If you love the taste of Chinese food, this Deconstructed Egg Roll in a Bowl will quickly become a favourite. This one skillet meal is perfect for a weeknight, when you feel like take-out, but you know you should eat healthy and cook at home.
It literally takes minutes to make this and it’s so much better for you.
All the flavours of Chinese food (think deep fried egg roll), minus the MSG, gluten and not-so-good for you oils that go hand in hand with take-out. Sauteed ground pork (you could use ground beef, chicken or turkey), with ginger, tamari sauce (a GF soy sauce-you could use regular soy sauce too), shredded cabbage, carrots, peas, green onions with eggs scrambled in. I used the pre-shredded cabbage in a bag that’s meant to make coleslaw. It’s perfect time saving kitchen hack.
This is one of the tastiest meals ever. It could feed 4 people. But it’s so good that you’ll likely want seconds.
Naturally gluten free, dairy free, low carb, paleo friendly.
