Egg Roll in a Bowl is a REAL thing! I have had some unhealthy versions down through the years. S0 since I have started my weight loss journey I have tried the same recipe over and over but I have never found a recipe for Egg Roll in a Bowl that I love. And trust me, I have tried them all, LOL. I decided to make up my own. The 21 Day Fix or the 2B Mindset both stress getting a large number of vegetables. Being able to get as many veggies into one dish as you can is a plus!
Plus I really like this dish because it doesn’t involve any of my precious yellow containers. As a matter of fact, it only uses red and green containers and a few teaspoons.
What goes into Egg Roll in a Bowl?
One of the reasons I wanted to perfect this recipe is because it is so versatile. I can use fresh ingredients or just a large bag of premade slaw mix. About 8 cups of shredded veggies. Cabbage, carrot, onions, and garlic is what I have here. But I have added bell peppers and cauliflower rice to it sometimes to make a full 8 cups.
You can use your choice of meats too. Lean ground beef, turkey, or chicken all work fine. I have even cubed up my chicken or turkey and made it chunky. Today I used ground turkey. I found it on sale the other day for 99 cents an lb, so I bought 10 pounds!! I never turn away from a bargain like that. 
While I was batch cooking it, I browned the meat in an olive oil sprayed skillet till done and then drain it. Set it aside, then wipe out the skillet then add sesame oil, and heat it. Add the veggies and toss stirfry style until the veggies start to turn soft and are translucent. 
Then I added 5-6 Red containers of the meat back into the pan, gave it a stir, and added my sauce. I cooked it till the liquid was gone and served it HOT!
About that sauce…
The sauce is again a matter of personal choice like more pepper flakes or less ginger sure that is up to you… I just put in what I liked most of the time but heat is the thing I add more of sometimes. To serve it I just divide my pan full into 4ths and have 1/4 as a serving size.

What different ways can you use it?
One of the ways I like to reheat this for a quick lunch is to stuff it into a bell pepper and put it in my steamer and cook the pepper as the filling heats up…YUMMY and mostly veggies for any of the 2B readers that might be reading!
3 minutes under pressure in my Instant Pot and the pepper is tender-crisp just how I like it. You can adjust the cooking time for just how you like it! Fast release and enjoy!
I have even stuffed it into a pita half with some sliced cucumber and it was delish!
I hope you enjoy it!

*I updated this recipe from tamari sauce to coconut aminos. I have done further research into sodium content and feel like the aminos will be a better fit for my 21 Day Fix goals. This brand is the lowest sodium I have found. 25mg per teaspoon.

Love this recipe! Easy to make, super yummy, and very filling. Just curious, but if you were to measure 1 portion, how many cups would it be? It seems like large portions, but I may be measuring 1/4 of the pan incorrectly. Thanks for sharing these wonderful recipes!
Yes, it is a very large serving. I don’t give a “cup” measure because when you make it the amount is a little different. Cabbage cooks down differently depending on how “moist” it is. A bag of slaw mix is a lot drier than grated fresh cabbage. So dividing the pan in 1/4’s seemed to be the most accurate way of getting 1 1/2 Red and 2 Green containers in each serving. Enjoy that big serving!
Hello again! I forgot to ask what size pan you use for this recipe. Still a favorite of mine!
Is this recipe 1 and a half red per serving or half a red per serving it states both counts in the recipe? Just before I make it, thanks
I am sorry in all this time I never noticed my typo in the text of my recipe. 1 1/2 lbs of meat are 6 Red containers. The container count on the recipe card is correct.
