Do you love egg rolls? I sure do! I enjoy the filling the most, and the hint of garlic and ginger that pops with the ground pork. Yum!

Sometimes I don’t want to eat the deep fried outer wrapping because it is not very healthy. This deconstructed egg roll takes away that problem!

What is the Best Meat to Use For an Egg Roll in a Bowl Recipe?

Ground pork is my favorite meat to use to make this Instant Pot Egg Roll in a Bowl.

I tested it with ground sausage, and didn’t care for it because it was too salty. Perhaps a low sodium chicken sausage would work.

If you have a low sodium breakfast pork sausage, that might work as well.

You can also make this pressure cooker Egg Roll in a Bowl with ground turkey, ground chicken, or ground beef (lean).

Can This Recipe Be Doubled?

Yes, Pressure Cooker Egg Roll in a Bowl can easily be doubled to feed about 8 people.

If you do double it, keep the cook time the same. I will take just a bit longer to come to pressure.

Be sure to Quick Release it so it doesn’t overcook!

This recipe also fits in the 3 quart size pressure cookers.

    I followed the recipe exactly and found it to be a bit bland for me. I added mulch more Tamari and rice vinegar. I also made a duck sauce and fried won ton skins to add on top for texture and extra flavor. Like someone else notes, I added water chestnuts as well.

    1. Sandy says:

      Sounds like great additions!

  2. Kim Edmunds says:

    Thanks so much for posting this recipe for the Instant Pot! I have made the recipe several times on the stovetop but we are preparing for an art show and my husband has stock for the show all over my kitchen. The Instant Pot offers an easy alternative.

  3. Kayla D says:

    Can I use chicken thighs instead of ground meat? Thanks!

    1. Sandy says:

      Yes, but make sure that the meat gets cooked.

  4. Laura says:

    Just made this for dinner. Used ground turkey, added corn and snap peas and extra sesame oil at end of cooking. OMG, this is delicious and I’m a pretty picky eater. I think next time and they’ll definitely be a next time, I’ll add a bit more cabbage and water chestnuts to the mix. I’m so glad I found your site yesterday!!!!!

  5. Bev says:

    I made this tonight & added mushrooms. It was delicious!! I liked the fact that it was filling, flavorful & low-calorie & low-carb!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

  6. Anne Vig says:

    I’ve made this for my family, but plan to make it for a gluten free family of 5 with 3 teens. Any adjustments to the recipe if I doubled it? What vegetables would you add to make it more hearty, or what could I serve with it as a side? It’s to bring to the family after mom has major surgery.
    Thank you!

    1. Sandy says:

      Hi Anne, the cook time should stay the same. Any veggie that will cook, but not overcook in that short amount of time: broccoli, cauliflower, shredded carrots, tofu, corn, peas, diced sweet potato, etc. A side could be baked potatoes, a salad, rice, baked apples, etc. It’s nice of you to do this for them, I hope their mom’s surgery is successful.

  7. LINDA says:

    When it comes to Instant Pot recipes, I practically have you on speed dial Sandy – your recipes are so delish! This was another winner and adaptable in so many ways. I used ground chicken instead of pork, added a bit of extra soy sauce and sesame oil, a tablespoon of oyster sauce, some garlic chili paste, sliced crimini mushrooms and water chestnuts. I wasn’t sure the mushrooms would cook in 0 pressure so I did 2 minutes. The cabbage got a bit lost in the mix so I think next time, I’ll dial that back to your original direction.

    1. Sandy says:

      Thank you, Linda! So many variations are possible!

  8. Rose says:

    When do I add the additional vegetables (such as broccoli)?

    1. Sandy says:

      If you cut your broccoli a little larger, you can ad it on top of the coleslaw mix. It will be a little soft as the cook time is longer than I normally do for broccoli. Cutting the pieces larger helps with that.

  9. Ashley Jayne Lepper says:

    This was the first recipe I tried, the first time I used my pot. I was fine until sometime during step 7 and I got the “BURN” indicator. I panicked and hit cancel. The recipe tasted fine, but there was a thin layer of over what appeared to be burn on the bottom. Any insight?

    1. Sandy says:

      After you brown the meat you need to scrape off any browned bits from the bottom. That’s called deglazing. That and having enough liquid, and layering the ingredients without stirring should give you good results!

    2. Robert Bell says:

      Added frozen edamame and it was off-the-chain good!

  10. Katie says:

    This was so delicious! I added some snow peas and it was awesome!

    1. Sandy says:

      That’a great, Katie! Thank you for your review! Love snow peas!
