Craving Chinese food, but trying to stick to your low-carb resolution? Instant Pot Egg Roll Bowls are the perfect solution for an easy weekday meal to satisfy that craving without all the guilt!
Instant Pot Egg Roll Bowls are a healthier spin on a Chinese food classic. If you have never had an egg roll bowl before, the best way for me to explain it is it’s like eating an egg roll inside out! At least that’s what I tell my family. We love to customize our bowls with our favorite dipping sauces like sweet and sour, teriyaki, soy, or even spicy mustard!
The possibilities are really endless with this meal! You can use ground beef, turkey, or pork with any kind of seasoning you would like. Nothing is set in stone in this recipe! You don’t like something I have listed in the directions? Take it out and replace it. Want to use fresh cabbage instead of the bagged mix? You can do it with the same cooking time! It’s just such a simple recipe!
Check out how simple it is to make these Instant Pot Egg Roll Bowls!
I like to make baked chips out of egg roll wrappers to serve with my egg roll bowls. Not only does it make eating them more fun (like of it like egg roll nachos), but it also makes dipping a breeze!
All in All, Instant Pot Egg Roll Bowls make for a healthy, filling, and super easy meal anytime you are looking to curve the Chinese food craving!
Instant Pot Egg Roll Bowls
Place Instant Pot on saute. Wait until it’s hot and then add pork (or meat of choice). Add seasonings and soy sauce and brown meat. If you are using a lean meat (like ground pork or turkey) you will not need to drain it when its done. If you are using a higher fat meat (like ground beef) you will need to drain when browned.
When meat is browned, turn Instant Pot off and add the 1/2 cup bone broth. Add bag of cole slaw mix on top and DO NOT stir. Place lid on and turn knob to sealing position.
Set Instant Pot on manual high pressure for 0 minutes. If you have a newer model Instant Pot, you select the pressure cook button instead for 0 minutes. And, yes 0 minutes is totally a thing. Just keep hitting the – button until the timer reaches 0.
When timer is up, preform a quick release. When pressure is released, open carefully and give everything a quick stir.
Spoon into bowls and enjoy!
Wonton Chips
Preheat oven to 400 degrees while Instant Pot is preheating on saute.
Cut egg roll wrappers into strips and bush with olive or veggie oil. I use egg roll wrappers because they are more sturdy then traditional wonton wrappers when you are trying to scoop, but you can use whatever you have (even tortilla chips).
Bake in preheated oven for 4-5 minutes until bubbly and brown. WATCH these carefully because they go from brown to burned very fast!
Let chips cool and enjoy with your egg roll bowls!

Shut Up!!! I can’t even wait to try this!!!! My heart is singing and the clouds are parting…. Eggroll bowls! If I weren’t snowed in and short ingredients I would make it tonight!!!
Made this for lunch today with the addition of some chopped water chestnuts for crunch. Very good.
Do you think I could modify this to make in a crockpot? I haven’t jumped on the Instant Pot train just yet 🙂
Hi Amanda! Sure, but I think it would be better to do on the stove because it does not take that long to soften up the cabbage. You could cook the meat in a skillet, add the seasonings, then throw on the cabbage and let it cook for 5-10 minutes (based on desired tenderness). If you wanted to do it in a crock put, you would still have to brown the meat first and then add the seasonings. I think you would put in on low for about an hour or so after you add the cabbage. I have not tried this myself but it seems like it would work! 🙂
i have done this on the store as well. It’s still really good!
how can i make the insides without an instant pot? thank you
You would cook the meat in skillet, then add the soy sauce and seasonings. Stir that up and then throw the cabbage on top and let it cook down until it’s tender (5-10 minutes depending on how soft you want it). It’s super simple! 🙂
I don’t understand the “0” minutes. Can you explain.thank you
You select manual then adjust the timer to 0. This means the Instant Pot will get up to pressure, then immediately switch off. This is perfect for this because it cooks the cabbage without turning it to mush. Hope that helps!
Can this be made in a wok instead I’d infant pot?
Yes it could. You would cook the meat in the wok, then add the soy sauce and seasonings. Stir that up and then throw the cabbage on top and let it cook down until it’s tender (5-10 minutes depending on how soft you want it)
What size instant pot did you use?
