Egg Roll in a Bowl Recipe
Meal Prep MadeA 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
