Egg Roll Noodle Bowl

January 17, 2025

Egg roll noodle bowl is a delicious fusion dish that brings the crispy, savory goodness of egg rolls together with the comforting, hearty texture of noodles. This creative twist on a classic egg roll combines flavorful stir-fried noodles with the essential components of an egg roll—cabbage, carrots, and savory proteins—creating a dish that’s both familiar and exciting. It’s a satisfying meal that’s quick to prepare and perfect for those nights when you’re craving something both crunchy and comforting.

The base of this dish is stir-fried noodles, which can be made from any type of pasta you prefer, though traditional Asian noodles like lo mein or rice noodles work best. These noodles are quickly tossed with a savory sauce made from soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger, providing a rich, umami-packed foundation for the dish. The noodles soak up the sauce, becoming flavorful and satisfying with every bite.

The true magic of the egg roll noodle bowl lies in the toppings. Just like in a classic egg roll, shredded cabbage and carrots provide crunch and sweetness, while adding color and texture to the dish. You can also include other vegetables, like bell peppers or mushrooms, to enhance the dish and create a more vibrant mix of flavors. The vegetables are stir-fried with the noodles, giving them a tender yet crisp bite that perfectly complements the soft noodles.

For protein, ground pork, chicken, or even tofu can be added, offering a savory and hearty element to balance the lightness of the vegetables and noodles. Seasoned with soy sauce, a bit of hoisin sauce, and a touch of rice vinegar, the protein becomes flavorful and savory, adding depth to the dish. Top the bowl with crispy egg roll wrappers that are sliced into strips and fried until golden brown, mimicking the crunchy texture of a traditional egg roll.

The egg roll noodle bowl can be finished with a drizzle of sesame oil, a sprinkle of sesame seeds, and a few fresh herbs like cilantro or green onions for added freshness. For those who like a bit of heat, a dash of chili flakes or a drizzle of sriracha sauce can be added to bring a kick to the dish.

This bowl is a perfect fusion of two beloved comfort foods: the hearty, savory noodles and the crispy, flavorful elements of an egg roll. Whether you’re looking for a quick weeknight dinner or a fun dish to serve at a casual gathering, the egg roll noodle bowl is a flavorful, satisfying choice that everyone will love.

    Just wow! I didn’t have fresh ginger so I used ground and it still tasted amazing. My boyfriend asked for seconds, so yeah.

    Not bad, but I felt like it needed more sauce. 2 tbsp soy sauce felt a little light for my taste. I’ll probably double it next time.

    1. User avatar smartestRedditor says:

      5 stars
      Totally get that—2 tbsp soy sauce is kind of on the lighter side for a bolder flavor. I’ve also thought it needed a bit more “sauce-y” vibe, especially with the ramen noodles. Doubling it next time sounds like a good move!

  3. 3 stars
    Pretty basic recipe. I was hoping for something more exciting.

  4. 5 stars
    Quick and simple, just how I like it! Will make again!

    Good but I had to throw away the cabbage. Can’t stand it! 😡

    1. User avatar Miss Rob Mueller says:

      4 stars
      I get it! Cabbage can be a love-hate thing. I’m not a fan either, but the rest of the dish is amazing! Maybe try swapping it for bell peppers next time? 😊

  6. 5 stars
    This is soooo good!! I added some sriracha and it was perfect. 5 stars!

  7. User avatar carmella.beahan says:

    I don’t have green onions. Can I just use regular onions? Will it still taste good?

  8. 2 stars
    I dunno, why call it egg roll noodle bowl if there’s no egg? Seems misleading!

  9. User avatar ashlyn.wolff says:

    3 stars
    I left out the ginger coz I’m not a fan. Still turned out okay.

  10. 5 stars
    Yummy! My kids loved it! I’ll be making this again for sure! ❤️

  11. User avatar Su Shenlong says:

    Easy to make! But I substituted chicken because I had it on hand. Still turned out great! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

  12. User avatar rolf.mayert says:

    I made this for my kids and they loved it! Easy and quick meal. 🤗

  13. User avatar hildred.schultz7 says:

    I don’t get why you would use ramen noodles. Isn’t that a bit odd for a recipe like this?

  14. User avatar ericka.cronin1988 says:

    This was so easy to make! I loved it! The flavors were great and my kids finished their plates! 😊

  15. User avatar benjamin.trantow94 says:

    Wow. I didn’t think I could make something this tasty from ramen. Turned out way better than my last takeout attempt.

    1. User avatar palma.sanford71 says:

      5 stars
      Right?? Ramen is such a cheat code. I love that you skipped the seasoning packet too—better flavor control.

  16. User avatar hosea.lemke says:

    Yum! I added some chili flakes for spice and it was amazing! 🔥

    1. User avatar lieselotte.kuphal63 says:

      Chili flakes? That’s a great idea! I love a little heat! 🌶️

  17. User avatar clement.hand18 says:

    Didn’t taste like the egg rolls I’m used to, not sure if I’d make it again. 😕

    1. 4 stars
      I get what you mean! It’s not the same as a traditional egg roll for sure. Maybe try adding some more spices next time?

