We all love egg rolls, but not all of the fat and guilt! So here's the answer, a deconstructed or eggroll in a bowl, all of the same flavors and texture, it's absolutely delicious and so easy to make, just brown the pork, add in the other tasty ingredients, stir it up and cook! You don't even have to grate the cabbage because you're using a slaw mix! Sounds too good to be true, but here it is!
