Jackie Hartlaub has turned her knack for quick, protein-heavy dinners into 6.4 million TikTok followers, and her latest upload is already racking up views. The food influencer, also the author of The Powered by Protein Cookbook, calls it Pork Egg Roll in a Bowl-an egg roll without the wrapper, the deep-fryer, or the wait.
The Flavor Hack Behind the Bowl
Hartlaub leans on ground pork for the signature egg-roll taste.
“It’s built around ground pork, which gives you that classic egg roll flavor without adding a ton of extra fat,” she tells News Of Los Angeles. The cabbage softens but keeps a little chew, mimicking the texture of the traditional filling.
Flexibility is baked in.
- Swap in ground beef for an even higher protein count
- Keep it pork-free for dietary needs
- Double the batch-flavors meld overnight
“It’s the kind of dish that actually improves overnight as the flavors blend, making every reheated serving just as good, if not better, than the first,” she adds.
15-Minute Timeline
Total active kitchen time matches the total recipe time: 15 minutes flat. Hartlaub walks followers through three quick stages:
- Brown the pork-5 to 7 minutes
- Aromatics in-garlic, ginger, scallion whites, chili oil-then cabbage until tender, another 5 to 7 minutes
- Finish with soy sauce and sesame oil; cook off liquid, 2 to 3 minutes
## Ingredients You Need
- 1 Tbsp. canola oil
- 1 lb. ground pork
- 4 scallions, chopped (white and green parts separated)
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp. minced fresh ginger (from ½-inch piece)
- 1 tsp. garlic chili oil
- 16-oz. bag coleslaw mix OR ½ large head cabbage, shredded
- ⅓ cup lower-sodium soy sauce OR coconut aminos
- 1 tsp. toasted sesame oil
- Optional toppings: chopped peanuts, sesame seeds
Step-by-Step Method
Step 1
Heat canola oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high. Add pork; cook until browned, 5 to 7 minutes, breaking up large pieces.
Step 2
Stir in white parts of scallions, garlic, ginger and garlic chili oil; cook until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Add coleslaw mix, stirring to incorporate. Cook until vegetables are tender, 5 to 7 minutes.
Step 3
Pour in soy sauce and sesame oil; stir to coat. Continue cooking until liquid is absorbed, 2 to 3 minutes. Finish with green scallion tops, peanuts and sesame seeds if desired.
Meal-Prep Gold
Hartlaub labels the bowl a “go-to meal prep recipe” because it reheats like a dream. Pack it into four containers and lunch is set for half the work-week; the flavors intensify after a night in the fridge.
