Egg Roll Bowl

by MJ

If you love egg rolls you’ll love this healthier and low carb version. All the delicious flavors of eggs rolls without the need for frying and comes together quickly in one pan in under 20 minutes.

The filling includes the same ingredients with ground meat, vegetables and seasonings. But instead of wrapping and frying each egg roll, add as much meat and vegetables you want to devour in one pan, guilt free. I added the water chestnuts for crunch but feel free to omit it.

There are many ways to enjoy this low carb and delicious dish:

  • Sauté mushrooms or add meat alternative for a vegetarian option.
  • To save time, use a bag of coleslaw mix to replace the cabbage and carrot.
  • Serve it plain, serve as a bowl over rice or as a wrap with lettuce leaves.
  • Sauté with eggs for a hearty breakfast with leftovers
