This healthy eggroll in a bowl will undoubtedly make your "Meal Prep Monday" a cinch! If you asked my clients what their "most-loved meal prep dish" this healthy eggroll bowl would undoubtedly be the answer. It’s super flavorful, takes only 10 minutes to prepare, and uses just one pan. What more can you ask for in a healthy meal? The combination of purple cabbage, carrot, and ginger provides a substantial amount of nutrients that may equally offer health benefits such as reduced inflammation, improved gut function, and stronger bones. I like to pair this savory bowl with a dried seaweed snack and brown rice.
If you're looking for a light and healthy appetizer or side dish to pair with this bowl, I certainly reccomend that you try my Kimchi Spring Roll recipe!
