Instant Pot Egg Roll in a Bowl

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.

    can you freeze it for later

    1. Sandy says:

      I haven’t tried freezing this. I don’t think it would be that good after thawing, but I’m not sure.

  2. Shawna says:

    Pretty good! Quick and easy. Next time I will try it with an over easy egg!

  3. Jessica says:

    WE LOVE THIS MEAL!! This is on weekly rotation at my house!! My husband loves it. I double the recipe and we take the leftovers to work in our lunches. 5+ stars!!

  4. Steve Abele says:

    My 6 Qt requires a min of 2 Qts of liquid.

    How do I adjust the recipe to account for that min amount of liquid.

    I would really like to try this recipe

    1. Sandy says:

      I use a 6-quart as well. Go ahead and make the recipe as instructed. Enjoy!

    2. Elizabeth says:

      Hi Steve, my 6qt says minimum of 2qts as well and I use lean ground pork so there is barely any liquid. But trust me 2Cups is enough, you’ll love it!!

    3. Instant Pot Gal says:

      To Steve, (and to Elizabeth who also replied to Steve)…
      A 6 qt. Instant Pot requires only 1 C. of liquid to get to pressure without getting the dreaded “burn” signal. I actually make this recipe quite often and with ONLY 1/2 C. of liquid…and NEVER get the “burn” signal. Mixing together just all the “sauce” ingredients, but LEAVING OUT the 1/2 C. chicken broth from the recipe will be plenty enough liquid as so much water comes out of the cole slaw mix as it begins to cook down.
      Also, a tip I “stole” from another website…to get in more veggies I add about 3 to 4 C. (16oz. bag) of fresh bean sprouts on top the cole slaw mix – more liquid as they cook down as well 😉

  5. Lindsay says:

    If I doubled this recipe, would I adjust the cook time/cooking instructions?

    1. Sandy says:

      No, keep the cook time the same. If by chance it isn’t quite soft enough, just put the lid back on quickly and let it set for a few minutes and it will soften more in the residual heat.

  6. Jenny Barker says:

    So very good! I was going to add bean sprouts with the cabbage , but decided instead to follow your instructions. So glad I did! Putting them in after cooking made all the difference, they’re still crunchy but cooked. Pinning this!

  7. Cynthia says:

    Absolutely love this recipe! One of the ones I always go back to. I get the Asian salad kits, use the cabbage salad part in the instapot, then use the toppings (wonton strips and almonds) to top the meal. Works great! Thanks for this meal staple!

  8. Laurel says:

    I have made this several times and everyone loves it. I use hot sausage in mine and add grated carrots. So easy and delicious! I also serve it with brown rice.

  9. Richard says:

    Just my third IP recipe and first, “eggroll in a bowl” and I thoroughly enjoyed it! I followed the recipe but used ground beef instead of pork and a broccoli slaw mix with carrots and red cabbage. Next time I’ll try the pork (I think more “Asian”) and add some more Tamari or a little salt to the meat while cooking. And, I think upping the spices just a little more, this could definitely double the veggies. Thanks so much. It turned out great!

  10. Courtney says:

    Hi! When would I add the extra veggies? I’m hoping to add mushrooms and bean sprouts.

    1. Sandy says:

      Add the mushrooms before pressure cooking, and add the sprouts after. Just stir them in and let the residual heat warm them through.
