Tips for Making Egg Roll in a Bowl

Coleslaw Mix – If you can’t find coleslaw or a cabbage mix where you live, you can substitute two heaping cups of shredded cabbage and carrots instead.

Wilts Down – Cabbage wilts down quite a bit, so even if it looks like a lot, it’ll dramatically reduce in volume. But of course use your best judgement.

Gluten-Free – To make this egg roll in a bowl recipe gluten-free, use tamari instead of soy sauce. Try to find a low-sodium version though.

Sodium Sensitive – If you’re sensitive to salt, add a little less soy sauce than the recipe calls for, give it a taste, and then add more as needed.
