I’ve been on a cabbage kick lately (this cabbage soup!!) so this was a great way to use up more cabbage. It’s filling and so healthy! A sprinkle of sesame seeds on top and a bit of soy sauce – you won’t even notice it’s not rolled up in a wrapper and deep fried!
What is in the Weight Watchers Egg Roll in a Bowl?
Wow – this egg roll in a bowl recipe has quite a few ingredients – I mean – think of everything in an egg roll! Here we go:
- fat free ground chicken breast
- you could also use ground turkey breast, lean ground pork, turkey sausage or lean ground beef
- chicken broth
- veggies: onions, carrots, red pepper
- lots of shredded cabbage (or a bag of coleslaw mix)
- bamboo shoots
- seasonings
- sesame oil – really essential – adds so much flavor!
- mirin or rice vinegar
- minced garlic
- ground ginger

How do you make an egg roll in a bowl?
You don’t even need a wok or anything like that – just a nonstick skillet!
- Start by browning your ground chicken – to avoid oil (and fat) – just use 1/4 cup water or chicken broth – it works!
- Add onion, carrots, sesame oil (just a little adds a lot of flavor!), mirin and garlic. Stir and cook until onion is tender…
- Then add cabbage, bamboo shoots and red pepper – keep stirring and sauteeing for 5-7 minutes. Also – add more cabbage than you think you might need! It will cook down and you’ll be glad you did. If it gets dry – add a bit more water so it doesn’t stick.
- Lastly add ginger, soy sauce and hoisin sauce – so much flavor!
- Spoon into bowls and top with wonton strips, sesame seeds and gochujang or sriracha.
Can you freeze an egg roll in a bowl?
You definitely can! Place the leftovers in an air tight bowl and freeze. To reheat – you can either microwave for 2 minutes or place back in a skillet and reheat for 3-5 minutes.
Another alternative if you’re meal prepping is to saute ground chicken (or turkey) with onions, carrots and garlic – then freeze that! Then when I need some for a recipe – I grab it out of the freezer and I’m already on my way!

What to serve with egg roll in a bowl?
Here’s the thing – it’s sort of a one-pot dish! It’s got veggies and a little crunch from the wontons. You’re not going to want to make rice as a side if you’re on Weight Watchers! You could serve with some cauliflower rice – or leave the chicken out and just do a vegetarian version and make chicken or pork on the side. BUT I like to just serve it with dessert!
