Why should you make this egg roll in a bowl recipe?
Egg roll in a bowl recipe: This deconstructed egg roll is an easy, nutrient-dense meal that can be thrown together quickly and is a great way to get lots of vegetables! You get the tasty inside of an egg roll without the deep fried shell. Throw it over rice for a complete meal or leave out the rice for a low carbohydrate option. I used beef in this recipe but pork is used most often for egg rolls.
