Ingredients in Gluten Free Egg Roll in a Bowl:

Ground Meat- you can use any lean ground meat. My favorites are ground pork, ground beef, ground turkey or even ground bison.

Coleslaw- I like to get the packaged coleslaw that contains shredded cabbage and carrots. Make sure it’s plain, non-marinaded shredded cabbage and carrots.

Coconut Aminos– this is by far my favorite gluten free sub for soy sauce. Tastes very, very similar to soy sauce, just a hint sweeter.

Oyster Sauce- make sure you use a gluten free one if you are gluten free. Oyster sauce really helps bring this dish alive. It’s rich, thick and perfectly complements this savory meal.

Sesame Oil– a little goes a long way, but this oil provides the perfect finishing touch and flavor to this Egg Roll in a Bowl recipe.

Onion- you can use sweet or yellow onions to help provide flavor.

Olive Oil- I prefer to use extra virgin olive oil.

Seasonings- garlic, salt, pepper and ground ginger. I also like to top this dish off with fresh scallions.
