You can’t lose with this recipe, my friend. You will be voted master of your kitchen from the very first time you serve this wonderful dinner.

How to Make Egg Roll Bowls

• Make the sauce.
• In a *12-inch cast iron skillet, brown the pork to make the egg roll bowl filling.
• Warm the rice you made ahead for this week’s meals (You made a bulk batch of rice for the fridge this week, right?) OR make a batch of quick-cook rice. Any brand of minute cooking rice will be ready in under 10 minutes.
• Next, add veggies to the deliciously seasoned pork. Stir and cook the mixture until the veggies are just heated through. They should be tender crisp, not mushy.
• Serve by creating beautiful egg roll *bowls with a layer of fluffy rice in the bottom. Top the rice with the savory egg roll filling and drizzle with my 5-Minute Stir Fry and Dipping Sauce. If you like, sprinkle some chopped cilantro and fried wonton strips over the top for an optional garnish.

Great Make-Ahead Meal

This is a recipe that will make 8 servings, easily. If that’s enough for leftovers at your house, fantastic! You can easily double this recipe. Store the components in containers in the fridge. You will have quick and easy “pick-up” meals all week.

For a fast lunch or a quick supper assemble a delicious egg roll bowl. Heat it in the microwave. Enjoy a healthy alternative to take-out in under 5 minutes! How easy is that? (Be sure to check out Ground Beef and Cabbage for another quick and easy cabbage meal, too. And both are perfect with a simple House Salad.)
