The key ingredient you will need is Braggs Liquid Aminos, you can find it here: Braggs Liquid Aminos Braggs is a plant-based soy sauce alternative that is non-GMO and gluten free and will work will all of your GF, Keto, Paleo and Whole30 Asian cuisine-based recipes.

What I love about making my Egg Roll in a Bowl recipe is that is a one pot meal. No sink full of dirty dishes! You’ll use a cutting board, a sharp knife, measuring spoons, stir spoon and, of course, a large pot, that’s it! Just for fun you might what to grab your favorite pair of chopsticks!

There is one optional kitchen tool that I love for this recipe and so many others and makes life so much easier. The ground meat chopper is a life (and hand) saver in the kitchen. Find it here: Meat Chopper This little beauty chops and minces ground meat, breaking down big chunks of meat much quicker than trying to chop away with the end of a spoon or spatula. I’ve compared other choppers and I like the one I have linked (and own) because it has beveled, sharper blades for chopping but does not harm coated pots and pans. The chopper works with all ground meats but also works great with avocado for guacamole and for chopping up sautéed broccoli and cauliflower florets into smaller pieces.

Health tip: If you suffer from carpal tunnel, arthritis, joint or muscle pain in your hands and wrists this tool will allow you to cook with ease. My hands use to get tired and achy anytime I prepared a meal with ground meat and would turn the task of chopping over to my husband but not anymore using this little kitchen helper!

Notes

Optional ingredients/garnishes:  Green onions and black sesame seeds – Adding these before serving makes this a beautiful, appealing dish on top of the spicy mayo drizzle.  If serving guests, I will add these.  If I am meal prepping or just cooking for 2 I skip this step for simplicity as it is more for appearance than taste.  Also, there is the “G” word… Garlic. Many versions of this recipe include adding a small amount of chopped garlic.  I rarely use garlic in my cooking, but you can add into your hearts content!  If you are wondering why garlic is not my thing check out my blog post.
Keto: This dish has a higher ratio of protein to fat.  May need to use a smaller portion size based on your protein requirements.  Other fats may be needed for a complete meal based on your fat requirements. Must use a compliant soy sauce product like Bragg’s Liquid Aminos.
Paleo and Whole30:  This is a complete meal but adding a vegetable side such as my cauliflower fried rice will enhance this dish and satisfy those take-out cravings for sure!
Gluten free:  This meal is GF, no need to do anything else!
