To find your microwave’s wattage, look at the front panel, the side of the door, in the back, in the user manual, or Google the model number. If both an input and output wattage are listed, use the output.

Wattage translates to how powerful the microwave is. The higher the wattage, the faster your food will cook. The lower the wattage, the longer the cook time.

When in doubt, start with less time — you can always add more.

Dish

The Small Dish

Ingredients

  • 2 oz (65g) ground pork or lean ground beef
  • ⅛ yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • ½ garlic clove, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1 cup (50g) shredded cabbage or coleslaw mix
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • ½ teaspoon sriracha sauce
  • ½ teaspoon rice vinegar
  • ½ teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • ½ scallion, chopped (optional)

Preparation

  1. Place the pork or beef, onions, garlic, and ginger in an Anyday dish and mix well. Cover with lid (knob lifted) and cook in the microwave for 1-2 minutes, or until the meat is partially cooked and onions begin to soften.
  2. Add the cabbage and mix well, making sure to break the meat into smaller pieces. Continue cooking for 1-2 minutes, or until the cabbage is just wilted but remains crunchy and the meat is cooked through.
  3. Season with the soy, sriracha, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Garnish with scallions, if desired.

Suggestions

  • Switch up the greens: Try it with kale or Swiss chard for a hearty, nutrient-packed alternative to cabbage.
  • Add a crunchy topping: Top with fresh bean sprouts for an extra layer of texture and freshness.
  • Boost with protein: Add a poached egg on top for a rich, velvety addition that makes the dish even more satisfying.
  • Try it with cauliflower rice: Swap the traditional rice base for cauliflower rice to make it a lighter, low-carb meal.

Recipe Notes

  • For a leaner dish, substitute pork with ground turkey or chicken.
  • Microwave ovens vary, even with the same wattages. Adjust cooking times as needed.

All You Need to Know About Making Egg Roll in a Bowl in the Microwave

What is Egg Roll in a Bowl?

Egg Roll in a Bowl is a deconstructed version of a classic egg roll. It features seasoned ground meat, cabbage, and aromatics. Basically, everything but the wrapper! It delivers the same savory, umami-packed flavor but in a quicker, low-carb format.

Can I make Egg Roll in a Bowl in the microwave?

Yes! Egg Roll in a Bowl is easy to make in the microwave using an Anyday dish. The microwave steams the cabbage while cooking the meat evenly. This combination creates a flavorful, one-dish meal in minutes.

Can I use ground chicken or turkey instead of pork or beef?

Absolutely! Ground chicken or turkey works well in this dish. Since these meats are leaner, you may want to add a splash of oil or broth to keep the mixture moist.

How do I know when the cabbage is done?

The cabbage should be tender but still have a slight crunch. For softer cabbage, cook in short intervals until it reaches your desired texture.

What’s the best way to serve Egg Roll in a Bowl?

Serve it as-is for a low-carb meal, or pair it with steamed rice, noodles, or lettuce wraps. Garnish with scallions, sesame seeds, or a drizzle of extra sriracha for added flavor.

How long can I store leftovers?

Store leftovers in an Anyday dish covered with the lid in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave on medium power, stirring halfway through, until warmed through.
