Egg Roll in a Bowl Recipe
Egg Roll in a Bowl uses ground beef, coleslaw mix, shredded carrots, and aromatics like garlic, ginger, and onion, all cooked quickly in a skillet. Seasoned with soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sriracha, this stir-fried mixture delivers the flavors of an egg roll without the wrapper.
