How To Make Egg Roll in a Bowl
It’s like an egg roll without the deep fried wrapper!
Why You’ll Love this Egg Roll in a Bowl Recipe
- Healthy. This Asian-inspired supper has all of the flavors that you love in a classic egg roll filling, without any of the deep fat frying. It’s just a big, beautiful skillet full of fresh vegetables and lean protein stir-fried in a savory sauce. Keep it low carb for a weight watchers friendly option, or add some rice or noodles on the side for a more filling meal — you choose!
- Easy. In typical fashion, I’ve managed to create a recipe that requires almost zero prep time! With help from a bag of coleslaw mix and a bag of matchstick carrots, you don’t even have to pull out a cutting board or a knife for this dinner. Tip — use kitchen shears to snip the green onions right over the skillet. Again, no knife or cutting board necessary! It’s a perfect 30-minute meal for busy weeknights.
- One Skillet. We can all appreciate a dinner that cooks in a single pan, which means fewer dishes to wash at the end.
- Versatile. Use this recipe as a base, but make it your own. For example, it works well with any ground meat. Ground pork is our favorite, but it’s also great with ground turkey, ground chicken, ground beef, and ground sausage. Add a little bit more hoisin sauce for a sweeter, richer flavor, or add extra veggies like sliced mushrooms, baby corn, or sliced water chestnuts.