    Banger! Dieters be like, this is too much carbs but who cares! lol.

    This looks good but my husband hates noodles! Guess I’ll skip this one..

  20. User avatar clair.goodwin38 says:

    Meh, it was okay. The flavors were kinda bland. I expected more. 3/5.

  21. 4 stars
    Fantastic flavor! But my noodles turned mushy. How do I avoid that?

    1. 2 stars
      I don’t understand why your noodles got mushy. I always just boil em until they’re soft. Maybe you overcooked them?

    2. User avatar vernon.bayer14 says:

      5 stars
      To avoid mushy noodles, try cooking them for a shorter time or rinse them with cold water after draining. That helps stop the cooking process!

  22. User avatar angelia.brakus says:

    I used chicken instead of pork/beef and it still worked. Cook time for the cabbage was spot on. Would absolutely make again!

    1. User avatar Ilban Richese says:

      4 stars
      Wait, I thought you HAVE to use pork/beef for egg roll flavor. But if it worked with chicken… maybe I’ll test it. Did you use the chicken same amount as the 1/2 lb?

    2. User avatar vivien.nader says:

      5 stars
      Love hearing that! Chicken is a great swap—glad the cabbage timing still worked out. Definitely trying this next time.

  23. User avatar Alia Atreides says:

    I didn’t have ground pork, so I used turkey. Still turned out okay, but not the same.

  24. User avatar Michal Mueller PhD says:

    4 stars
    So filling! I bulked it up with some peas and it worked very well.

  25. User avatar rich.landlord says:

    3 stars
    I made it exactly like it says and it was… fine? Ground pork browned well, but it needed something like chili oil or sriracha for me.

  26. User avatar dante.spencer99 says:

    4 stars
    Easy to make but I forgot the garlic🙈. Still decent tho! 😁

    1. User avatar cherry.fisher says:

      4 stars
      Garlic really makes a difference, but I’m glad it still turned out decent! 😄

  27. 3 stars
    Could use more veggies tbh. Like 2 cups of carrot/cabbage disappears way too fast once you mix it with noodles. Add more cabbage or mushrooms next time.

    1. User avatar obdulia.witting says:

      5 stars
      Totally get that—once the noodles soak everything up, the veggie portion disappears fast 😅 Next time I’ll probably bump up the cabbage and maybe add some mushrooms too like you said.

  28. User avatar jude.yundt says:

    3 stars
    Egg rolls? Noodles? What? Confused but I tried it and it was ok.

  29. 1 star
    This is not egg roll, it’s a noodle bowl! Fake news!

  30. User avatar grazyna.larson2005 says:

    3 stars
    I tried this and my noodles turned out a little mushy. I think I overcooked them while the meat mix finished. Flavor was still decent though.

  31. User avatar lelah.hettinger says:

    2 stars
    1 package ramen noodles for half a pound of meat feels weirdly unbalanced—like too much noodle. I adjusted and it was fine, but the original ratio didn’t wow me.

  32. User avatar taylor.reynolds23 says:

    3 stars
    I used chicken instead of pork, and it was just okay. Too much soy sauce, I think.

  33. User avatar Gail Andrews says:

    5 stars
    This was sooo good! My kids loved it. I’ll def make again!

  34. User avatar Spriggan Earth Mother says:

    I accidentally used too much ginger and it was overwhelming, so be careful. 😬

    1. User avatar linnea.mcclure2023 says:

      4 stars
      Yeah, ginger can really be strong! I usually start with half the amount just in case. Better to add more if you need to.

    2. User avatar Falmer Archer says:

      3 stars
      But ginger is good for you! It’s like spicy medicine. Maybe a little too much is good sometimes?

  35. User avatar Mistral says:

    Cute recipe! Easy to make and satisfying. Good for lunch!

    This looks delicious! Can’t wait to try it tonight! 😊

    Way too salty for my taste! Next time I’ll skip the soy sauce.

    Egg roll bowl? Where’s the egg? I’m confused!

  39. 2 stars
    Why are we using ramen noodles? Can’t we just use real pasta? Like spaghetti or something? 😳 2 stars.

    1. User avatar Leto II Atreides says:

      2 stars
      But real pasta is better! Ramen noodles just feel cheap. I don’t see why you would want to use them like that.

    2. User avatar Spriggan Matron says:

      4 stars
      I think ramen gives it a unique flavor! It’s not the same as pasta, but it’s still delicious. Give it a try! 😊

  40. User avatar arlie.gaylord0 says:

    3 stars
    Not bad, but the flavor was a bit off. Maybe use more soy sauce? 🤷‍♂️

  41. 3 stars
    I didn’t have pork, so I used chicken… not sure if it was a good swap. 😕

  42. 5 stars
    This recipe is so easy! I love it! I added some extra ginger.

  43. User avatar oPandariaNo says:

    2 stars
    I’m skeptical about ditching the ramen seasoning packet—like, that’s half the flavor? Still ate it anyway and it was okay, but I missed the savory kick.

