{KETO} Egg Roll in a Bowl
Keto Egg Roll in a Bowl is a one-pan dinner made in 15 minutes and is packed with protein and flavor. Made with either ground pork or beef, this Keto recipe tastes just like an Asian egg roll but without the egg roll wrapper.
KETO EGG ROLL IN A BOWL
As I have voiced recently, all my loved ones around me have been doing the Keto diet. I have heard, researched, and cooked all things Keto for the last couple of years. I feel like my life revolves around Keto.
In fact, I joked that any time someone says the word “Keto” around me they have to put a dollar in the swear jar.
If you don’t know what a swear jar is, you’ll probably never waited tables in college.
This Egg Roll in a Bowl is not only Keto but is also a regular dish that I make for the family whether or not they are on the Keto diet.
WHY IS THIS KETO OR LOW-CARB?
Don’t be scared if you aren’t on the Keto diet. The Keto diet is a very low-carb diet which makes this recipe perfect with a net carb of 3 grams.
WHAT IS IN EGG ROLL IN A BOWL?
Egg rolls have ground pork (or beef), cabbage, ginger, garlic, soy sauce, and sesame oil in them. We added some sriracha and green onions to the top for flavor.
DOES AN EGG ROLL HAVE AN EGG IN IT?
A traditional egg roll does not have egg in it but gets its name from the egg in the egg roll wrapper that wraps it all up. We add an egg at the end of cooking this Egg Roll in the Bowl because we love the flavor and extra protein it gives.
If you are doing the Keto diet, eggs are your best friend and are a great addition to this Asian Egg Roll in a Bowl.
WHAT KIND OF MEAT DO I USE?
You can use either pork or beef in this recipe. When eating Keto, it’s really important to have high quality meat that has healthy fat in it.
Grass-fed, organic meat is:
- lower in calories
- contains healthy fats and is high in omega 3s
- supports normal blood sugar levels
WHAT TO EAT WITH EGG ROLL IN A BOWL?
To be honest, usually nothing. It’s a meal all in one!

Notes
I use about 2 and a half bags of Cole slaw mix per lb of whatever ground meat I’m using – lean beef, pork, turkey, or chicken. I double the sauce ingredients. I use half low sodium soy and half aminos, a healthy glug of rice vinegar, sesame oil…. Double the scallions and add shredded carrots if I have them. Makes a ton and reheats very well.
I wasn’t sure what to expect when I made this. Wow!!!! After the first bite, I was stoked! Having recently started keto, I was in need of meal ideas. This is delicious, very flavorful and definitely hits the spot. I don’t even miss the whole egg roll! I’ll be making this again! Thank you for sharing!
Love this recipe!! Made it several times. Maybe this will help others … use chicken broth if you need liquid, add frozen peas/carrots mix, use fresh ginger.. those are my tweaks 🙂 absolutely delicious. Thank you for recipe!
Is the nutrition information listed with pork or beef? Thanks 🙂
Beef
Do you use sriracha powder or sauce?
I use sauce.
I love this recipe! I just made it for two days of lunches for me and my husband. We tasted it and he said ‘That’s really good” – our 12 year old daughter also really enjoyed it.
Modifications: I used ground chicken – was out of ground ginger so subbed 1/8 tsp allspice & 1/8 tsp turmeric- cooked egg separately
I have already sent this to a few friends who also meal prep lunches and they are going to try it.
Thank you for sharing this!
Thank you for sharing!
This was sooooo good! I’ll probably tweak this recipe in the future because I can’t help myself, but it’s perfect as-is. Instant weeknight staple!
Awesome!
Overall great! I used ground pork. I also used fresh ginger (google the conversion). I chopped the green onion and added the white parts into the sauté and the green parts for the garnish (hello fresh style). My only downvote is that it was a bit too salty for us. Doesn’t look like anyone else said this though. Next time I’ll do half the amount and add more liquid aminos to my bowl if needed. Sesame seeds were a nice addition too!
I’ve never had it salty. I wonder if it’s the pork you used?
