How to make vegetarian egg roll in a bowl

Step 1: Drain the tofu and press for 5-10 minutes.

It doesn’t need to be too long, we just want to try to get some of that extra moisture out.

Step 2: Heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Crumble the tofu with your hands and add it to the skillet

Cook the tofu for 10-15 minutes, until starting to brown on the edges.

Let it sit for 3-4 minutes at a time to get a sizzle/browning on one side before flipping.

Step 3: Move the tofu over to one side of the skillet, and on the other side add the mushrooms, carrots, cabbage, ginger, garlic, green onion, and 2 tablespoons of soy sauce.

Cook over medium heat for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 4: Add 2 more tablespoons of soy sauce and 1 tablespoon of sesame oil to the pan once the veggies are mostly cooked down.

Stir and continue cooking for 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are the desired softness.

Serve this vegetarian egg roll in a bowl garnished any way you like it!

We enjoyed ours as is, but peanuts or siracha would also make great toppings if that’s your thing.

This was such a yummy veggie packed meal that left me feeling amazing!
