Egg Roll Bowls

Jump to Recipe

When it comes to getting take out, I am such a sucker for the egg rolls! That crispy outer shell with the warm and flavorful filling is just so good. But with them being typically deep fried, it an be a bit much. So I started with idea of a way to bake them instead, and then I realized that it’s the feeling that I wanted. Then it becomes how do I get more filling and bam! – Egg Roll Bowls!

Egg Roll Bowls

You will definitely going to need some Baking Bowl Molds. They are often listed as tortilla or taco shell molds, but you can use them for so much more. Like these wonton bowls, which you may just want to use for more than these egg roll bowls. You could fill them with an Asian inspired salad or stir fry. You can also use them to make fun bowls for desserts by brushing wonton wrapper or tortillas with honey and/or cinnamon sugar.

Egg Roll Bowls

I used ground pork, because that’s my favorite type of egg roll. But you can make this with any ground meat really. Beef, Chicken, Turkey – even lamb, would work just fine in the recipe. You can also use a combination of red and green cabbage if you prefer. But just remember to keep it simple, too many ingredients can muddle the classic egg roll flavors.

Egg Roll Bowls

You may be wondering if this is really a whole meal – but it really is. Super filling and full of flavor it really is a dish that can be the whole dinner. If you wanted to go with more of a take-out meal, you could fill the bowls a little less and then serve along side some fried rice or chow mein or what ever you take out favorites are.
