Instant Pot Egg Roll in a Bowl


Egg Roll in a Bowl is so simple and amazingly delicious!  Served with wonton chips or rice, it is a healthy, robust meal.  Egg rolls turned inside out...who would have thought?  I also include the recipe for wonton chips and an amazing sweet and sour sauce!

1 1/2 pounds of ground pork is pictured, but I use one pound as called for in the recipe.

One of my favorite pressure cooker recipe authors is Sandy Clifton.  Author of Simply Happy Electric Pressure Cooking, she also has a blog called Simply Happy Foodie, which is where the recipe for Instant Pot Egg Roll in a Bowl can be found:  https://www.simplyhappyfoodie.com/instant-pot-egg-roll-bowl/

Instant Pot Egg Roll in a Bowl 101:

1)  I make the recipe as written but use a 16 oz. bag of coleslaw mix.  I don't use the Sriracha.

2)  Before serving, salt and pepper to taste.

3)  I often make the wonton chips earlier in the day to get that step out of the way.  If doing so, it will take about 35 minutes to make them from start to finish.  After cooling, store them in an airtight container.  If I make them at the same time that I do the filling, I start the wonton chips first and then start on the filling.  

4)  You only need half of the 16 oz. package of wonton wraps.  The other half of the wraps can be baked as chips and stored in the freezer for future use if desired.

Wonton Chips

1 (16 oz.) package wonton wraps (found in the produce section)
Nonstick cooking spray (Pam)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Spray 2 baking sheets with nonstick cooking spray.  Cut half of the wonton wraps diagonally so that they form 2 triangles.  A pizza cutter works well for this.  Arrange wonton wraps on the baking sheets.  (See photo.)  Place one tray at a time on the middle oven rack and bake until golden brown.  This will take from 5-10 minutes depending on the thickness of the baking sheet.  Cool before serving.


If made as written using 80/20 ground pork, low sodium soy sauce, 2 tbsp. toasted sesame oil, and a 16 oz. bag of coleslaw mix, each serving has:
