Variations

Here are a few ideas on how you can change this recipe to better suit your taste if you wish when you make the recipe.

Spicy – add chili pepper flakes while cooking if you like your meals on the spicy side of life.
Filling – I added ramen to the stir fry but feel free to toss your favorite starch or plant-based protein. Tofu, tempeh, and soy curl chicken are excellent options. If you are wanting to keep the carb intake at a minimum cauliflower rice or chopped mushrooms are great.
Toppings – chopped green onion or scallions are always my topping choice for Asian fare. Chopped nuts like peanuts, cashews, or almonds add a nice crunch as well as sesame seeds.

Equipment

Equipment can have a big impact on how a recipe turns out. A good nonstick pan is all you really need to make this vegan egg roll in a bowl.

Personally, I love and use Lodge cast iron skillets and Ballarini pans. They’re both affordable, durable, and great for oil-free cooking.

Storage for leftovers

Refrigerator: Store any leftover egg roll in a bowl in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 days.

This recipe is not good for freezing, so, don’t!
