If you love egg rolls, then you're going to love this healthy and easy version of Egg Roll in a Bowl that's also very low in Weight Watchers points! It has the flavors of a traditional egg roll in a healthy dish.
But as far as I'm concerned, egg rolls just aren't the same without plum sauce, so I add it. Even WITH the plum sauce and sesame seeds, it's still low WW points (it's 1 WW point.) And trust me, it's sooo worth the extra points. It really tastes like you're eating an egg roll! Nor do you have to be on a Weight Watchers plan to love this Weight Watchers Egg Roll in a Bowl. It's a quick, easy, and healthy weeknight dish that the whole family will love.

- Gluten-free - You can also make it gluten-free by using a gluten-free soy sauce and gluten-free plum sauce.
- Green onions - you can substitute red or white, but green is ideal because they are milder
- Ground meat - you can substitute ground chicken breast or extra lean ground beef for turkey meat

🌶️🌶️ Can I make this spicy?
YES! If you want it a little spicier, without adding points, just add sriracha sauce or red pepper flakes. However, you'll need to keep the sriracha sauce to 1 tsp, as anything over and above 1 teaspoon is 1 WW point. You could also add another type of hot sauce or chili paste!

💭 Top Tip
Store your fresh ginger in the freezer! This recipe uses fresh ginger and ginger is usually a real pain to store because it goes bad so fast. I store my ginger in the freezer in a small freezer bag, pull it out and peel it with a carrot peeler, then grate it right into my food. It lasts several months in the freezer and this hack saves you both time and money!

❔ Frequently Asked Questions

And although I love eggs, I don't add them to my recipe (as some do) because this dish has enough protein it it. Plus, I already get enough eggs, given I eat them for breakfast on a daily basis.
