Ingredients Needed for Egg Roll in a Bowl
Chicken / Shrimp – For this recipe, you’ll need one pound of chicken breasts or shrimp. Dice the chicken into small pieces. It is easier to get the chicken into small pieces if it is still slightly frozen when dicing it.
Avocado Oil – For this recipe, you’ll need two tablespoons of avocado oil. Avocado oil is best because it is a neutral oil and doesn’t impart any flavor on the rest of the ingredients. Vegetable oil would also work well.
Ginger / Garlic – You’ll need minced garlic and ginger for this recipe. Be sure to peel the fresh ginger before mincing it.
Salt / Pepper – Season this dish with salt and cracked black pepper.
Vegetables – For this recipe, you’ll need diced yellow onion, julienned carrots (matchsticks carrots work too) diced zucchini and thinly sliced green cabbage.
Low Sodium Soy Sauce – Be sure to season this dish with low sodium soy sauce. It adds extra flavor that’s hard to resist.
Garnish – Garnish this dish with freshly chopped green onion and crispy chow mein noodles. Option to serve over a bed of ramen noodles instead.
Spicy Creamy Sauce – Combine kewpie mayonnaise, sriracha, low sodium soy sauce, and maple syrup. Mix well and drizzle over the top.

Make the Dish – Option to use shrimp or chicken
- In a large sauté pan over medium heat, add one tablespoon of avocado oil. Season the cubed chicken or shrimp with salt and black pepper. Add your protein to the pan and saute. Once the chicken is cooked through (165 degrees Fahrenheit) and lightly browned, remove it from the pan.** if using shrimp, sear for 2-3 minutes per side.**
- In the same pan, add the remaining avocado oil. Add the diced onion, minced garlic, minced ginger, julienned carrots and diced zucchini. Sauté for 3-4 minutes.Next, add the thinly sliced green cabbage. Season the vegetables with a pinch of salt and cracked black pepper. Once the cabbage begins to soften, add the cooked protein back in.
- Add the low sodium soy sauce stir well and sauté. I like my cabbage slightly firm, but you can saute it to your liking. Top with chopped green onions and serve over a bed of ramen, or with crispy chow mein noodles.Option to drizzle the dish with the spicy creamy sauce and enjoy hot.

Delicious!! Healthy tasty and satisfying. Was a hit with the bf too!
I have tried various egg roll type recipes before, but the sauce in this one stands out. I doubled the recipe and I am so glad I did. I recommend you do the same because my husband and almost teenager son nearly ate it all. I will be making this again!
Substituted red peppers for carrots because of my husband’s allergy, and this was still really delicious and will be added into our rotation! We really enjoyed the flavors and sauce!
I made this with ground turkey – because that’s what I had and what needed to be used – and put it over a bowl of ramen. It was delicious and very very filling – high volume low macro meal – I loved it. I’ll definitely be making it again and next time may add broccoli and/or snow peas.
So delicious ! Substituted chicken with shrimp and served over pad Thai noodles ❤️
So happy to hear that!
