Storage Tips

If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. This dish can be kept fresh for up to 3 days. When reheating, simply warm it up in a skillet over medium heat until heated through, or use the microwave for a quicker option. The flavors tend to meld even more after sitting, making it just as delicious on day two!

For longer storage, consider freezing the mixture (without garnishes) in a freezer-safe container. It can last up to 2 months. When you’re ready to eat, thaw it in the refrigerator overnight and reheat on the stove. This makes for a quick and convenient meal option that’s perfect for busy days.

Serving Suggestions

This Easy Egg Roll in a Bowl is delicious on its own, but you can elevate your meal by serving it with a side of cauliflower rice or steamed broccoli for extra veggies. If you're not strictly low-carb, you might enjoy it alongside some steamed rice or noodles for a more traditional approach.

For those who love a bit of spice, consider serving it with sriracha or your favorite hot sauce. The heat pairs wonderfully with the savory flavors of the dish. You can also top it with crushed peanuts for added crunch and a hint of nuttiness, bringing a delightful texture contrast to your meal.
