Too salty. I adjusted the recipe and used 1 T avocado oil, 1/4 tsp garlic salt, 1 T Tamari and one head of cabbage and served in lettuce wraps.

ERMAGERD! This egg roll in a bowl is super delicious, incredibly easy to prepare and has minimal ingredients. I can't believe there's only one rating for this recipe because this checks all the boxes for a satisfying, yummy weeknight meal. Thank you for posting; this satisfied a serious jonz for Chinese food that I've been trying to fulfill, unsuccessfully, for several weeks now.
