My family love eggrolls. This is a fun thing to make these as a family as we are watching the Super Bowl or playoff games. I turn mine into eggroll bowls by eating without the wrappers and using GF noodles or rice.
I also love to make the sauce and use it on top of my egg roll bowls. Gluten Free for you and me!
