Notes
Ground pork gives the most authentic egg roll flavor, but chicken, turkey, or beef work great too.
For a low-carb or keto version, use a sugar-free hoisin sauce.
This recipe is perfect for meal prep and tastes even better the next day.
Serve over rice, cauliflower rice, or in lettuce cups for different variations.
