One Pan Vegetarian Egg Roll Fried Rice Meal Prep

by Happy Stirring
Jump to Recipe

This one pan easy vegetarian meal prep will only take you about an hour, leaving you plenty of time to relax Sunday afternoon. A five day work week only give you two days to unwind, and get things done. (Far too little time if you ask me. Especially because sometimes you just need a full day of doing NOTHING.) You don’t want to spend all weekend meal prepping and cleaning a huge mess. Only one pan needed for this easy vegetarian meal prep! (The best recipes, in my opinion.)

Thankfully I’m still working from home and quarantining (especially after being away with Philip. Don’t worry, we were safe and stayed out of big groups for the most part!) I haven’t meal prepped since the second week of March. It’s been good and bad, good because I get to cook during my lunch break! Which has been amazing, and I’ve eaten things I would have never been able to warm up at work. But the downside? On the days that there are no leftovers from dinner, or I don’t have enough time to make lunch…I’ve been ordering. More so lately than ever before.

I have a weakness for greasy gross fast food, we all know this already. And like everyone else, I’ve gained the quarantine fifteen. And I have to change the trajectory I’m on, so I NEEDED to get back to meal prepping for work. Even if I’m still at home, doesn’t mean I can’t try to eat a little healthier.

Accidentally Vegetarian Meal Prep

So my original idea was to make my own version of egg roll in a bowl. So I went out, and I bought what I needed, including ground pork, ginger, soy sauce, and cabbage. Shortly before I started cooking, as I was writing my idea down in the Happy Stirring journal, I though of something amazing. Combing the egg roll in a bowl with fried rice! I was proud of myself for this one. I woke up, showered, and headed to the kitchen.

There was a lot happening in the house. My parents are getting quotes to fix damage from the falling tree, AND they are also trying to re-paint our dining room. So I was trying to help them out a bit while I was meal prepping. And I did something incredibly silly, I forgot to cook the pork.

My original idea was to brown the ground pork, and then add the eggs and the vegetables. I realized my mistake shortly after adding all the broth and water to the rice. It was going to well, and then all of a sudden THE PORK. Oh well, now I have some ground pork in the freezer, and I will figure out something incredible to do with it. And this all means I’ve accidentally made this easy meal prep vegetarian. I’m not mad about it, it came out delicious.

Hopefully See You Next Week

The plan is to steadily continue meal prepping every week, despite still working from home. The urge to order Taco Bell and Wendy’s will be real but I will be trying my best to limit myself. Not only when it comes to fast food, but ordering food in general. I have been ordering A LOT, like multiple days in a row. Either I’m ordering lunch, dinner for the family, or some late night ice cream, it’s all too easy.

But hopefully I can continue meal prepping again on a regular basis, and I’ll still be able to treat myself to something once a week like I used to. So stay tuned for some more delicious, and of course easy to make meal preps. If you want to receive emails every time I post something new on here, make sure to subscribe and follow my Instagram.
