Today is Thursday, and you deserve a nice pat on the back, my friends. For you have traversed the steep mountain known as Wednesday and are now sliding downhill to the wonderful world of this weekend. For your patience and fortitude, I present to you, the latest and greatest from the Sons’ kitchen. Hold on to your plates!
The egg roll in a bowl is now one of our favorite ways to get our Chinese fix. It’s cheap AND it’s easy. Really, really easy. Even better, it’s not horrible for your health. Even serving it over rice is optional. It’s still that good. All those egg roll flavors you love, but amped up a notch by caramelized cabbage and carrots, and without any of those not-so-good-for-you fried parts.
Egg Roll Bowl
recipe adapted from Life With The Crust Cut Off
1 lb ground pork sausage
3-4 cloves garlic, minced
5 green onions, thinly sliced
3 tbsp soy sauce
salt and pepper, to taste
3 tbsp brown Sugar
1 bag coleslaw mix, just raw cabbage and carrots
cooked rice, for serving over
Directions
1. Brown the sausage with the garlic and green onions.
2. Add in the coleslaw mix, soy sauce and brown sugar. Season with salt and pepper.
3. Cook until the cabbage is cooked down and almost caramelized.
4. Serve the egg roll stuffing mixture over the rice.
5. Top with crispy wontons, chow mein noodles, or duck sauce if desired.
Love this idea for its flavour and simplicity! I need to try it soon!!
Sounds like a great way to get am egg roll fix without all the calories!

This sounds really wonderful and I am sure beef would be a good replacement for me as well. 😉 Happy FF! 🙂
Brilliant, why work so hard wrapping the filling and then deep frying when you can have a bowl? Our partiers will love this and thank you so much for bringing two dishes this week !
This sounds delicious. You took that delicious filing and didn’t bother with the fried roll. Yum
I always prefer the inside of the eggroll not the fried dough so win win recipe!
This looks like a dish my family would love! Thanks for sharing at Freedom Fridays – pinned and sharing on Facebook! 🙂
Thanks, Jamie for the shares and I’m so glad you liked it 🙂 Also, as always, thanks for hosting!
