Everybody loves egg rolls. The savory dish is a perfect finger-food-ready appetizer, but also filling enough to be a meal all on its own. We can’t get enough of them, but we know those stuffed-and-fried roll-ups come with a price— a health one, that is. So what’s an egg roll fan to do? We found the solution: take out the roll entirely! That’s right, like tacos and burritos before it, we’re taking all the flavors of the egg roll and making them in a bowl, eliminating the calorie-dense fried wrapper in the process. The result is a dish we can’t get enough of, and we’re betting you’ll feel the same. Check it out!
