Meat
Make this skillet egg roll with the ground meat you like. Try ground turkey egg roll in a bowl, or opt for heartier deconstructed egg roll bowls using ground beef and ground pork. Just drain the meat if you used pork or beef, as they’re greasier than chicken.
Flavor enhancers
Looking to give your chicken egg roll bowl extra oomph? Experiment with add-ins like honey, chili garlic paste, or five-spice powder. They all pair well with this meal’s Asian flavors.
Vegetables
Make this healthy egg roll in a bowl recipe even more wholesome! Some satisfying additions are bean sprouts, canned water chestnuts, and mushrooms.
Tips For Making This Recipe
Toppings to try
This chicken egg roll in a bowl is begging for loads of toppings! You can enjoy it with wonton strips, chopped peanuts, chopped cilantro, and a drizzle of gochujang dressing.
Don’t Overcook the Veggies
Adjust the cook time as needed! You want the slaw mix to be wilted but still have some crunch.
Storage Tips
Once cooled, transfer your healthy chicken egg roll to an airtight container and refrigerate for 3 to 5 days. To serve, reheat over medium heat for 5 to 10 minutes.
Deconstructed Egg Roll Bowl Recipe FAQs
What are common mistakes when making egg roll in a bowl?
Some common mistakes when making this chicken egg roll in a bowl recipe include overcooking the vegetables, not using another oil for cooking the aromatics (sesame oil is best used toward the end because it has a low smoke point), and opting for powdered aromatics instead of fresh, so you’re not getting maximum flavor.
Is egg roll in a bowl healthy?
Yes, especially since it’s made with vegetables and ground chicken. You can even tweak the wrapperless egg rolls and make them low-carb or vegan!
Can I use chicken thighs instead of ground chicken?
Of course! Just dice your boneless, skinless chicken thighs so every spoonful gets some chicken.
What goes with egg roll in a bowl?
While soy sauce is our top pick, you can try other teriyaki sauce, hot sauce, or hoisin sauce for your egg roll in a bowl.
Can I freeze egg roll in a bowl?
Yes. Once cooled, transfer your deconstructed chicken egg roll to a freezer-safe container and freeze for up to 2 months.
