This Paleo Egg Roll in a Bowl has all the flavors of an egg roll, but easier and healthier! Whole30, gluten free, dairy free, and a delicious lunch or dinner.
I saw this idea on Pinterest and thought how easy it would be to make paleo and I was right. A couple easy swaps and not only is it paleo, but Whole30 as well! All the flavors of an egg roll but none of the work of rolling them? Yes, please!
This meal is so easy, full of veggies, and delicious! I like to do all the chopping ahead of time so the dish comes together even quicker. I used a pan that was a little too small so it took longer than it should to cook, lesson learned! Use the biggest skillet or wok that you have- it will make it cook much faster.
When I was telling my husband about this idea to see what he thought, he immediately mentioned that it needed some Sweet and Sour Sauce- so I made a homemade version that is sweetened only with fruit and so good. It goes perfectly with this savory dish. I love when he helps me come up with recipes and they turn out to be a success. 🙂
If you love egg rolls dipped in sauce, then you will love this bowl. Easier and just as tasty!
Here is the recipe for the Paleo Whole30 Sweet and Sour Sauce– it’s the perfect topping for this bowl! It is still good without it though.
A couple other Asian-inpired dishes that we love- Paleo Orange Chicken, Paleo Chicken and Broccoli, and Paleo Thai Chicken.

So delicious!!! Lots of chopping, but definitely worth it.

I always use Cole slaw mix for my cabbage/carrots. It’s already cut up and I can just dump and go!