I use a 6 Qt.
Hi love your recipes. Wanting to onow if u have any receipes for 2 people. Small household with only a 3 qt. Instant pot. Thank you
Very good! Added extra shredded carrots and a little more ginger and it’s fantastic!
I would like to see what the nutrition read out is on this. Is it possible?
🙏
The nutritional info has been added. 🙂
49 grams of carbs?😳 Is that for all the wonton chips? I don’t understand how the nutritional values are calculated on this dish. This sounds yummy, though.
Hi Eileen! I didn’t realize the calculations were including the whole pack of wonton wrappers. The nutritional values have been updated now to not include that.
I made this last night and it is AMAZING!!!! I made it exactly how it’s written and we will definitely make this again (and again 🙂
I didn’t see how many servings it is supposed to make. Is it possible to find that out?
Lol, in my house, it would be 3!!!
I’d guess 4 or 5 (3-4oz meat + 1 serving veggie)
My goodness! When I am looking for a great recipe I go to Pinterest and find one. After looking at the author, it’s your 99% of the time! My family loves your recipes! Keep them coming! Thank you!
How many servings of what amount foes this make?
The info has been added. 🙂
Tell me about the bone broth. How did you go about getting it? This looks delicious and I can’t wait to try it.
Hi Penny! I actually make it myself, you can find the recipe here (https://www.idonthavetimeforthat.com/instant-pot-bone-broth/), but you can also buy it in the soup section at your local grocery store.
Do you have the nutritional facts on this meal please?
I made this tonight for my Keto husband and picky kids. I don’t even care if the kids like it… because more for me. Super yummy. And as much as I love my Instapot I made this on the stove in 20 minutes. I used fresh ginger and garlic instead of powder.
I would love to get your recipes.
I don’t like cooked cabbage but this sounds so good. I may just cook it up and throw the cabbage in just before eating it.
I was going to make this just for myself but my husband loved it. I used a large saute pan on the stovetop and it came together so quickly. He added red pepper flakes and I added pickled ginger. We loved the eggroll wrappers made into scoops. we tried corn chips but too salty.
Looks yummy! Would love to sign up for more recipes
This was absolutely delicious!! A new family favorite! It was perfect for a busy weeknight. Thank you!!
So glad everyone liked it!
Would it be possible to double the recipe? Would that change the cooking time?
You can absolutely double it. No additional time would be needed.
What can type of broth can I use instead of Bone Broth?
You can use any type (vegetable, beef, chicken ect.) you would like.
Would this freeze well or would the cabbage turn mushy?
I made this last night and am in love. Trying to cut down a few pounds so I made a few tweaks. Did 1/3 pork and 2/3 low fat beef for the meat. Added the whites of the scallions while cooking the meat and fresh bean sprouts in with the cabbage. And of course extra fresh garlic and ginger versus powdered. Used braggs aminos instead of the soy sauce. Topped with the scallion greens to garnish. It was so so so good!!! Thanks for the recipe
I really like this recipe and so does my family. I use two bags of slaw mix. I made it with ground beef the first two times and lean ground pork this week. Either way, it’s a winner.
Where do you find wonton chips?
They are wonton egg roll wrappers and they are usually found in the produce section of any grocery store. You can even pick them up at Walmart.
49g carbs per 1 cup serving seems awfully high for a dish that’s being touted as low carb. Is this a correct value for the carbs?
Hi Dot! When the nutritional values were calculated it actually included the whole pack of wonton wrappers. I have updated the nutritional value to read correctly now.
Do the calories include the wontons?
Yes it does! I’m sorry I didn’t even realize. It has been updated to not include it now.
Yes it did. I have updated it now to read correctly.
This turned out really good and is a great lower carb meal. I used 1/2 pound of ground turkey, fresh ginger and garlic, shredded a small head of cabbage, 2 carrots and added celery. I also saved some of the cabbage to add after it cooked (as suggested in an IP group), but I don’t think it made much difference. It would be perfect to prepare the meat, seasonings and broth ahead of time (and possibly freeze it) to have ready for a busy night. I baked 1/2 package of egg roll wrappers brushed with a little olive oil and that was enough for the meal. I think next time I might use more oil or use the prepared crispy chinese noodles in the summer.
