Egg Roll in a Bowl

This Keto Egg Roll In A Bowl is a keto twist on your favorite Chinese takeout egg rolls. Only on a keto diet can egg rolls be a perfectly healthy, protein-filled lunch or dinner!

One of the things my family struggled with while switching to the keto lifestyle was missing out on takeout food. Now, we all know eating at home is almost always better and healthier than takeout but sometimes those cravings are just hard to resist! I’ve taken on a personal challenge to make the best keto takeout copycat recipes that I can.

Everyone loves Chinese takeout and this dish is like having a Chinese chef in your own kitchen. The Keto Egg Roll dish provides a new twist to traditional egg roll recipes, turning a carb-loaded appetizer into a protein-filled lunch or dinner, without sacrificing the flavor you love.

This Keto Egg Roll Bowl is essentially a deconstructed egg roll. I took all of the ingredients and flavors I love in traditional egg rolls and tossed them into a bowl instead of a roll. Keto Egg Roll in a Bowl is packed with protein (I used pork but you can substitute your favorite protein) and veggies, making it a guilt-free keto dinner.

The bonus of making this keto egg roll bowl is that not only is it healthier, it’s WAY easier too. Half the battle of making traditional egg rolls is in wrapping the cabbage mixture into the actual egg rolls without making a mess or ripping the dough.  This deconstructed egg roll recipe is a much simpler but equally as yummy alternative.

If you would prefer to use this Keto Egg Roll in a Bowl as a filling, you can also add a low carb wrap made with flaxseed and coconut flour to give this dish a little extra flare.  It makes a great lunch on the go that way!

For those of you who were like me and missing your Chinese takeout but struggling to find any keto Chinese recipes you loved, definitely give this Keto Egg Roll in a Bowl a try! Egg rolls were one of my favorite Chinese takeout items, I ordered them nearly weekly, and now that I’ve discussed the art of a deconstructed egg roll bowl, I no longer even miss ordering takeout!

How To Make Keto Egg Roll In A Bowl:

You are only a few short steps or minutes away from making one of the best protein dishes that they whole family will enjoy!

Step One:  Heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil in a skillet over medium high heat. Once the skillet has come to temperature, add the chopped onion

Step Two:  Sauté the onion for 2-3 minutes until it begins to brown and caramelize 

Step Three:  Add in the minced garlic, and stir constantly, cooking for 30 seconds

Step Four:  Add the ground pork in the skillet and cook until it is browned. Mix it often to incorporate the onions and garlic.

Step Five:  Once the pork has browned, add the bag of coleslaw mix to the skillet. Stir well to mix the pork in with the vegetables

Step Seven:  Sprinkle and serve with fresh chopped green onions on top of the keto egg roll mixture.  

Serve and enjoy!
