Inside Out Egg Rolls
Egg rolls are a popular appetizer in Chinese cuisine, typically made by wrapping a mixture of vegetables and meat in a thin pastry wrapper and deep-frying it until crispy. The Inside Out Egg Rolls, also known as “egg roll in a bowl,” is a modern twist on the classic Chinese egg rolls.
The dish is made by stir-frying a mixture of shredded vegetables, meat, and seasonings in a wok or skillet. The filling is then served in a bowl, without the pastry wrapper, making it a healthier option for those watching their carbohydrate intake. Its popularity can be attributed to its delicious taste and versatility in terms of ingredients.
