While Eggroll in a Bowl is generally made from fresh vegetables and meat, this easy to do recipe is made from mostly dehydrated ingredients. You can add it to your selection of Meals in a Jar to create quick and easy meals for your family’s busy nights.

It also tastes really great, can be customized, and makes the perfect on-the-go meal for hiking and camping or just a quick meal at home.

Learning how to use your dehydrated foods can be daunting. This can be a great first meal in a jar recipe for the beginner as it is easy to dry, easy to put together, and easy to prepare.

Each ingredient will be linked to a tutorial on how to dehydrate the fresh vegetable or meat.

Ingredient Tips

  • Dried Cabbage – Can use packaged and dried cole slaw mix
  • Dried Ground Beef – Can substitute with freeze-dried ground beef for the shelf stable recipe, or use fresh or frozen ground beef, chicken, sausage or tofu during cooking.
  • Dried Carrots – you can substitute or just use other vegetables to add to the mix
  • Dried Onions
  • Soy Sauce – can use soy sauce powder or Liquid Coconut Aminos, Hoisin sauce, Oyster sauce, or any combination of them.

*Note – cabbage and carrots should be blanched before dehydrating (See instructions on each linked above), but for very short-term use, it’s fine to skip that step).

Storage Instructions

  1. Layer ground beef, dry seasonings, onions, carrots, and cabbage in a quart jar.
  2. Place lid on jar.
  3. Vacuum seal if desired. I use this handheld vacuum sealer.
  4. Place the ring on the lid and store it for up to six months.*

*Dehydrated ground beef is generally not a reliable shelf-stable ingredient. However, I’ve been able to store 90/10 ground beef on my shelf, dehydrated, for at least ten months without issue. If you choose to store the ground beef separately in the freezer, you can still pull out enough for the recipe, store in a bag, and use on your trip or in your meal for that night.

Cooking Instructions

These instructions are using dried ground beef. If you are using fresh meat, cook it thoroughly before starting with the rest of the steps.

  1. Add water to a 10- or 12-inch skillet.
  2. Add jar ingredients to the skillet.
  3. Add additional wet ingredients to the skillet.
  4. Stir to incorporate all the ingredients.
  5. Place a lid on the skillet and allow to steam for five minutes, then stir ingredients again, and cover again.
  6. Repeat the previous step until the consistency of your dried vegetable ingredients is achieved. You may prefer a bit crunchy or you may prefer softer.
  7. Serve in a bowl with your favorite garnishes.

Garnish Ideas

  • Pickled ginger
