{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
Could I ask how much one serving is considered to be? Thanks. 🙂
Delicious! Also like to know how many servings this recipe makes. I’m sure I ate more than 1 serving. lol
This recipe yields 4 servings. Divide the pan in 4 to figure out serving or weigh it and divide by 4. Weight will vary for each person that makes it depending on brand or type of meat.
Made this for the first time tonight and will be making it again! Really easy (no chopping veggies) and no weird ingredients. I’m looking forward to leftovers!
Do you know the nutritional information for this dish. It was perfect
Yes, it’s listed at the bottom of the recipe
Where did the actual recipe go? I’ve been using this recipe for years and over the last few weeks, the recipe itself seems to have disappeared? The page is still here, but no recipe.
Um I still see it?
I’ll start by saying that nobody in my family is on a Keto diet. But we do try to keep the carb count down when we can. So keep that in mind when I mention a couple of “tweaks” I do when I make this, to suit my family’s preferences. The first one being, I almost double the amount of shredded cabbage to lighten it up some. Now for the decidedly non-keto tweaks…
Now, we LOVE good, crunchy egg rolls, dipped in a little bit of sweet and sour sauce. That’s the flavor we’re accustomed to, that’s all. So after making this recipe exactly as written, it was good. Really good, easy, and flavorful. But there was a “something’s missing” reaction from everyone. Now when I make it, I pass around a bag of salad-topping style crispy wonton strips to sprinkle on top, and a squeeze bottle of Korean style sweet chili sauce to barely lace over a serving. And *voila,* nothing at all is missing now! The carbs are still much lower than a regular egg roll, and the flavor is spot-on.
We LOVE this. We make it all the time. We used Cudighi in it and it just rounds out the whole dish.
I have leftover shredded pork (lighltly seasoned) and I am wondering if I can use that instead?
I don’t see why not?
I think that sounds delicious!
Can the left overs be frozen in an air tight container.. too much fir one person
sure!
Made this for the first time last night and it was delicious. Easy to make. Used fresh garlic instead of minced. Thinking of trying it in the crock pot with chicken next time.
I just made this and found it to be very salty. Any thoughts?
Try using less soy sauce. Or if you seasoned the meat do less.
Did you use low-sodium soy sauce? What kind of meat did you use.
Try Coconut Aminos! I use that instead of soy sauce. Healthier for you too
Yes I have that listed in the ingredients!
I wonder if you could use shrimp?
You can!
I have been telling my daughter for a couple of weeks that I am craving an eggroll but just the insides (low carb 4 mos now and all). I just made this…literally. And it definitely hits the craving spot! I am ginger/sesame shy (just learning to use those flavors in cooking) so I went light but definitely need to add more now that I am tasting it. I tossed in some ground black pepper and red pepper flakes for the heat (didn’t have sriracha on hand). Really good, super easy, cheap, fast, healthy and tasty! wins across the board! 🙂
Glad you liked it!
Delicious 😋
Thank you!
I’m making it again this morning. It is so quick and easy to throw together with such low effort. Just need to be in the kitchen to stir every few minutes and it is done. Perfect to make at the end of a meal prep while cleaning up or in the morning while making coffee, packing lunch, etc. Speaking of lunch, that is why I made it this morning s for lunch the next couple of days. I eat this in three servings with an extra sriracha (that is an auto correct that I can’t fix) and sprinkled with some sesame seeds. So good!
Don’t understand comments criticizing the recipe when it says in the comments that they changed the recipe. Follow the recipe or don’t complain!
Thank you Jennifer!
Hi, if I am using minced ginger how Much would I add please?
You can use teaspoons of fresh minced ginger to replace the 1 tsp of ground ginger in this recipe
It was sooooooo good! Thank you!!! Shared the recipe with friends!
Thank you!
