2. Clean up can be, by far, the most labor-intensive part of a recipe
3. Texture and taste
4. Is this recipe going to meet my lifestyle choices? – On my mission to take care of myself, does a Egg Roll in a Bowl fit my lifestyle? I hope it’ll fit yours!!
Putting It Together:
There are a few things about this recipe you should know. Because this recipe doesn’t require wrapping, it’s fairly simple; the most difficult part is browning the meat. After you do that, steam the broccoli slaw, cook the eggs (optional), and add everything to a big bowl. Finally, serve with sweet’n’sour sauce or eat it as is. Personally, although I haven’t included it in the recipe, I adore Chinese five spice on my Egg Roll in a Bowl and recommend you add it to yours!!
Substitutions:
As far as substitutes, you can use cabbage instead of broccoli if you’d rather. Eggs are optional, as I know they are not AIP. Sausage is my preferred protein for this dish, but I suppose ground turkey, chicken, or beef would also work, depending on what you prefer.
How to Store Egg Roll in a Bowl:
1. Refrigerator
Store Egg Roll in a Bowl in airtight containers in the fridge. They’ll stay fresh for 7 days, keeping their texture and flavor.
2. Freezing
To extend their lifespan, freeze in an airtight container or individual portions. It’ll stay good for up to 3 Months. Take out and reheat in the microwave for 2-4 minutes or on the stove until hot.
Does It Meet My Standards?
Remember that list of standards we set? Lets review:
1. How much time do I want this to take
From start to finish this recipe takes about 45 minutes Its defiantly time intensive but in this case, defiantly worth it.
2. Clean up can be, by far, the most labor-intensive part of a recipe
This recipe doesn’t have to use a lot of dishes, however there will be a couple pans and thats ok if your looking for something a little more complicated
3. Texture and flavor – I want it to be delicious
Egg Roll in a Bowl is one of my favorites for its simplicity and fantastic flavor. The mix of warm sausage, fresh broccoli slaw, crunchy water chestnuts, and tangy sauce or seasoning is to die for! This is seriously addictive.
4. Is this recipe going to meet my lifestyle choices? – On my mission to take care of myself, this bowl fits my lifestyle, and I hope it will fit yours!!
As someone who started AIP and now follows paleo (less strict) this recipe is so amazing for when I want a warm yummy lunch, dinner, or side.
