- Green Onion– Adding green onions, scallions, gives additional flavors! You can leave them out if you do not prefer the taste.
- Soy Sauce– Soy sauce is the key to adding that salty umami flavor that ties everything together! It flavors the dish and gives the dish the authentic “egg roll” flavor!
- Flavors– To season this recipe we use salt, ground black pepper, and paprika. You can use any other preferred seasonings to elevate the dish.
- Sesame seeds– Top the bowls with toasted sesame seeds to bring together flavors, this is totally optional.
