Egg Roll in a Bowl

Egg rolls are normally made by wrapping ground chicken and shredded vegetables in thin phyllo sheets and then frying them. The version of egg rolls in this recipe is much healthier and just as tasty! There’s no frying involved here, and you get the addition of sauce right in the bowl. 

Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Add the chicken, onion, garlic, ginger, salt, and pepper.

Sauté until cooked through.

We recently tried this recipe using Hot Smoked Salmon instead of chicken and it was amazing!

Stir to mix.

Stir in the coleslaw mix and continue cooking until the cabbage has softened.

Top with green onions before serving.
