And like that, it was gone. This egg roll in a bowl (er… plate) didn’t last long at all in our house. It was understandable, really. We’re both egg-roll-aholics. These have the same flavors, they’re just easier to make. Yeah you can buy those frozen egg rolls. And some are actually decent. But they’re kinda small. I think the serving size is one egg roll. One egg roll? What? Nah, I’ll make this instead. Just as yummy and I get more!
Low Carb. Or Almost.
If you leave off the wonton strips this egg roll in a bowl is a low-carb dish. If you add just a few it’s not a crazy carby dish. If you go nuts with them, you’ve got carbs. It’s your call. I think it kinda needs a little crunch. Roasted peanuts would work too. I happen to like the flavor of wonton strips. And the crunch. So that’s what I used!