  44. User avatar freeda.wisozk52 says:

    3 stars
    The instructions say “discard seasoning packet” and honestly I miss it. I tried using a tiny bit and it became way more flavorful, but I guess that’s personal preference.

    1. User avatar zofia.collier93 says:

      5 stars
      Totally get it—those packets can be clutch. I always keep a little bit aside too. If it tastes better to you with some, that’s the point 😄

  45. User avatar tu.trantow71 says:

    3 stars
    I don’t like vegtables, but I tried it anyway. Wasn’t bad but a bit chewy.

  46. User avatar Mr. Daron Jast says:

    Really solid weeknight meal. I used ground turkey and it still worked. Next time I might add a pinch of red pepper flakes for some heat.

  47. User avatar Mrs. Nakesha Kemmer says:

    Tasted amazin, but I spent too long making it. Not sure if I’ll try again. 🤔 2 stars.

    1. User avatar kenneth.jacobson says:

      Looks good, but I’m not a fan of cabbage. Can I just use more carrots instead?

    2. User avatar shavonda.oreilly14 says:

      I totally agree! This bowl is super easy to make and tastes amazing. It really has that comfort food vibe! 🍜

  52. User avatar madeleine.turner1964 says:

    4 stars
    Pretty good, but mine turned out a bit salty anyway (maybe my soy sauce was stronger than expected). Next time I’ll start with a slightly smaller amount.

    Meh, tasted kinda bland and I don’t know why. I followed the recipe!

    1. User avatar Death Hound says:

      4 stars
      I find that adding a bit more soy sauce or some chili flakes really helps with the flavor! Maybe try that next time.

  54. 5 stars
    I can definitely make this faster than going out for Chinese food! Love it!

  55. User avatar jerrold.kemmer says:

    The recipe was alright but I hate ginger, so it wasn’t my favorite. How about some alternative suggestions next time? 3 stars.

    1. User avatar zachary.schoen89 says:

      3 stars
      Just leave the ginger out! It’s not essential, right? I think it will still taste good without it.

    2. User avatar colin.terry85 says:

      4 stars
      I totally get that! Ginger can be a strong flavor. You could try replacing it with some lemon juice or a bit of vinegar for a kick without the ginger taste.

  56. 3 stars
    Isn’t it just fried rice with noodles? Kinda seems like the same thing.

  57. User avatar stan.cartwright2024 says:

    3 stars
    Pretty good, but I think it needs more flavor. Maybe add some chili flakes?

  58. User avatar coralee.langosh says:

    This is basically my takeout craving in a bowl—so flavorful. The ginger + garlic combo really pops, and skipping the seasoning packet is smart.

  59. User avatar ethan.cole29 says:

    The instructions are a little messy (like the

    tag in the middle), but cooking it was easy. I added extra green onions and it made it feel fresher.

    1. 5 stars
      Yeah the

      tag is definitely out of place 😅 but I’m glad it still came together. Extra green onions is such a good move!

    2. User avatar bobby.zboncak10 says:

      2 stars
      I tried it once and it was kinda bland for me. Maybe I used too little ginger? Also are we supposed to add the ramen seasoning packet or nah? Cuz it says discard…

  60. User avatar maryetta.predovic says:

    4 stars
    Made it for a quick weeknight dinner. Followed everything except I had pre-shredded cabbage—still great. Next time I might add a little sriracha.

  61. User avatar audra.purdy says:

    I didn’t have pork, so I used chicken. Turned out great! 👍

  62. 5 stars
    This is such a clever combo—egg roll vibes but in noodle form. The ginger and garlic smell amazing. I added a little extra green onion and it was perfect.

  63. User avatar dan.watsica says:

    5 stars
    Easy, quick, and cheap. Just like me, LOL! Definitely making again.

  64. 3 stars
    The instructions were pretty straightforward. However, my noodles got a bit mushy even though I followed the package—maybe I left them in the skillet too long.

  65. User avatar juan.halvorson says:

    Yum! My kids loved it! I’m calling it veggie surprise! 🍜

  66. User avatar suspiciousCommentator says:

    Do people really use ramen noodles for this? I thought it was a joke. 🤔

  67. User avatar Mervin Rosenbaum says:

    I swear I minced the garlic but it tasted kinda raw? Maybe I didn’t cook it long enough. The texture was good though.

  68. 4 stars
    I’m not sure about the carrot/cabbage amount—felt a bit veggie-heavy compared to the meat. But flavor was good and it didn’t feel bland.

  69. User avatar amada.okuneva24 says:

    4 stars
    Yum! I added some chili flakes for a kick. Perfect dinner for my family.

  70. 3 stars
    Ok but sesame oil is strong—use the full amount and it can overpower everything. I only did half and it tasted better to me.

    1. User avatar magda.glover0 says:

      5 stars
      Totally agree—sesame oil can be intense. I usually add it at the end and start with 1/2 tsp. Full tablespoon next time might be too “toasty” for me too.

    2. User avatar mose.rath13 says:

      4 stars
      Interesting—counterpoint: I actually like it strong. I always use the full 1 teaspoon (and yes, I know it’s called “for flavor,” but it’s not subtle lol). Maybe your ginger/garlic ratio was different?
