what is spring roll in a bowl
A spring roll in a bowl is a deconstructed spring roll tossed into a bowl with all your favorite spring roll ingredients. Instead of wrapping up your spring rolls in rice paper, we put them into a bowl with rice noodles!
how to make spring roll bowls
These healthy spring roll bowls are made like fresh spring rolls wrapped in rice paper – not the deep-fried kind. They are so fresh and full of flavor. My recipe has a peanut sauce to drizzle overtop for even more flavor.
Ingredients
Pickled cucumbers
- 2 cups sliced cucumbers
- 3/4 cup water
- 3/4 cup rice vinegar
- 2 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp coconut sugar
Spring Roll Bowls
- 1 lb frozen cooked shrimp, defrosted
- 12 oz rice noodles
- 2 large carrots, shredded
- 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
- 3 tbs mint leaves, chopped
- 3 green onions, sliced
Healthy Peanut sauce
- 3/4 cup peanut butter
- 6 tbsp filtered water (more to thin out even more)
- 3 tbs coconut aminos
- 3 tsp sesame oil
- 2 tbs sweet chili thai sauce
or use this 3 ingredient peanut sauce for a quicker recipe.
Instructions
- Make your pickled cucumbers either the night before or first thing when you start the recipe. The longer you pickle them, the more flavorful they’ll be. Just combine the water, rice vinegar, salt, and coconut sugar in a bowl and add your cucumbers. If you’re pickling them the night before, then place them in an airtight container in the fridge. If not, then just set it aside.
- Defrost your cooked shrimp by running under cold water.
- Make your rice noodles according to the package directions.
- While your noodles are cooking, prep all your vegetables by chopping, shredding and dicing.
- Make your peanut sauce by combining all the ingredients and thinning out with water until you reach your desired consistency. I like mine pretty thin so I can drizzle it over the spring roll bowls.
- Assemble your bowls by placing the rice noodles in the bottom of the bowl, drizzle the rice with peanut sauce, then top with all your ingredients and drizzle with more peanut sauce.
how to store spring roll in a bowl
You can store your spring roll bowls in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. This makes them so easy to meal prep because you don’t even need to heat them up when you’re ready to eat them. This dish is best enjoyed cold.
spring roll in a bowl Tips
- Meal prep – This is a great meal to prep ahead of time for lunches or dinners. Simply prep all the ingredients as instructed, then assemble several bowls in air-tight containers. Then pop them in the fridge and remove when ready to enjoy.
- Cooked shrimp – I like using cooked shrimp for this recipe since the bowls are cold anyway. All I do is buy the frozen shrimp thats precooked, then defrost under cold running water when I’m ready to make the bowls.
- Pickled cucumbers – Make the pickled cucumbers as far in advance as possible. This doesn’t necessarily have to be done the night before, but could even be done in the morning before making the bowls. You could also just pickle them as you prep all the other ingredients and they’re still delicious!
- Make a quick sauce – use this 3 ingredient peanut sauce for a super quick sauce!

Egg roll in a bowl
Egg roll bowls are also delicious! For this, you just use some browned ground turkey, shredded cabbage, carrot mixture, and a sauce made with coconut aminos served warm. I have a video for that below.
Salmon bowls
Substitute the shrimp for salmon and make salmon bowls using all the same ingredients.
Lettuce Wraps
Make these spring roll bowls into lettuce wraps by taking a piece of butter lettuce and placing all the ingredients inside.
Shrimpless bowls
You can omit the shrimp entirely to make this a meatless meal – perfect for meatless Monday, or if you just want to save money!
Substitute the veggies
If you have other veggies you prefer you can totally use those in addition or in place of any of the vegetables I recommend.
Change up the sauce
I love peanut sauce on this recipe because it adds creaminess to the fresh bowl, but you can use any other sauce you’d like.
Switch the Noodles for rice
Jasmine brown rice would also be great in place of the rice noodles for these spring rolls in a bowl.
