Egg Roll Stir Fry

This egg roll stir fry lets you enjoy eating the inside of an egg roll without the deep fried calorie-filled wrapper.

Egg rolls are so yummy, but the deep fried wrapper makes them not so diet friendly. This yummy egg roll stir fry gives you the texture and flavor of an egg roll without the wrapper and without the deep frying.
This recipe is Paleo and low carb, and it really is delicious. My whole family loved it. It makes a huge batch, and leftovers are wonderful reheated in the microwave.
Make ahead: The cabbage can be sliced and placed in a zipper bag and refrigerated until ready to cook. The pork can be fully cooked and seasoned and kept in the fridge as well. The sauce can be mixed beforehand and kept in an airtight container. This is really a wonderful, easy meal to fully prep early in day and then throw together for dinner in less than 20!

Egg Roll Stir Fry in my Favorite Wok

A wok is ideal for cooking this, as it makes a huge amount and would have to be made in two batches in most normal sized skillets. I LOVE this 14″ stainless wok with glass lid. I use it all the time for stir-fry meals. It is fabulous and half the price of similar woks in cooking stores.
I serve this alongside some of Asian faves from Trader Joes, particularly the potstickers and orange chicken. All of this makes a huge, authentic tasting Chinese meal at half the price of eating out.
