Egg Roll in a Bowl Recipe
A healthier version of a traditional Asian dish this stir fry has all the flavor of an egg roll without the extra carbs from the roll and calories from the deep-fried fat. You can further modify this recipe to lower its sodium or eliminate carbs based on your own dietary needs. Some variations I have tried and liked are: add mushrooms and Zucchini noodlesNo Chinese Five Spice? Thats okay add in a little Allspice and Ginger and this still tastes amazing. This is a perfect meal-prep meal since it can be eaten reheated or served cold over zoodles. Approximate Cost Per Serving: $1.50

Notes
We typically use pork in this recipe, however, we have mixed ground pork and ground turkey. Ground chicken, shrimp, or tofu would also be a good main ingredient in this recipe.
We also like to add a little bit of extra shredded cabbage that is less wilted to give it more crunch.
We garnish with green onion (optional)
