Low Carb Rainbow Egg Roll Bowls

This bowlis healthier and easier to make than the actual egg rolls, which means less time cooking and more time eating! And on that note, I will cheers to that!

Now, more often than not, I find myself getting stuck in that rut of “what should I make for dinner”. Do you? If I were to take a guess, I bet it happens more often than not. The struggles comes from wanting it to be healthy, but still deliciously flavorful, not require a ton of effort and more importantly clean up at the end. I totally get it!

So, with that being said, you can wash all of those worries away because this Rainbow Egg Roll Bowl has come to the rescue! It is a quick, low carb meal that has all of the flavors of a traditional egg roll but requires half of the work. It is a one stop shop because the whole meal gets cooked in one pan! I know what you’re thinking...”UM. Excuse me? What?” And Yep! You definitely just read that right. One pan meal, easy, low carb, minimal clean up and still extremely tasty! I love all of those things and for that reason I will forever love one pan meals, they get me through all of my weeks.

About the Dish: 

This dish came about because I currently have a Filipino Egg Roll (Lumpia Shanghai) recipe that has been in our family for many years. I shared it in a previous post on my site because I love it so much, I love sharing my culture and I wanted to show you that they are easier to make then you might think. However, I completely understand how they can be intimidating to make, especially if you’ve never made them. The process of rolling and wrapping, the oil and the clean up can all be a lot to take in.

In addition, it is also the start of a brand new year and healthy is in. It is always in and always trending, but I wanted to take a recipe that I know people love, but are potentially intimidated by and make things easier and healthier! So, here we are.

With that being said, to make things a bit easier and healthier, I turned my traditional Filipino egg roll recipe into a rainbow egg roll bowl! No rolling and wrapping, no oil and less clean up! I took all of the same ingredients from my traditional Filipino egg roll recipe and added a few extra vegetables (because you can never have too many vegetables, am I right!?) and created this Rainbow Egg Roll bowl stir fry. Enjoy this as is, in a lettuce cup or with some white rice.
