How to Make Egg Roll in a Bowl
This is an overview on how to make egg roll in a bowl stir fry, the detailed instructions can be found below in the recipe card.
FAQs
Do I have to shop at Trader Joe’s?
No! You can make egg roll in a bowl from any store. The goyza dipping sauce is from Trader Joe’s, but you can really use any Asian stir-fry sauce OR make your own.
Do I have to make this with ground pork?
No! You can really use any ground meat – ground turkey, chicken, and beef would all work. I don’t recommend 99% fat-free, as it doesn’t have as delicious flavor and it’s very easy to overcook and will taste dry.
How many calories in egg roll in a bowl?
The full nutrition stats can be found below the recipe, but there are an estimated 379 calories per serving, which is why I recommend adding a side or two – it’s not really enough for a full meal!
Storage Instructions
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 days.
How to reheat
Reheat this healthy egg roll in a bowl in the microwave or a hot skillet until heated through.
Can you freeze egg roll in a bowl?
Yes, you can freeze leftover egg roll in a bowl for 2-3 months. Let thaw overnight before reheating in the microwave or a hot skillet until heated through.
What to Serve with Egg Roll in a Bowl
I believe that the origins of this meal came from a desire to have egg roll flavors in a low-carb form. I’m not low carb, but I love these flavors (and love how simple this meal is!) so I serve it with carbs. 🙂 You can serve with:
- Rice or cauliflower rice
- Potstickers or dirty gyoza
- Wonton soup
- Asian-style appetizers (wontons, egg rolls, etc.)
How to Feed Egg Roll in a Bowl to the Whole Family
I get it, feeding kids can be tough! But following the Division of Responsibility and knowing your job and your child’s job makes it SO much more enjoyable. You’ll be able to feed your kids any meal, which will help ensure that they are eating a variety of nutritious foods – with plenty of play food sprinkled in.
I would recommend serving a small portion in a pinch bowl (taster bowl) if it’s a new or learning-to-like it food. Serve the meal with a few items you know your kids will eat, like fruit, milk, and/or bread and butter. My kids have always loved this meal as it’s a delicious stir fry!