Oh em gee! So simple and so good! I added a couple of drops of oyster sauce with the soy sauce. Delish! Not so worried about Keto or carbs so the next time I make this for the fam, I might use chow menu noodles instead of wontons. Those were great tho, but a little work. This recipe is going into regular rotation! Thank you!!
Made this tonight and it was amazing! Only thing is I couldn’t find wonton or egg roll wrappers. Where do you get yours?
They are usually found in the produce section near the tofu. I get mine from Walmart usually right in the refrigerated produce section.
HUGE HIT!!! Will definitely make again!
So easy and delicious, thank you! I doubled the recipe in my 8 qt. IP and added a little extra ginger & shredded carrots. Perfect consistency and the egg roll chips are the perfect pairing!
My family gobbled this up tonight. Used ground chicken, added 1 tsp. Sesame Oil. 1 tsp. Sambal Olek and doubled the soya sauce.
Make it in a fry pan. Turned out great!
This dish was so good I wish I had doubled it for leftovers! I cleaned out the veggie drawer and added extra carrots, celery some broccoli I needed to use. I also used fresh ginger and garlic since I had it. I used ground turkey with a beef bouillon cube and this came together so quickly. I even made the wrapper strips and a sweet and sour sauce on the stove to complete the meal. My 4 year old had seconds, which is awesome for as much veggie Andrea protein is packed in! Thanks for an awesome Instant Pot meal, this is going into the rotation.

How much salt? You have 1/. Not sure what number is missing after the /. Thank you!
1/2 tsp. So sorry! I updated the recipe to reflect this. 🙂
Actually, it hasn’t been updated! I can hardly wait to try this with ground chicken, and homemade sweet and sour sauce!
Hi thank you for posting this recipe. Do you have to double the bone broth for a double batch? Thank you
I actually don’t think you would need to because you are only adding it so the pot will get to pressure.
So easy and yummy! My husband loved it, too! I did miss that moment between “brown and burned” with the chips, though! They weren’t burned, but very toasty! 😂
I be making them again! I’m going to put some bean sprouts in! Thank you!
Fixed this for the first time tonighy. Had to use turkey since my dinky little town has a dinky little store. I had to drive an hr to a store that had egg roll wrappers! Anywho, I think I needed a bigger pkg of coleslaw mix. How many ounces in the pkg you recommend? What are the conversions for using fresh garlic & ginger? I used organic chicken broth instead of bone broth because I’m out. I also have a busted oven and the small toaster oven wasn’t cutting it so I jusy fried the egg roll wrappers *some a little too done – they get darker after you take them out* in a skillet with olive oil. Anyone doing it this way, keep your temp low, precut the amount you want, and keep the tongs handy! Hubs and I neither like cooked cabbage and he was skeptical but said it’s a keeper. Other than frying the chips *until my oven is replaced* this was the easiest thing to make!
OMG! This is now a favorite! Delicious!
Thanks so much for this recipe! Everyone in my family of 6 adored it! Even the toddler couldn’t get enough! Super yummy and super easy!
What to use if you have No bone broth
You can use any type you would like (beef, chicken, or veggie).
This egg roll in a bowl was amazing and so easy!
I made this last week and even my very picky daughter loved it! We ate the whole thing and had no leftovers! This will definitely go into the regular meal rotation at my house; it’s incredibly rare to find a meal that we all agree is delicious.
I just made this today and it was AMAZING!! My kids and husband loved it! I did tweak it a little bit and used Jimmy Dean’s breakfast sausage, added some onion as well as, some curry powder we got in Jamaica to it. Absolutely amazing!
Really a whole tablespoon of garlic powder? And 1/ tsp salt? is that 1/2 tsp or 1/8 tsp or 1/4 tsp?
Thanks
If you don’t want to add that much, don’t add that much. No one’s forcing you to do anything here. Geez!
Just made this! Incredible! I used mild Italian Sausage(without the casings), skipped the ginger (personal preference) and topped with crunchy rice noodles and sesame seeds. I’m trying not to just grab my insert and eat until it’s gone!
P.S. I made it in my 3 qt. The perfect size😍
GIRLFRIEND! This was freaking delicious !!! Thank you so much.
