Getting the Most Protein in Your Egg Roll Bowl

To make this recipe truly high in protein, opt for lean ground turkey, chicken, or even extra-lean ground beef. You can also add a handful of shelled edamame or a softly scrambled egg for an extra protein boost. Stir-fry the meat until fully cooked before mixing in vegetables and sauce so you get a hearty, satisfying base that anchors the flavor-packed bowl.

How to Assemble and Customize Your Egg Roll In A Bowl

After preparing your protein, quickly sauté the veggies—pre-shredded coleslaw mix is both convenient and nutritious. Add aromatic garlic, ginger, and the signature sauce ingredients, letting everything simmer together for deep flavor. Top with green onions, a sprinkle of sesame seeds, or a dash of sriracha for zing. Serve hot as is, or over steamed cauliflower rice for an even bigger nutrient boost.

Serving Suggestions to Make It a Complete Meal

This bowl is delicious and filling on its own, but you can personalize it with additions like brown rice, quinoa, or a side of roasted broccoli for more fiber. For meal prep, portion into containers and garnish just before serving to preserve the vibrant crunch and flavor.
