This Instant Pot egg roll bowls recipe brings me right back to my favorite Asian restaurant. I always get extra egg rolls because I love the flavors, and you can get those same flavors with this healthy Instant Pot recipe.

I can promise you this will quite possibly be the most easy family dinner recipe you make this week. You can literally dump everything in the Instant Pot, turn it on and have it ready in 20-25 minutes!

So if you need a budget-friendly dinner at the end of the month or mid month and that is extremely low effort, but tons of great flavor, then this Instant Pot egg roll bowl recipe is calling your name!

A bowl of ground meat, shredded vegetables, and green onions sits in front of an Instant Pot on a white surface, with chopsticks beside the bowl.

Recipe Ingredient Notes

To make our egg roll bowls, you need the following ingredients:

Ground pork
Soy sauce
Garlic powder
Ground ginger
Pepper
Salt
Colesaw mix
Chicken broth

Equipment Needed

For this recipe, you only need a few simple kitchen tools. We recommend using the following equipment:

An overhead view of a pressure cooker containing a mixture of cooked rice, vegetables, and herbs, with a wooden spoon placed beside it on a white surface.

A close-up view of cooked ground meat mixed with shredded cabbage and carrots inside an Instant Pot.

How to Make Our Instant Pot Egg Roll Bowls Recipe

When you are ready to get started, pull out your Instant Pot and press the SAUTÉ button.
Once the screen reads “HOT” add in the ground pork along with the soy sauce, garlic powder, ground ginger, pepper, and salt and brown the meat.
After the pork has been browned, if there is any extra fat, drain the meat and return it to the Instant Pot.
Now, turn off the Instant Pot by pressing the CANCEL button and pour in the chicken broth and add the bag of coleslaw mix on top, but DO NOT stir the ingredients together.
Put the lid on top and lock it into place and turn the valve to the SEALING position.
Next you will need to press the MANUAL or PRESSURE COOK button and set the timer for 0 (yes zero) minutes.
When the timer is up (aka the Instant Pot is done getting to pressure) move the valve to the VENTING position to prefer a quick release of the pressure.
After the pin drops down signaling all the pressure is out, carefully remove the lid and give every thing a good stir.
Then serve it into bowls and top it with your favorite sauce!

Recipe Notes

When you are ready to make this meal, I know you are going to love it and what a health conscious meal it is. However, the soy sauce is not always everyone’s favorite ingredient to use if they want to cut down on sodium. Besides using a low sodium soy sauce, PureWow has a great list of the best substitutes for soy sauce that you can check out and try in its place.

One way you can add even more flavor to this dish and have it suit your taste buds is by adding which every sauce you like to the bowl. Sauces we recommend include the following: duck sauce, sweet and sour sauce, soy sauce, spicy mustard, mango chutney, and creamy avocado dressing.

Freezer Meal Modification

Cook the ground pork and place in a resealable gallon-sized freezer bag or other freezer-safe container. Dump in soy sauce, garlic powder, ground ginger, and salt and pepper into the bag. Let the bag cool down (if still hot from the cooked pork). Place in the freezer for up to 90 days.

When ready to eat, remove frozen food from the bag (if it won’t come out, run the bag under hot water so that you can remove/peel off the frozen bag). Place the frozen food into your Instant Pot (if it froze in a shape that won’t fit into your Instant Pot, you may need to defrost it for a few minutes or break it into pieces to make it fit). Add 1 bag of coleslaw mix and ½ cup chicken broth to your Instant Pot. Place the lid on the top of the Instant Pot. Move the valve to SEALING (not venting). Press the MANUAL (or PRESSURE COOK) button and set timer for 3 minutes. When the timer is finished, let do a QUICK RELEASE of the pressure. Serve and enjoy!

Serving Suggestions

We recommend serving this recipe with our copycat Panda Express Super Greens, Instant Pot White Rice, and Asian-Glazed Chicken Drumsticks. You can find more Asian-inspired recipes here.

April Mellor says:

We made this tonight and it was delish! Served it over brown rice with Thai Sweet Chili Sauce. A quick and healthy meal. Thank you!

Melanie Morris says:

What are the fried wonton looking things that you’re doing to dip/scoop the food? Are they literally large wontons? Where can I buy them in Layton UT? Thanks!

Cyd says:

Hi Melanie! They are Egg Roll Wrappers. We baked them. This youtube link with our recipe will show you how. Hope you are doing well cute lady! Cyd
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fhyIQownoFI&t=170s
Target and Wal Mart sell egg roll wrappers.

Jo says:

Hi Cyd, can’t seem to get the link to work. What is your YouTube channel??

