of edamame or a cucumber salad amps up those crisp, refreshing vibes.

Creative Ways to Present

Egg Roll Stir Fry is made for fun twists—serve it in lettuce wraps for a light, handheld meal or spoon it into rice bowls for cozy comfort. Roll it up in a warmed tortilla for a fusion “egg roll burrito” or pile it into meal prep boxes for effortless lunches all week. However you dish it up, expect requests for seconds!

Make Ahead and Storage

Storing Leftovers

Pop any leftover Egg Roll Stir Fry into an airtight container and stash it in the fridge. It’ll stay fresh for up to 4 days, making it perfect for next-day lunches or easy dinners. The flavors actually deepen a little overnight, so don’t be surprised if it tastes even better the next day.

Freezing

If you want to stock up, Egg Roll Stir Fry freezes surprisingly well. Simply cool it off, pour into freezer-safe containers, and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw it overnight in the fridge before reheating. The cabbage might be a touch softer after freezing, but the flavors hold up beautifully!

Reheating

For best results, gently reheat your stir fry in a skillet over medium heat for a few minutes, stirring often. You can also zap it in the microwave in short bursts, stirring in between. If things seem dry, add a splash of water or a drizzle of soy sauce to perk it right back up.

FAQs

Can I make Egg Roll Stir Fry vegetarian?

Absolutely! Swap the ground meat for crumbled tofu or your favorite meatless crumbles. Just sauté them the same way, and enjoy all those wonderful flavors—delicious, satisfying, and plant-based!

Is Egg Roll Stir Fry gluten-free?

It can be! Just substitute tamari or a certified gluten-free soy sauce to keep everything gluten-free. Double-check your sriracha and other condiments for hidden gluten, but otherwise, you’re all set.

What’s the best way to get extra crispy edges?

If you love those slightly crispy bits, spread the finished stir fry in an even layer in your skillet and let it cook undisturbed for another 1 to 2 minutes before serving. That gives you caramelized edges without overcooking the veggies.

Can I use other vegetables besides coleslaw mix?

Definitely! Feel free to add chopped bell peppers, snap peas, mushrooms, broccoli slaw, or whatever tender-crisp veggies you love. Egg Roll Stir Fry is the perfect chance to use up extras from your veggie drawer.

How spicy is this dish?

On its own, this dish is quite mild—the only heat comes from sriracha or chili garlic sauce, and that’s optional. If you like it spicier, add more sriracha, extra chopped chiles, or a drizzle of chili crisp at the end.

Final Thoughts

I can’t wait for you to try this craveable Egg Roll Stir Fry for dinner! It’s fast, fresh, deeply satisfying, and every bit as flavorful as your favorite takeout. If a healthy, low-fuss meal that earns rave reviews sounds good, you owe it to yourself to stir up a skillet tonight!
