I’ve been seeing these Egg Roll Bowls around the internet for a bit and have been dying to try it out. I mean I love egg rolls (who doesn’t?) and honestly, I prefer most of my meals in a bowl anyway. This allows for maximum scoopability, you see. These days mama needs to be able to eat in .324 seconds before one of the babies has a melt down. It’s inevitable at this point.
Did I mention that you can basically make this whole thing in one skillet? Yep, it’s got easy clean up too.
The premise of this recipe hooked me at first because it seems like a great way to use those storage veggies like cabbage and carrots. Eating seasonally means that these guys are pretty much the basis of our diet this time of year. I love that it packs a lot of flavor, and shredding the veggies makes them palatable for my toddler too. He ate basically his body weight in egg roll bowl when we fed it to him. I don’t blame him one bit. Chuck and I also basically ate our weight in it and were happy I made a double batch for leftovers.
I served this with sides of broccoli, peas, and rice to mix in, because you know I love to add more veggies when I can. However, I think just a side of rice, our riced veggies would be plenty.
I’ve also made a vegetarian version by swapping the ground pork for mushrooms. You could absolutely use a ground meat replacement, like walnut meat, or tofu, but mushrooms are easy. We like easy and it was still delicious.
