I can't wait for you to make this healthy egg roll in a bowl recipe. It is one of my go-to easy dinner recipes that is perfect for meal planning or busy weeknight meals. It's full of flavour, filled with veggies including coleslaw mix or shredded cabbage, and has the most delicious sauce.

If you love easy meals you will also love my one pot meat sauce, one pan teriyaki chicken and vegetables, and one pan tuna fried rice.

Key ingredients and substitutions:

You should be able to find these simple ingredients at your local grocery store. For the full ingredient list and exact measurements refer to the recipe card at the bottom of the post. 

• Shredded cabbage and carrots – I prefer to make this recipe as easy as possible by using a pre-shredded coleslaw mix from the store but you could also shred your own cabbage and carrots if you wish. 
• Green onions – to add a little kick and depth of flavour to the dish. You could swap this for white onion or yellow onion. 
• Ground meat - I suggest using ground pork, ground chicken, ground turkey or ground beef. You could even use shrimp if you prefer. 
• Bell pepper - to add some fresh flavour and texture to the dish. You can use any color of sweet bell peppers that you like for this recipe. 
• Sunflower seeds - these give this egg roll in a bowl a nice bit of crunch! Instead of sunflower seeds you could use sesame seeds instead.
• Coconut aminos - the base of the delicious asian sauce on this recipe is coconut aminos. Instead of coconut aminos you could use soy sauce or low sodium soy sauce but just note that soy sauce is not gluten free. 
• Raw honey - to help give the delicious sauce just a little bit of sweetness. You could swap this for pure maple syrup instead.
• Coconut vinegar - to add the perfect tangy contrast to the sweetness of the sauce. Instead of coconut vinegar you can use rice vinegar or apple cider vinegar too.
• Fish sauce - to add the perfect umami taste to the sauce on this dish.
• Seasonings and spices - ground ginger, sea salt, ground black pepper, ground turmeric and fresh garlic all combine perfectly to help give the sauce the most incredible flavour.

How to make (step-by-step):

Step one:

To make the sauce, place all the sauce ingredients in a large bowl or glass measuring cup and whisk together until smooth.

Step two:

Next, place a large pan, large skillet or large wok on the stove and turn it on to medium heat and add the coconut oil. Once the oil is melted, add the ground meat and cook until it is brown and cooked through, stirring frequently to break the meat apart and ensure it cooks evenly. 

Step three:

Now add the chopped bell peppers and green onion to the pan with the cooked meat and cook together for approximately 5 more minutes.

Step four:

Then add the coleslaw mix and sunflower seeds to the skillet and cook for an additional 5 minutes.

Step five:

Lastly, add the sauce to the pan and mix everything well. Cook for an additional 5-10 minutes, until the vegetables are the texture you desire. Then, use a slotted spoon to serve and enjoy!

Recipe variations and add ins:

• This healthy egg roll bowl is very versatile - use whatever type of ground meat that you like including lean ground beef, lean ground chicken, lean ground turkey or lean ground pork. You could also make this recipe with shrimp or omit the meat altogether to make it vegetarian. 
• If you are on a Whole30 diet omit the honey from the recipe to make this into a Whole30 egg roll in a bowl.
• Instead of coconut aminos you can use soy sauce to make the sauce. 
• You could omit the sunflower seeds from this recipe or swap them with another type of seed or nut of your choice such as sesame seeds, peanuts, or chopped cashews.
• Instead of using a bag of coleslaw mix you could use broccoli slaw instead. You could also add extra vegetables such as celery or zucchini. It's a great way to use up veggies that you have in the fridge. 
• If you want this easy egg roll recipe to have a little spice or extra flavor add 1/2 teaspoon of red pepper flakes to the sauce. 

How to serve:

This easy recipe is delicious served as is for an easy weeknight meal but you could also serve it over white rice, brown rice, or cauliflower rice to make it even more filling.

You can also top this dish with different ingredients including fresh bean sprouts, fresh cilantro, sliced avocado or different nuts to give it a different flavour and more texture.

Feel free to top it with your favourite sauce such as hot sauce, sweet chili sauce, sweet and sour sauce, hoisin sauce, sriracha sauce, or spicy mayo for even more flavour!

How to store: 

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. 

I don't recommend trying to freeze this dish as the coleslaw or cabbage will get rather mushy when it's thawed.
