★ Tips & FAQs ★
Let the chicken egg roll bowl cool completely and store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days.
To reheat it, pop it into the microwave and heat in 30-second intervals or heat the batch in a skillet over medium heat until warmed through.
A chicken egg roll bowl is a healthier take on traditional deep-fried egg rolls. Made with lean ground chicken, coleslaw mix, soy sauce, and served over rice, it skips the oily wrapper but keeps the same great flavor.
Leftovers can be stored for 3-5 days in the fridge in an airtight container. It’s best eaten within a few days as the slaw tends to get soft as time goes on.
It is not freezer-friendly. Once the egg roll bowl thaws, the cabbage becomes too soft and ends up mushy.
Try using ground pork, turkey, or beef in place of the chicken as well as adding in more sriracha sauce for more heat.
Topping this bowl with sliced almonds, cashews or salted sesame seeds adds protein and crunchy making it a tasty addition.
Wonton strips make a great topping adding crunch and some of that tradition egg roll taste.
Thinly sliced bell peppers, onions, zuzzhini, or mushrooms are a tasty addition to a chicken egg roll bowl. Make extra sauces as needed.
