Key Ingredients & Substitutions
Ground Pork or Beef: These proteins add flavor and texture to your dish. If you’re looking for a lighter option, try ground turkey or chicken. You could also use plant-based ground meat for a vegetarian version.
Coleslaw Mix: This mix is convenient and gives you a great crunch. If you can’t find it, you can easily shred your own cabbage and carrots. Just chop green cabbage and grate a couple of carrots—simple!
Garlic: Fresh garlic makes a difference in flavor. You can swap it out for garlic powder in a pinch, but fresh will give you a better taste. Use about 1/8 teaspoon for each clove.
Ginger: Ground ginger works well, but if you have fresh ginger, it will bring more vibrant flavor. Grate it finely for the best results. If ginger isn’t your thing, you can skip it entirely.
Soy Sauce: Use low-sodium soy sauce for a healthier option. If you need a gluten-free version, tamari is a great substitute.
How Do I Cook the Perfect Eggroll In A Bowl on a Griddle?
Cooking on a Blackstone griddle is fun and gives you great results! Make sure to keep an eye on the heat for even cooking.
- Preheat the griddle to medium-high heat for best results. This helps get a nice sear on your meat.
- When cooking the ground meat, break it up into smaller pieces to help it brown evenly.
- Don’t overcrowd the griddle with ingredients. It’s best to cook in layers to allow everything to heat properly.
- Once you’ve added the garlic, keep stirring it so it doesn’t burn. It should be fragrant but lightly golden, not brown.
- Stirring the veggies occasionally ensures they cook evenly and get that tender texture without getting mushy.
Enjoy cooking this quick and tasty dish—it’s perfect for busy nights!

Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Preheat the Griddle:
Start by preheating your Blackstone griddle over medium-high heat. This ensures your ingredients cook evenly and quickly.
2. Cook the Meat:
Add the ground pork or beef to the griddle. Cook it for about 5-7 minutes, breaking it up with a spatula as it cooks until it’s nicely browned. Keep an eye on it and drain any excess grease if needed.
3. Add the Garlic:
Once the meat is cooked, push it to one side of the griddle. In the empty space, add the minced garlic and cook it for about 30 seconds, just until it smells fantastic!
4. Mix in Vegetables:
Next, add the coleslaw mix and shredded carrots to the griddle. Mix them in with the garlic and meat. Cook everything together for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender.

Can I Use a Different Protein in This Recipe?
Absolutely! You can substitute the ground pork or beef with ground turkey, chicken, or even tofu for a vegetarian option. Just cook it until it’s fully browned, similar to the directions given for the pork or beef.
What Can I Substitute for Soy Sauce?
If you need a soy sauce substitute, you can use coconut aminos for a gluten-free option or liquid aminos. For a low-sodium version, look for low-sodium soy sauce. If you want to avoid soy altogether, consider using a blend of vegetable broth with a splash of balsamic vinegar for flavor.
How Do I Store Leftovers?
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. You can reheat it on the Blackstone griddle or in a skillet over medium heat until warmed through. Add a splash of water to keep it from drying out!
Can I Add More Vegetables?
Definitely! Feel free to toss in other veggies such as bell peppers, snap peas, or mushrooms. Just make sure to chop them to a similar size as the coleslaw mix so they cook evenly. Add them along with the coleslaw for a colorful and nutritious boost!
