Egg Roll In A Bowl
This dish is such a great way to still enjoy an egg roll while being carb & calorie conscious! I used ground turkey as a healthier, leaner meat alternative but feel free to use pork or beef if you want it to be more traditional. One of the best parts about this meal is that it is so quick and easy and you will not be spending an hour rolling up egg rolls!!

Ingredients

- Green Onions - 4-5 green onions, diced (whites only).
- Ginger - 1/2 teaspoons ginger, minced.
- Cabbage - 3/4 of a large head of cabbage, chopped.
- Carrots - 1 cup of shredded carrots.
- Soy Sauce - 1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce or coconut aminos for a soy free option.
- Sesame Oil - 2 teaspoons of sesame seed oil.
- Rice Vinegar - 4 teaspoons of rice vinegar.
- Garlic Salt - To taste
- Pepper - To taste
- Onion Powder - To taste
- Sesame Seeds - To taste
- Sriracha Sauce/Sweet Chili Sauce - To taste for topping, optional.
No Egg?
I couldn't even count how many times I have been asked this question! Contrary to the popular belief, eggs are not in traditional egg rolls. Feel free to add some scrambled eggs in here if you would like though, I bet it would be delicious! The only egg in traditional egg rolls is the egg wash used to seal the egg roll wraps together.
Instructions
- Heat up a large wok over medium/high heat. Add your ground turkey and cook until just starting to brown. Season with garlic salt, onion powder, and pepper to taste.
- Add in the onion, whites of the green onions, garlic, and ginger. Continue to cook until the meat is fully browned, about two minutes.
- Add in your carrots and cabbage. Cook until your desired level of doneness. I like mine to be a little crunchy still so I cook mine for about 4 additional minutes.
- Pour in your sesame seed oil, rice vinegar, and soy sauce. Reduce the heat to low. Add any additional seasonings and simmer.
- Serve and enjoy!

How To Store Leftovers
You can store your leftovers in the fridge in airtight containers for up to 4 days. I would not recommend freezing this meal because of the cabbage.
My favorite food storage containers are by the brand Razab. I do giveaways with them and truly love their products so much. All of their containers are BPA free, oven safe, freezer safe, dishwasher save, and have steam release valves! You can find them on Amazon here.
