Move over 40 Aprons, Skinnytaste and Pioneer Woman! This is the best healthy egg roll in a bowl recipe. It is one of my go-to 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 bell peppers, and has the most delicious sauce that is made with either soy sauce or coconut aminos plus the perfect blend of spices. Everyone I have served this to so far has loved this recipe and I hope you do too.

Why you will love this recipe: 

• This recipe is so quick and easy and is ready to enjoy in just 30 minutes!
• The homemade sauce that pulls this egg roll in a bowl together has the most incredible flavour! Plus it’s super easy to make.
• This recipe is a fun and healthy way to enjoy the delicious flavor of a traditional egg roll, just without the deep fried coating. 
• It is packed with fresh vegetables, including coleslaw mix (or shredded cabbage), carrots, green onion and bell pepper.
• This egg roll in a bowl makes great leftovers so it’s a great meal prep option.
• This inside out egg roll in a bowl recipe is gluten free, paleo and can easily be made Whole30 compliant too.

Key ingredients and substitutions:

• Coleslaw – you could shred your own cabbage or buy pre-shredded coleslaw mix at the store to make this recipe even easier to make. 
• Green onion – to add a little kick and depth of flavour to the dish. Also, onion and cabbage are a fantastic combination when cooked down. You could swap this for white onion or yellow onion. 
• Protein – Chef’s choice! 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 – high in protein and rich in healthy fats, sunflower seeds are a great nutritious addition to this dish. They also give this egg roll in a bowl a nice crunch!
• Cooking oil – I went with coconut oil because of its high smoke point and for some additional healthy fats but you could use another oil such as avocado oil or olive oil too. 
• Ginger and honey – these two ingredients give the sauce a gorgeously subtle spicy and sweet flavour!

How to make this recipe: 

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 or 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 cooked through, stirring frequently to break the meat apart and ensure it cooks though. 

Step three: 

Now add the chopped bell peppers and green onion to the pan and cook for ~5 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!

Tips and variations:

• This recipe is very versatile – use whatever type of ground meat that you like including ground beef, ground chicken, ground turkey or 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 a Whole30 egg roll in a bowl.
• Instead of coconut aminos you can use soy sauce instead to make the sauce. 
• You can either shred your own cabbage for this recipe or use a store bought coleslaw mix.
• You could omit the sunflower seeds from this recipe or swap them with another type of seed or nut of your choice.
• I recommend serving this dish with a slotted spoon to help drain off any of the extra liquid.

Serving ideas: 

• Add some bean sprouts just before you serve this recipe to give it a bit more flavour and texture. 
• Top it with chopped or crushed nuts such as cashew or peanuts. 
• Add a little fresh cilantro. 
• Top it with avocado for even more flavour and healthy fats. 

How to store: 

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