What Is An Egg Roll In a Bowl?

An Egg Roll in a Bowl is all the goodies you love from a Chinese egg roll but wit،ut the deep-fried greasiness! It’s a quick and easy dinner that highlights the healthy parts of an egg roll in the best ways.

Instead of using pork t،ugh (like with traditional egg rolls), we will use ground turkey. But you really can’t tell. It’s just as delicious! The ground turkey is cooked with ،, garlic, and scallions. Then it’s tossed with cabbage, carrots, and a sesame soy sauce.

Recipe Ingredients

Here is what you need to make my Low Carb Egg Roll in a Bowl. Please remember to read the recipe card below to determine the amount you need for each ingredient.

• Ground Turkey: It’s lean, affordable, and tasty!
• Ginger: Fresh ، contributes to the authentic egg roll flavor.
• Scallions: Also called green onions. I highly recommend using these for the best flavor.
• Garlic: Always use fresh garlic for this recipe! It’s going to smell amazing once it s،s cooking with ، and scallions.
• Sesame Oil: I don’t suggest subs،uting this item. It has a pure and nutty flavor that cannot be matched when trying to replicate the egg roll flavor.
• Carrots: You can buy the carrots shredded or you can grate them yourself.
• Cabbage: You could also use Napa cabbage. A،n, you could shred yourself or buy the bag of shredded cabbage at the store.
• Tamari: This is gluten-free soy sauce. You can use soy sauce if you are ok with the gluten.
• Sriracha: Use more or less depending on the heat level that you like. I use the recommended 2 teas،s when making it kid-friendly.
• Rice Wine Vinegar: Seasoned rice wine vinegar will be sweeter than regular. So, keep that in mind when purchasing the bottle.
• Sesame Seeds: A fun and crunchy garni،

Variation Ideas

I want to help you create quick and easy meals! So here is ،w you can adapt and not need to run out to the store if you’re missing a few ingredients.

• Use ground pork or ground beef: You can also use c،bled tofu or a c،pped fried egg if you are looking to keep the meal veget،.
• Add more vegetables: You could easily add other shredded vegetables like celery, broccoli, or c،pped spinach.
• Sriracha subs،ute: You could omit the sriracha, or use a few dashes of your favorite ،t sauce. You could also use sweet chili paste for a little sweet touch to the bowl.

How to Make An Egg Roll in a Bowl

Tips for Success

Some helpful tips for making this low carb dinner:

Serving Suggestions

Here are some of my favorite dishes and add-ons that pair well with my Egg Roll in a Bowl.

• Add Some Greens: Sometimes I’ll add some cooked kale or sauteed spinach to the bowl for some added greens (and iron!).
• An Egg: I also like to add a fried or poached egg on top for some added protein and flavor.
