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!

Ingredients

Ground Pork – In a pinch, ground beef or turkey can be used instead, however, the flavour is way better with ground pork!

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 rolls in a bowl

Start by heating up a skillet on medium heat with 1 tsp 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 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.

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 then chop the green onions into thin slices. Once the cabbage is soft, stir in the green onions, sesame oil, soy sauce, sesame seeds and sliced almonds. Serve hot!

Variations For Keto Egg Roll In A Bowl Recipe

Do you want to alter these keto egg rolls in a bowl? The great thing about this recipe is the ease with which it is to customise or alter the flavour and the textures:

• The ground pork can be substituted by other ground meats such as chicken, beef, or turkey.
• Try other varieties of cabbage, such as Napa or Chinese and add some bean shoots or zucchini noodles. It is also possible to use broccoli slaw or kale slaw, for a tasty twist.
• You can also mix broccoli with slaw instead of the traditional cabbage mix.
• To give your dish an extra salty and sweet spice, try adding Oyester sauce or black bean sauce. They are not keto-friendly though and you should include fish sauce and a tablespoon of brown sugar substitute.
