Ingredients Needed
- Oil: Olive oil and sesame seed oil

- Chinese 5-Spice
- Meat: ground beef and pork sausage

How To Make Egg Roll In A Bowl
Heat the olive oil and sesame seed oil in a large skillet. Add the minced garlic and minced ginger.
Next, add the soy sauce, sriracha sauce, and Chinese 5-Spice.
Then, add the ground beef and ground pork.
In the photo above, I’m using what is known as a meat chopper or meat masher. I love this utensil and use it every time I am cooking ground beef. To use the meat chopper, press straight down into the meat and give it a little twist. It easily breaks the meat up into small pieces. I have the Pampered Chef brand, and you can buy it here on Amazon.
Cook the meat until browned, and then drain the grease.
Return the pan to the burner. Add the shredded cabbage and shredded carrots. Cook and stir until the cabbage and carrots are softened.
Remove from heat and sprinkle with sliced green onions.

Frequently Asked
Wonton strips are just what the name implies: little strips of wonton wrappers that are crispy. They are available near the croutons in the grocery store, or you can make them yourself.
As the name implies, it is a combination of five spices: cinnamon, anise, fennel, ginger, and cloves. You only need 1/2 teaspoon for this recipe. So, add 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/8 teaspoon ground anise, 1/8 teaspoon ground fennel, 1/16 teaspoon ground ginger, and 1/16 teaspoon ground cloves.
