Egg roll in a Bowl-Diabetic and WW Friendly

This is a delicious, deconstructed dish that captures all the flavors of an egg roll without the hassle of rolling and deep-frying. Thanks to these minor adjustments, it is also significantly lighter than a traditional egg roll.

Notes

Cooking Just for Two? Cut the ingredients in half! The cooking instructions remain the same.

*Don’t skip the toasted sesame oil! This gives the dish its classic Asian flavor, and it’s very easy to find a small bottle of the oil in the Asian food section at just about every grocery store (including places like Walmart).

**I use a bottle of refrigerated pre-minced fresh garlic for an easy shortcut.
