Eggroll in a Bowl – A Made-for-Memories Weeknight Classic
Back in the day—remember those magical nights when we could gather and laugh with other moms? My friend Jess organized a recipe club where everyone would bring a dish along with cards to exchange. I found myself loading my plate, snapping recipe pics, and falling in love with one particular dish: Eggroll in a Bowl.
I hadn’t had a real egg roll in ages (gluten-free life, you know), and I honestly didn’t think I’d care. But this concept blew me away. All the flavor, none of the frying—and no collapsing into a soggy shell. I raced to the store the next day, whipped it up for my family, and… it was a hit. Reheated even better. Before long, I was practically making it on repeat, tweaking it along the way.
It’s perfect for customizing—mix in cauliflower rice, skip the jasmine rice if you’re low-carb, or load it with tasty toppings. My husband stirs in cashews and avocado; I sneak in extra veggies for volume. Double the batch, and you’ll thank yourself later. It’s a win for weeknight dinners, meal prep, or simply feeding hungry bellies fast.
Ingredients
(Serves 4, or double for leftovers!)
1 lb 93% lean ground turkey
8 oz coleslaw mix
5 oz sliced mushrooms
2 tbsp coconut aminos
1 tbsp puréed ginger
1 tsp salt
2 cups cooked jasmine rice (or skip for low-carb)
Optional Toppings
Sliced green onions, roasted cashew pieces, sriracha
Directions
1. Cook the jasmine rice according to package or in a rice cooker.
2. Spray a skillet with a little avocado cooking spray. Over medium heat, brown the ground turkey until fully cooked, then drain and return to the pan.
3. Stir in the ginger and salt—sauté for 2 minutes. Add coconut aminos, mushrooms, and cabbage. Sauté for 3 minutes, then cover with a lid and cook for another 3 until the cabbage softens.
4. Plate over rice (or your favorite base), and finish with green onions, cashews, and a drizzle of sriracha.
