This bowl became a staple in my house, mostly because it’s quick, satisfying, and gives me an opportunity to douse vegetables in soy sauce (coconut aminos). Plus, it's easy to adapt, fun to modify, and hard to mess up. Keep in mind that you can make a spicier version using sriracha, chili oil, and you could incorporate yummy carbs like rice, quinoa, or egg noodles if you want a more filling meal.
An important note - If you haven’t tried water chestnuts in your stir-fry or egg roll bowl, you’re missing out. These little crunchy little buddies add a fresh snap that contrasts perfectly with the softness of cooked meat and cabbage. Plus, they’re low in calories and add a subtle sweetness. I eat half the can while I cook my egg roll bowl.
This bowl holds up well in the fridge for up to 3 days. Just reheat in a pan or microwave and add a fresh splash of soy sauce before eating.
