Healthy Egg Roll in a Bowl (2024)

We’re back with a new quick, easy, and high protein meal prep! This Healthy Egg Roll in a Bowl is one of those recipes that takes around 10 minutes to make, is super filling, great for volume eating, fairly low carb, and actually tastes good.

Start this one with a large stovetop pan or skillet and 1 pound of your choice lean meat. I’m using ground chicken today but lean ground beef, turkey, and pork are great choices too.

All you need to do from here is to add 1 tablespoon of olive oil into your pan or skillet and brown whatever meat you’re using over medium heat.

As it’s browning, add in 1 tablespoon of minced garlic, 1/2 chopped up sweet onion, and a little pepper for seasoning. Keep it moving and do your best to break your meat up at as small as possible, this should take around 5-7 minutes.

A quick tip here if you don’t like garlic or onion? Don’t add them! Alternatively, if you want something else in your bowl like chopped up mushrooms in it? Add those in with any other vegetables you want.

Once browned turn your burner down to low heat.

Egg Roll Filling

Add in a bag of coleslaw mix, 4 ounces of shredded carrots, 1 tablespoon of rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon of sesame oil, 2 ounces of a low sodium soy sauce, and 1 teaspoon of ground ginger.

For even more flavor although not needed, 2 tablespoons of sweet and sour, hoisin, teriyaki, or oyster sauce work great! Below in the recipe card will be calorie breakdowns for each egg roll in a bowl with and without this.

Give all of those ingredients a mix.

Let everything cook on low heat for 5-10 minutes or until your desired tenderness. Do your best to keep it moving as often as possible so everything heats up evenly!

Here is where you can optionally add in whatever you want. I usually go with some chopped up green onion, sesame seeds, and a little hot sauce for a spicy egg roll in a bowl. I’ll occasionally add in a couple chopped up hard boiled eggs too!

This is also pretty low carb. If you want it more macro balanced you can throw in some rice or even use the mix in a wrap for an extra large egg roll!

Bowl Reheating

I usually make 2 egg roll bowls out of this. The first bowl I’ll eat immediately and the next one will be eaten the following day.

To reheat it, depending on my time schedule, I’ll either throw it in the microwave or low and slow on the stovetop.

• For the microwave, :20-30 seconds at a time. Mix and repeat until hot enough.
• For the stovetop, mix it around over low heat until hot enough. Add a little more sauce if it appears to be too dry.
