This recipe for Egg (Spring) Roll in a Bowl actually started off as a huge failure. It started as a keto version of an actual Egg Roll or Spring Roll recipe that I intended to add to my Asian cook book ‘Fresh Fragrant Keto’. The wrappers were a massive fail first time around and as my deadline was drawing near, I decided to throw in the towel on them and leave it as a recipe to work on and develop down the track.
However, even though the wrappers didn’t turn out how I wanted, the actual filling for the Egg Roll/Spring Roll recipe was absolutely delicious! In fact, it was better than most crackslaw or egg roll in a bowl type recipes I had tried before and I decided to make my own version of Egg Roll in a Bowl with this filling.
The filling itself for this Egg Roll in a Bowl has a little carrot which I don’t use too often, but it is a very small amount and adds some much needed colour to the dish. You can always easily omit the carrot if you prefer, but I like the taste and texture it adds.
The dried shiitake mushroom is what really gives this dish its great flavour and makes it different to other recipes like this I’ve tasted. Make sure to really fine dice or chop the mushroom, so that it rehydrates easily during cooking. This will also help to soak up any excess water in the dish too and the addition of xanthan gum helps to thicken the whole mix up really well!
