Delicious, savory asian flavors, typically found in a fried egg roll, can be enjoyed without all of the fat and calories that come with deep frying.
Do you love egg rolls as much as I do? There are so many reasons why I crave them sometimes. First, I love crispy food. Second, I crave savory food more than sweet. Third, if done properly, they’re packed with vegetables. Fourth, they’re great for a meal or just for snacking. I’d rather not list all of the reasons they’re not the best choice for a healthy meal. As a result, I face a dilema every time I order them. At last, I’ve solved my dilema with this crave-worthy Vegetable Egg Roll Skillet!
Make This Vegetable Egg Roll Skillet a Healthy Favorite
First, pack this delicious skillet meal with nutritious vegetables. If you don’t like the vegetables included in the ingredient list, you can substitute others. You can use some of these suggestions for substitutions in your Vegetable Egg Roll Skillet:
- Water Chestnuts
- Bamboo Shoots
- Bok Choy or Baby Bok Choy
- Daikon Radish
- Cauliflower Florets
- Green Beans
- Brussels Sprouts
Second, make it stir-fried, but not fried. You get the delicious, savory, crunchy filling of traditional healthy Asian recipes, without the deep fried wrapper when you make it this way. Although you use the same ingredients for the filling as you would with the fried version, you saute it in a skillet instead. While you’re using toasted sesame oil, you’re not cooking it in oil. You’re only finishing the dish with a small amount of all, and as a result, it’s much lower in fat.
Serving Suggestions:
- Serve it alone
- Top with almonds, crunchy chow mein noodles, and an Asian dressing
- Make a healthy bowl with rice or cauliflower rice, or even zucchini noodles
Regardless of how you decide to enjoy this Vegetable Egg Roll Skillet, you’ll be making a healthy choice for lunch, dinner, or even a nutritious snack. As an added bonus, no chopsticks needed!

The ingredients are different than the instructions,, confused,
Hi Deborah, the ingredients match those in the instructions. I think you’re referring to the suggested substitutions in the introduction before the recipe.
I assume when the instructions say “add broccoli slaw” they mean the shredded cabbage
Yes, that is correct! Thanks for catching that typo for us!
Just made. DELICIOUS!!
Put it on top of cauliflower rice.
The only thing I did differently was double the amount of soy sauce and rice vinegar and I put the Sesame Oil in the stir fry while I was making it instead of after.
