Egg rolls are one of my many, many, many weaknesses.. right up there with cheesecake and chili. I made an incredible keto variation of both, a Blueberry Cheesecake that is creamy and dreamy and a Chili that is fully loaded and brings a tear to my eye because it’s just so dang tasty! Today I bring you another guilty indulgence turned into a guilt free winner.. Keto Egg Roll in a Bowl!

Why it works

1. Family approved! My husband and kids love this Keto Egg Roll in a Bowl as well, making it an excellent weeknight dish!
2. Garlic, ginger and Chinese 5 spice come together to create a super flavourful bowl of deliciousness.
3. Besides it’s yumminess, this Keto Egg Roll in a Bowl is great because it is crazy easy to make and can be ready in 20 minutes!

Ingredients

• ground pork or beef
• sliced almonds
• sesame seeds
• avocado or olive oil
• ginger
• garlic
• ground black pepper
• Chinese 5 spice
• bagged coleslaw or savoy cabbage
• sesame oil
• soy sauce
• green onion

Bagged Coleslaw or Savoy Cabbage – For a faster dish, go for the bagged coleslaw which is already shredded. If you have the time and wish to skip the little bits of carrots that are usually in bagged coleslaw, choose the green savoy cabbage and thinly slice it up or shred it until you have 6 cups.

Soy Sauce – For strict keto, the soy sauce can be swapped out for coconut aminos.

How to make Keto Egg Roll in a Bowl

Start by heating up a skillet on medium heat. If it is not a non stick pan, add 1/2 tsp butter or avocado/olive oil. Once hot, add the sliced almonds and fry just until slightly golden and aromatic, about 2-3 minutes. Add the sesame seeds and fry until golden, about 1-2 minutes more, then pour out the sesame seeds and almonds into a bowl and set aside.

Return the skillet to the heat and add the 1 tsp avocado/olive oil. Peel the garlic and ginger and then either mince them both or grate them with the small side of a cheese grater. Once the oil is hot, add the ginger, garlic and black pepper. Stir into the oil and fry until fragrant, 1-2 minutes, then add the ground pork or beef. Continue to cook, stirring often, until the meat is no longer pink.

Stir in the Chinese 5 spice until fully incorporated, then stir in the bagged coleslaw.

Fry until the cabbage is soft, about 4-5 minutes, and chop the green onion into thin slices. Once the cabbage is soft, stir in the green onions, sesame oil, soy sauce, sesame seeds and sliced almonds. Serve hot!

Expert Tips

1. Be careful when frying the sesame seeds – they will burn very quickly, so keep a close eye on them!
2. I prefer my cabbage cooked until just soft to retain some of the texture.
3. For strict keto, the soy sauce can be swapped with coconut aminos.
