Introduction
When I need a quick, tasty meal that keeps me on track with my WW points, this Zero Point Egg Roll in a Bowl is always my go-to. It’s basically the inside of an egg roll—savory, garlicky, packed with veggies—without the fried wrapper. Light, filling, and delicious, it’s a keeper for busy nights and meal prep alike!
Step-by-Step Cooking Guide
Step 1: Brown the Meat
In a large skillet, cook the ground turkey or chicken until no longer pink.
👉 Tip: For a veggie version, swap the meat for mushrooms or tofu.
Step 2: Build the Flavor
Add onion and garlic, cooking until golden and fragrant. Sprinkle in ground ginger for that classic egg roll taste.
Step 3: Add the Veggies
Toss in cabbage and carrots. Stir-fry until softened but still crisp—about 5 minutes.
👉 Tip: Don’t overcook or the cabbage will lose its crunch.
Step 4: Season & Garnish
Stir in soy sauce and a drizzle of sesame oil. Top with green onions and chili flakes.
