Egg Roll In a Bowl

Sometimes, when you want to change things up, you find the perfect dish to do just that! This egg roll in a bowl checked off a lot of boxes for me. Veggies- check! Spice- check! Crunch- check! Filling- check! Not Mexican AGAIN… check!

Some of the best things about the egg roll in a bowl are that it’s healthy, easy, different than our usual dinners, and it’s super satisfying. My husband looked over and said, “Yum. I forgot how much I like water chestnuts.” Agreed. They really do make the dish. If you’re looking for a quick weeknight dinner that’s not Mexican again, try the egg roll in a bowl. You won’t be disappointed. And you’ll love the leftovers…if there are any!