Spot on with the saltiness… it’s the amount of soy sauce in the recipe. I typically double or triple this recipe, but found that the salt (even with low sodium) is extremely overwhelming, so I cut the amount at LEAST in half, sometimes I only use 1/4th the amount… balances the flavors immensely!
Are you using Kikomans? Mine is never salty with that.
Love this recipe!!! Served over a little brown rice, delicious! Also used lean ground beef 😋
How much is 1 serving? 1 cup, 1.5 cup?
There are 4 servings in one batch. It will depend on your cabbage and but is probably around 1.5 cups.
I e made this before and have always enjoyed it. Tonight I was cooking and realized I was out of soy sauce. I substituted Worcestershire sauce and guess what…still delicious!!
AWEsome!
OMG this recipe is amazing. Family loved it. It’s surely a keeper. THANK YOU!!!
Thank you!
This is not a comment but a question. Can you make this vegetarian. I am not a big pork eater. Would I need to adjust the spices in any way.
Thanks
You wouldn’t need to adjust the spices. I know others have made this with tofu
I plan to make this with TVP (textured vegetable protein) since it is similar to ground meat. Mushrooms may be a good sub, too.
Mushrooms worked really well for me. I also added another egg.
This is now one of my favorites.
Awesome!
Is it possible to make this in advance, refrigerate and then later reheat? I’m thinking about taking this to a pot luck event. Thanks you.
Yes, just cook the cabbage barely so when you reheat it won’t be mushy.
My whole family loved it. Going to make a double batch.
So happy to hear that!
So good and so easy! Great favor, definitely in our weekly rotation!!
Thank you!
This was AMAZING! So glad I found this recipe!
Yay! I’m glad you liked it.
Made this for this for the first time and LOVED it! So delicious, easy and affordable! Did I say YUM? Definitely, going to be a weekly meal for me! Thank you!
Awesome! Glad you liked it.
Yummy and very delicious and healthy- great recipes
Thank you!
So yummy! I shredded a whole cabbage and 4-5 carrots and an onion. Because of the large amount of cabbage I doubled the soy and ginger and it turned out great. My 4 year old helped make it and enjoyed eating it, too. Thanks for the recipe!
I thought this recipe was FANTASTIC! ONLY change I made was to use Chili Oil instead of Sriracha. Totally going to make again! Thank u!
The last person’s crabby comment moved me to post my own review. My family loves this recipe, which I also double. I add shredded carrots too.
Aww thank you!
I have made this multiple times. I love it! ! I even add bean sprouts, Absolutely delicious! I am a low carber and not only is this healthy but definitely low carb and I have reversed my type 2 & have been diabetes medication for 7 years with low-carb meals like this. Delicious meal. I use amino’s and Sriracha w shaved carrots, Ginger, minced garlic, sesame oil and sometimes use a couple of eggs . I’m adding leftover ground turkey with ground pork tonight so it will last longer and feed more!! I garnish with spring onions. Delicious. Thank you for your Great recipe!
Who ever wrote this recipe is full of it.. we have a large family so i made a double batch of this, and wasted the money.. Each batch made per instructions.. this taste NOTHING like an eggrolll.
This recipe literally has the ingredients that are in an egg roll. Attempt to be kinder when using free recipe sites.
Sorry but this is my FAVORITE recipe. It’s healthy and delicious!
Did you follow the directions? It tastes exactly like an egg roll minus the crunchy shell. You’re in the minority here dude.
Also can add wonton strips for a crunch to give it that egg roll bite! sorry it wasn’t for you.
I made this but added 1 tsp munk sweetener and 1 tbsp sugar free apricot jam to the soy sauce . It was delicious.
Yum! Great idea
Great with ground turkey! Served over spaghetti squash. Added raw shredded carrots as garnish for crunch.
Great idea!
Delicious. Thank you!
Thank you!
Hello. Looking for great healthy recipes
Can these be made ahead and frozen. Then what’s the best way to thaw them and reheat them?
I have the same question! Did you try doing this?
I would thaw in the fridge overnight and heat up in a skillet.
I add a lot of garlic and some chopped kimchi to this. Always yummy!
