Our Family's Egg Roll in a Bowl Recipe
I first saw an egg roll in a bowl on Holly's blog and we followed her recipe exactly but as time went on I started adding other things to our recipe so while I'm sure it's not really an egg roll in a bowl recipe with our additions the name stuck. We do like the addition of more fruits and veggies and I hope you do too!
Ingredients: Makes 4 very large servings if eating by itself 6 servings if you serve it over rice.
1.3 lbs ground lean turkey (or beef/chicken/tofu crumbles)
1 small onion; chopped
2 cloves garlic; minced
1/2 head of cabbage; shredded (about 6 cups)
1 cup shredded carrot
2 cups pineapple chunks
1 cup sliced mushrooms
1 handful pea pods
2 Tablespoons soy sauce or coconut aminos
1 Tablespoon ginger
1 pinch of red pepper flakes or 1 tsp hoisin sauce
Optional cooked rice to serve it over
First I cook up the ground turkey with the garlic and onion until the turkey is cooked through and the onions are nice and soft.
Then I add in shredded cabbage, fresh pineapple, pea pods, and even some mushrooms. I give it a good stir.
Then I add in all the seasonings: the ginger, the coconut aminos, the red pepper flakes or hoisin sauce.
I almost always serve it with/over some sort of rice or riced cauliflower; though I am perfectly happy to eat just the "filling."
The filling by itself is zero points on weight watchers for 4 servings. So with a cup of rice it's just 5 points for the whole meal. It's very filling too.

I like this recipe but I'm wondering: why is it called 'an egg roll'? I expected a roll I think?
ReplyDeleteI think it's named that way because it takes what would be the filling of an egg roll and uses just that as a meal... but I've honestly never eaten an actual egg roll so I'm not entirely sure!