I make this several times a month. It was the first IP recipe I made that I loved!!
Can you use a different broth then bone-in?
Yes, you can use what ever you have on hand.
I made this tonight for dinner. It was fabulous. I added double the shredded cabbage and carrot recommended though because I love lots of veggies! It cooked up just fine and tasted amazing. Thank you for sharing this recipe! It’s a favourite for us now!
Fantastic recipe! Thank you!
REALLY yummy and versatile!! You can do so many things with this!! One of my most favorite things that I have made so far!! I used ground pork along with chicken broth. Technically, I cut the recipe in half and had no problems with doing that. No adjustments needed to be made on the cooking instructions. I used the end product to eat out of a bowl and also dipped corn chips in it. Thanks Ashley!!
Thank you Marge! I am so glad you liked it!
This is such a quick and easy meal, I used pork and beef broth and since I used almost 2 bags of slaw mix, I did add a little more of the other ingredients. I also added a can of water chestnuts and made the egg roll strips, this is definitely a keeper.
Just made this and it’s fantastic!!! Super easy and extremely delicious! I can’t wait to make it again!
I just wanted to let you know that I have made this twice now and my kids and I love it! It’s especially tasty the next day, and it’s especially fast if you have precooked meat on hand. This is going into my regular rotation!
Thank you so much for commenting Heather! I am so glad your family loves this!
I used hamburger meat, and didn’t have any ginger on hand, so added some Fish Sauce and Sesame Oil, and sprinkled some sesame seeds over it when it was done. I probably would do two bags of coleslaw mix next time. Eating right now for lunch!
The first time I made this, I didn’t have ground pork on hand, so used ground beef. I also didn’t have any ginger, so added a TBS of fish sauce, and some sesame oil and some sesame seeds. It was very good and I ate on it all week at work. I did wish for more cabbage in it. Today was grocery day, so I picked up some ground pork and ginger. Just made it with the addition of fish sauce, sesame seeds and added sesame oil after it cooked. I have to say – the ground pork is MUCH better than the ground beef in terms of texture. Oh, and I added a second bag of slaw mix – now I have a perfect ratio (for me) of meat to cabbage and will be making this often! Since I’m diabetic, I can’t use the baked wontons. But am waiting for my order of Cut Da Carb flatbread to come in, and will bake some of those up the next time I make this!
This was delicious! I doubled the soy sauce and added a tsp. of Chinese five spice. I topped it off with a drizzling of Sweet Thai Chili sauce.
We tried this for supper to night. It was really good. I wish I had read the comments before I made it though! I would have made it using fresh garlic and ginger. I also doubled the recipe but I will cut back on the meat and put in some of the suggestions like bean sprouts, water chestnuts and red pepper…
Thanks so much for the recipe.
I have made this multiple times and LOVE IT! So easy and delicious. The only change is using chicken broth other than bone broth. Thanks!
I added mushrooms and onions; delicious!
This was so delicious!
I used fresh ginger and added thinly sliced onions and carrots to the mixture before cooking under pressure.
With this being 0 on the pressure timer, how do I get it to cook a little less time so my veggies are a little bit more crisper?
Substitute for bone broth?
Hi,
Is it possible to use beef broth instead of bone broth? Would it taste worse in the instant pot? Not sure where to get bone broth from.
My family loves this dish. We have tried with ground turkey and a high quality ground beef.
I doubled the meat and cabbage. Cancelled just before it came to pressure and quick released. Cabbage was not quite as soft. Yum!
We absolutely loved this as a week night meal. We upped the spices the second time we made it!
Looking for recipe for shrimp egg roll bowl
Brush the whole sheet with olive oil before cutting – saves a ton of time. This was good.
Wal-Mart carries an Asian salad bag with a ginger dressing
Works great
I’m wanting to try this recipe for my family of 7. Is it possible to double this recipe in my instant pot?
Absolutely! You don’t even need to adjust the time, only the ingredients.
When I make this I use the Aldo’s Asian salad blend and use the crunchy topping that comes with it as an add in once finished for crunch. 🙁 haven’t been able to find egg roll wrappers
I made this for my husband and myself. Wow, it was incredible we will certainly add this
to our quick and easy meals. Thanks so much.
