HEALTHY EGG ROLL IN A BOWL RECIPE

WHY THIS IS THE BEST HEALTHY EGG ROLL IN A BOWL RECIPE:

• This recipe 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 shredded cabbage (or coleslaw mix), carrots, green onion and bell pepper!
• Store leftovers in the fridge in an airtight container and enjoy for up to 5 days!
• This inside out egg roll in a bowl recipe is gluten free, paleo and can easily be made Whole30 compliant!

KEY INGREDIENTS FOR MAKING THIS INSIDE OUT EGG ROLL:

• Coleslaw – you could shred your own cabbage or buy pre-shredded coleslaw mix at the store, like me! 
• 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. 
• Protein – Chef’s choice! I suggest using ground pork, chicken, turkey or beef. 
• Bell pepper – to add some fresh flavour and texture to the dish. 
• 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 sesame oil or olive oil too. 
• Ginger and honey – these two ingredients give the sauce a gorgeously subtle spicy and sweet flavour!

TIPS AND VARIATIONS FOR THIS EGG ROLL IN A BOWL RECIPE: 

• This recipe is very versatile – use whatever type of ground meat that you like including ground beef, ground chicken, ground turkey or ground pork.
• If you are on a Whole30 diet omit the honey from the recipe.
• Instead of coconut aminos you can use soy sauce instead 
• You can either shred your own cabbage for this recipe or use a store bought coleslaw mix (that’s what I do!)
• 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.
