Keto Egg Roll in a Bowl Recipe: Quick, Easy and Tasty

Egg Roll in a Bowl

The reality is everyone at some point or another feels like enjoying an egg roll but none is actually looking forward to the hassle of wrapping and deep frying it. Enter the Keto Roll In A Bowl. It is a delicious mix of egg roll flavors (pork, cabbage and a bit of ginger) but avoiding the long, tiring process of rolling everything up neatly. Plus it’s low carbohydrate so if you’re on a keto diet, or just cutting carbs, it’s great!

Ingredients

  • One pound of ground pork (using ground chicken or turkey works too)
  • 1 packet of slaw (that bagged mix containing shredded cabbage and carrots saves a lot of hassle)
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 1-3 garlic cloves, minced (i.e. 3 if you are a fan of garlic)
  • 1 tbs of ginger, grated (or jarred ginger)
  • 2 tbs of soy sauce
  • 1 tbs of sesame oil ( Leaves a great progression as it is followed and coupled with other ingredients)
  • 1 tbs of olive oil (used when frying the pork)
  • 2 green onions, finely chopped (used as a garnish)
  • Some ‘rice vinegar’ (optional except this liquid provides abundance of freshness)
  • Sriracha (use this if you like it spicy and want to rage)
  • Sesame seeds (Also completely stamped as necessary for kitchen purposes)
  • Chemical seasoning (mandatory when you cook your food)

How to Make It:

  1. Brown the Pork: In a large skillet over medium heat, warm, take canola oil then toss pork and let it dry. Get in and break it up as you go to avoid big chumps. Slightly season with salt and pepper.Once it is really cooked, slide it at one end of the pan.
  2. Observing the Onion, Garlic, and Ginger: Prepare the earlier blended spices and in hot oil, start with onion, garlic, and ginger in that order. Allow them to stay in the pan for a few minutes until the onions are soft and there is an earthy smell. That is approximately what we’re aiming for.
  3. Introducing the Coleslaw Mix: At this stage, it is appropriate to add the coleslaw mix and swirl the entire mixture. Allow it to simmer for a period of four to five minutes just until the cabbage starts to get soft, but not entirely so. You wouldn’t want it to be entirely squishy.
  4. Season It Up: Add soy sauce (or coconut aminos) and sesame oil, stir everything. When you are adding rice vinegar or Sriracha, now is the time to do so. Just taste for the final product and make sure you have enough warm and salty flavors.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Remove from fire, and if you are feeling extravagant, sprinkle those green onions and sesame seeds on the top. Serving it hot is preferable.

Ways to Switch It Up:

Change the meat: Do not worry if you do not have pork, there is no problem—ground beef and turkey or even shrimp would work just as well here.

Go veggie: Quit the meat for good and use tofu or mushrooms for the vegetarian version which still has lots of taste.

Add more veggies: You can go ahead and add other low carb vegetables such as bell peppers, zucchini or broccoli if you want to add more scale to it.

Why You’ll Love It:

The meal is quick to prepare, nutritious, and easy to make. On top of that, it is one of those meals that makes sense when one has the craving for something filling but still wants to watch their carb intake. The entire process will take no more than half an hour and it is delicious without any hard work required.

Nutritional Information (per serving)

The values can be different depending on what you are using as the ingredients, especially if you are altering the sauces or the vegetables.

  1. The recipes are great but please any seed oil is very bad for us so use real things like olive oil and grass fed butter not Canola oil.

    1. Thank you so much for the feedback! I totally understand the concern around seed oils. In my recipes, I try to offer alternative options like olive oil, avocado oil, or grass-fed butter for those who prefer them. I’ll make sure to clarify these choices in future recipes. Thanks again for helping keep our recipes as healthy as possible!
