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.

  1. I like this recipe but I'm wondering: why is it called 'an egg roll'? I expected a roll I think?

    1. I 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!

  2. Now I want an egg roll (vegetarian, though). I haven't had one in forever!

  3. I first started making egg roll in a bowl based on Holly blog as well! I have found a few other recipes for it online and have tweaked the original recipe some. I like all of your additions, especially the pineapple. I may just have to try yours!

  4. I made this so much a few years ago! I love your additions and that might make me want to make it again. I also overdid the burrito bowl - lol. I love pineapple in Asian and Mexican dishes for some reason. So good!
