FAQ
Can I use regular soy sauce instead of coconut aminos?
Yes, but it won't be paleo-compliant. Use 1/4 cup soy sauce as it's saltier than coconut aminos.
How long will this keep in the refrigerator?
Store covered for up to 4 days. The vegetables may soften slightly but flavor remains good.
Can I freeze this egg roll bowl?
Freezing isn't recommended as cabbage becomes mushy when thawed. Fresh vegetables work best.