I don’t eat any animals that walked on four legs nor do I follow Keto. I made this with ground turkey. It worked best for me to add ginger, garlic and soy to taste only and not premeasured in any way. I was able to bring out the ginger flavor without it being to much and could taste the soy without any danger of it being too salty. I used ground dried garlic for convenience sake and probably could have used more than I did. I used prepackaged cole slaw, which worked really good.
This is a good recipe and one can take the idea, as I did and modify it to suit they specific dietary guidelines. I think next time I’ll double down on garlic and use more of a cabbage to turkey ratio. Other than that it came out a delightful meal.
Absolutely delicious recipe and followed it completely!
Thank you!
WAYYYYY too salty and I love salt! Took the advice of many previous commenters and used reduced sodium soy and even put in less than the 1/4 cup and it’s still so overpowering salty and soy tasting.
I’ve made this many times and it is not salty. The recipe calls for low-sodium soy sauce. The only thing I can think of is your meat/
It says LOW SODIUM SOY SAUCE! Read the recipe!!
Thank you!
Loved it.. Great and easy …only thing is if u are salt sensitive, I would lower the soy sauce even the low sodium with half water half soy…..way salty to me when I did it regular way….
I made this tonight. Delicious and SO VERY EASY! I mixed kikap manis soy sauce with low sodium soy sauce (50/50). The kikap manis sauce is thicker & even lower in sodium than the low sodium soy sauce. It has a little sweetness to it so it may not be low carb/keto. Haven’t looked at the sugar/carb count on it yet. Anyway, this is definitely a keeper recipe!
I am making this tonight… and I am using oyster sauce instead of soy… and only two TBS… and a sweet onion… its cooking as we speak… yum…
Love this recipe! Just diagnosed with pre-diabetes, so tasty low-carb meals like this are helpful.
I use ground turkey (got high cholesterol too!) and I add a can of bean sprouts – not sure if they’re keto, but they don’t spike my blood sugar.
This actually freezes well, which makes it convenient for work lunches or when my husband decides to whip up a decadent meal that I can’t indulge in.
So happy to hear that and I hope you check out the other Keto recipes.
I used regular soy sauce. BIG MISTAKE. It had to be the saltiness dish I’ve ever eaten. If I had been in a restaurant, I would have returned it. However. I give it a thumbs up for ease of making and there was a distinct egg roll taste.
Yeah it definitely needs low sodium soy sauce.
When figuring out serving size it says makes 4 , so do I just get the entire thing separate it to 4 as best as I can and that’s one serving or is there a more precise way ?
That’s what I do. The most accurate way is to weigh the whole dish and divide by four.
Can you use ground chicken?
Absolutely!
I use sausage. Good stuff!!
This is my go to recipe for ERIAB. I ran out of soy sauce & substituted Worcestershire & it turned out quite good! Also, since I make this for myself, I always add 2 bags of coleslaw mix & love it like that but this time I had an extra bad that I didn’t want to waste so ended up using 3 bags of slaw mix. Some extra soy and hot sauce & it was perfect. I always use ground pork so for myself, this was great.This is a recipe you cannot ruin. 😎😎
❤️❤️❤️ this recipe! ThAnk you! Very flavorful and easy to make. Will make often.
Thank you!
Hi. I can’t wait to try, I have a silly question, if I bring this to work, can I re-heat in the microwave? For how long? Ty!
I reheat this all the time. 30-45 sec stir and check. I do cauliflower rice on the side. I bring extra soy in case it needs it
Love this recipe but still making tweaks to adjust it my husband and mines preferences. The first time I followed the directions exactly (used low sodium soy) and it was veryyyyyy salty and I this is coming from someone that loves salt!!! Second time I made it I used I added water chestnuts, cut down the amount of soy to a little over 1/8 cup and added ~1 tbs of hoisen. It was close to exactly how I want it but I’m thinking I need to try ground pork or chicken instead of beef! Regardless great recipe and one of those that’s really easy to tweak to your specification!
Yes, just about 2 minutes will do!