Cyd says:

https://youtu.be/fhyIQownoFI
Hopefully this will work. But our youtube is Six Sisters Stuff

Karen Fryman says:

Can it be reheated without getting smushy?

Cyd says:

We just reheat the leftovers in the microwave.

JJ says:

Hi, I’m wanting to try this recipe tonight (sounds so good!) and wondering if you are really supposed to set the timer for 0 minutes? Thanks!

Cyd says:

First you saute your meat and drain the grease if any. Then add chicken broth. Add bag of cole slaw mix on top and DO NOT stir.
Lock lid in place and turn knob to sealing position. Press the Manual or Pressure Cook button and set for 0 minutes (Yes! Zero minutes.)

Mary says:

I have a 6 quart lux, is 1/2 cup of broth enough or do I need to do the full 1 cup of liquid?

Linda says:

I love eggrolls. I used chicken cut into real small pieces. Everything else the same. Not sure what went wrong, the cole slaw mix did not come out well. Maybe I didn’t release the pressure fast enough. HELP! I would like to try it again.

Courtney Nail says:

Can you make the egg rolls and freeze before cooking?

Momma Cyd says:

Yes, you can make egg rolls and then freeze them before cooking.

Courtney Nail says:

Would you thaw them before cooking or cook from frozen?

Momma Cyd says:

I would thaw them before cooking.

Mozmy says:

I love you ladies so much! Ya and your recipes have been a lifesaver many times over for me and my family. I am trying this recipe right now but I had to set my timer to 1 min as my IP does not allow me to go to zero lol. Thanks for all ya do! <3

Dan R says:

This was a fantastic recipe! Although my egg rolls didn’t look anything like they were supposed to, they tasted great. My wife and kids loved them, and all were gone in minutes. I also made the egg roll wrapper strips, which were used to eat the leftovers … thanks ladies.

Jackie says:

I don’t have an InstaPot. I’d love to just try it out in a dutch oven on the stove. Cooking the meat and seasonings is simple to adapt, but any recommendations for adding the coleslaw and liquid, and how long to cook, covered or uncovered for good results? It sounds like such a flavorful dish.

Momma Cyd says:

I’m sure you could cook this on the stove top in a pan with the lid on until all cooked through. We haven’t tried it, so we don’t have exact directions for you. But this recipe could be a little more flexible converting from Instant Pot to stove top.

Katie says:

Awesome recipe I made the mistake of adding to much broth but it turned out great I loved it

B Cassey says:

I’ve made this twice so far both times on the stove. Followed the exact recipe the first time served it over rice. Second time, tonight, used turkey over noodles. Was good but I think I like the pork better. After browning the meat with the seasoning I added the slaw and cooked it covered for 10 minutes. Mixed it all up and it was perfect. Great recipe.

Momma Cyd says:

I’m so glad that it worked great on the stovetop for you!!! It’s a yummy recipe!

Christine says:

Going to try this recipe this week! Can you add rice to the dish while cooking? If so how would you do that?

Thanks!

Momma Cyd says:

Rice takes a lot longer to cook than the egg roll bowls. I would cook the rice before hand, set aside and then add it to the cooked egg roll bowls at the end.

Heather says:

Delicious! Tasted like an egg roll and it was so simple. I didn’t realize you could put 0 minutes on your instant pot. Just another new concept I learned from Six Sisters’ Stuff!

Darlyne Redd says:

Another recipe to add to my menu. Thank you ladies for the work you put into these meals so we can reap the easy benefits! Appreciate you so much.

One thing I will never do again is use the microwave to reheat anything. I use the steam button and cook for 10 to 15 minutes, depending on the quantity. About 2 cups takes 10 to 12 minutes. Noodle recipes will taste freshly made each time you steam it. What a game changer since I hate how the microwave seems to change the texture and taste, at least for me. Hope this helps.

Kim H says:

Step 3 says set the Instant Pot for 0 minutes. How long do I set the IP for?

Bobbi @ Six Sisters says:

0 minutes is the correct amount of time to set on the instant pot for this recipe. The time it takes for the instant pot to come to pressure cooks the recipe perfectly without setting any additional minutes.

Camille says:

This is a favorite! I’ve made it many times! If the pork is too lean, I’ll add a bit of butter to avoid burning it (it also adds a nice texture). We serve it with wonton strips (next to the croutons at the store) to get the egg roll crunch and drizzle with sweet and sour sauce! Love it! Thanks!

Holly says:

This is a regular favorite. SO easy. SO tasty. I love pork and get it on sale. Serve it over microwave rice (easy) and top it with generic Yum Yum sauce from the grocery store. Inexpensive, super easy, and delicious! Thanks so much.
