Notes
Recipe Variations and Additions
- Change the Ground Meat - Try ground turkey or shrimp instead of ground pork. Ground beef or shredded chicken is also a good substitute. I like using what meat I have leftover.
- Crock option - Crockpot Southwest Egg Roll in a Bowl is great too. The flavor is amazing and the slow cooker makes it so easy. This is a great way to jazz up your traditional egg roll in a bowl recipe.
- Change the Slaw Mix - Broccoli slaw is also a tasty substitute for the coleslaw mix.
- Water Chestnuts - Add water chestnuts for extra crunch.
- Vegetarian Option - If you prefer to make this vegetarian, omit the protein and substitute with tofu. Instead of using chicken broth use vegetable broth.
- Soy Free - If you prefer the dish to be soy free and gluten-free, use coconut aminos or tamari instead. It is a good substitute for low-sodium soy sauce.
- Add More Vegetables - For a veggie packed dish, you can easily add in broccoli, zucchini, and squash. Peas, edamame, or bean sprouts are other vegetables that I would recommend adding.
- Ground Ginger - If you don't have any ground ginger you can substitute with ground all spice.
- Oil - If you don't have any sesame oil, you can use vegetable oil or any regular that you have.
- Spicy - For a hint of spice add in 1/2 teaspoon of red pepper flakes.
