Our Egg Roll Bowl recipe is an easy dish with a lot of flavor. This is a way to enjoy the flavor of traditional egg rolls but turn it into a healthy dinner. With nothing fried, this is a quick dinner, too, with the full recipe being made in less than 30 minutes. It's the perfect solution on a busy weeknight!
Egg Roll Bowls are a tasty combination of the spiciness of sriracha, with the nuttiness of sesame oil, and strong flavor of soy sauce, ginger, garlic, and more. Even though this is made with simple ingredients, you still get the complex flavors of an egg roll, without the extra hassle of an egg roll wrapper and frying.
We love to use ground chicken for its lean flavor but you can use a ground meat of your choice. Using ground pork will make this more traditional of an egg roll but you can use ground turkey or beef are great choices too. Increase the sriracha or add in red pepper flakes to really turn up the heat!
