# Expert Insights:

01 -
  • The entire dish comes together in 25 minutes with almost zero prep work
  • You get all the craveable egg roll flavors without the deep-frying mess or wrapper fatigue
  • Leftovers reheat beautifully and actually taste better the next day
02 -
  • Don't overcrowd your skillet, or the vegetables will steam instead of getting those delicious browned edges
  • The vegetables continue cooking after you add the sauce, so pull them while they still have some crunch
  • Coconut aminos are slightly sweeter than soy sauce, so you may want to add a pinch more salt if substituting
03 -
  • Bagged coleslaw mix is your friend for weeknight speed, just check that it doesn't include dressing
  • Double the batch and portion it into containers for grab-and-go lunches all week
