Egg Roll in a Bowl is a quick one pan meal that is loaded with protein and veggies. You can serve it alone or along side some rice, which is a favorite of most in my family! It's packed with veggies and flavor and is perfect for a weeknight meal or meal prep.
This is perfect for those busy nights!
If you need more quick weeknight meals be sure and check out Chicken with Tomatoes or Honey Lime Chicken Thighs, both are quick and healthy.
Ingredients
This may look like a lot of ingredients, but it comes together quickly and most you just have in your fridge and pantry already!
*See recipe card for quantities.
Substitutions
I like to use ground turkey as my animal protein source. However, I add some ground pork as well. I like to buy a pound of ground pork then before I freeze I cut it into ⅓s or ¼s and put those sections in a freezer bag. That way I can add a little pork to my ground turkey recipes for extra flavor!
- Cabbage - I shred my own just because I like my pieces a little thicker-using bagged shredded cabbage is a great option.
- Water Chestnuts - These can be omitted easily if you don't like the crunch or forget them at the store!
- Rice - I serve my Egg Roll in a Bowl with rice and usually a light fried rice. However, I am usually feeding grown teenage boys! This can be omitted or served with cauliflower rice!
Variations
- Spicy - add chili pepper flakes while cooking to add heat into the dish
- Deluxe - add baby corn or snow peas
Storage
This holds well in the fridge for 3 days! It is actually a great meal prep item!
Top Tip
I add my carrots first and get them started. I do not cook my cabbage long as I like it crisp tender.
