Easy Healthy Egg Roll in a Bowl Recipe (WW Friendly)

If you love the flavor of Chinese takeout but want something lighter and healthier, this easy egg roll in a bowl recipe is a must-try. It has all the delicious flavors of your favorite egg rolls—tender shrimp, crunchy cabbage, and a savory soy-ginger sauce—but without the fried wrapper or extra calories.

Ready in less than 30 minutes, it’s the perfect low carb Weight Watchers egg roll in a bowl that works for a quick lunch or weeknight dinner. My husband and I love it so much that I usually double the recipe so we can both enjoy it whenever a Chinese food craving strikes.

Why I Love This Easy Egg Roll Bowl

• Quick and Easy: Ready in under 30 minutes with minimal prep.
• Weight Watchers Friendly: All the flavor of takeout egg rolls but lighter, lower in fat, and full of vegetables.
• Customizable: Works with shrimp, ground turkey, chicken, or pork.
• One Pan Meal: Less cleanup and more flavor in a single skillet.
• Great for Meal Prep: Stores well and reheats beautifully, making it ideal for leftovers.

Ingredients and Substitutions

• Reduced Sodium Soy Sauce – Adds savory umami flavor. For gluten-free, use tamari or coconut aminos.
• Sesame Oil – Brings that classic Asian flavor. Toasted sesame oil adds an even deeper nutty taste.
• Granulated Garlic and Ground Ginger – Keep it simple with pantry spices, or swap in fresh garlic and grated ginger for extra punch.
• Black Pepper – A touch of spice to balance the sweetness of the vegetables.
• Coleslaw Mix (Shredded Cabbage and Carrots) – The ultimate shortcut; you can also shred your own green or Napa cabbage.
• Bean Sprouts – Add crunch and freshness. Can be swapped with thinly sliced bell peppers or snow peas. If can’t find fresh, canned are another option.
• Bay Shrimp (Cooked, Ready-to-Eat) – A fast protein option. Sub in ground turkey, chicken, pork, or even tofu.
• Scallions – For brightness and flavor. Chives or thinly sliced onion can work in a pinch.
• Water Chestnuts (Canned, Drained, Chopped) – Give a light crunch. Optional but I love the texture they provide.

Recipe Additions and Variations

• Spicier? Serve with a drizzle of your favorite hot sauce or Chinese hot mustard.
• Vegetarian? Skip the shrimp and add vegetarian crumbles or tufu instead.
• Pressure Cooker? We have a delicious Vegetarian Instant Pot Egg Roll Bowl made with sliced cremini mushrooms, carrots, celery and cabbage.

How to Make Easy Healthy Egg Roll Bowl Step-by-Step

Step 1: Assemble and prep your ingredients

You will also need: a small bowl (affiliate link), a large skillet (affiliate link) with lid, and nonstick spray

Step 2: Make the sauce

In a small bowl (affiliate link), combine the soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, ginger and pepper. Mix until well blended and set aside.

Step 3: Cook the coleslaw mix and bean sprouts

Set a large skillet (affiliate link) sprayed with nonstick spray over medium-high heat. Add the coleslaw mix, bean sprouts and 1/3 cup water. Cover and cook until the mixture has softened, 6 – 8 minutes.

Step 4: Add the sauce, shrimp, scallions and water chestnuts

Uncover and if needed, cook and stir until water has evaporated, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the sauce, shrimp, scallions and water chestnuts. Cook and stir until hot and well mixed, 3 to 5 minutes.

Step 5: Enjoy!

Enjoy with your favorite egg roll condiments, I like a little sweet chili sauce, hot mustard and extra soy sauce.

Serving Suggestions

I like to serve these egg roll bowls with extra condiments to recreate the flavor of classic Chinese egg rolls. Soy sauce, Trader Joe’s sweet chili sauce, and a little hot mustard really kick it up a notch.

Here are more tasty serving ideas:

• Over Rice or Cauliflower Rice – Turn it into a hearty rice bowl by spooning the mixture over steamed white, brown, or cauliflower rice.
• With Noodles – Toss with cooked soba, ramen, or spaghetti squash for a noodle-style egg roll in a bowl.
• As Lettuce Wraps – Spoon the filling into large romaine or butter lettuce leaves for a handheld option that’s fresh and crunchy.
• Topped with Extras – Garnish with sesame seeds, chopped cilantro, or sliced jalapeños for more flavor and texture.
• With an Egg on Top – Fry or poach an egg and add it over the bowl for extra protein and richness.

This versatile dish works as a stand-alone meal, but it’s also easy to pair with steamed dumplings, miso soup, or a simple cucumber salad for a complete takeout-style dinner at home.
