This is honestly one of my favorite go-to weeknight dinners!  You can even do some of the prep work ahead of time!  If you don’t have ground pork, you can use beef, chicken or even shrimp.

Tips for Low Carb Egg Roll in a Bowl

  • Most grocery stores sell precut cabbage mix. If you can’t find it, you can certainly chop your own cabbage. To do so, remove the outer leaves of a head of cabbage. Core and quarter it, then using a knife or mandolin, lay the cabbage quarter on its flat side and slice into ribbons.
  • You want to get good color on the meat for flavor, so start off browning your meat on high heat. Once, you add the vegetables, moisture will prevent the meat from browning further.
  • Don’t skip the sesame oil. This is a key ingredient in giving this dish that authentic Asian flavor you’re looking for.
  • Pork is perfect for this Keto egg roll in a bowl. If you use ground beef, make sure you choose the type with high fat content. Fat gives this dish so much added flavor.
  • This recipe is a great make-ahead dish. If you’re meal prepping, include this low carb cabbage dish in your rotation. The flavors are even better the next day! So, go ahead and make a double batch and you’re all set for several days.
  • Leftover egg roll in a bowl can be frozen, in an airtight freezer safe container. You may find the cabbage loses some of it crunch after freezing, but the flavors are still amazing. To thaw, place in the fridge over night and then reheat in a skillet over medium heat.

    So freaking good. I used less 1/8 cup of soy sauce and 1/8 cup of sriratcha and it was perfect! A little spicy but not overwhelming. I added a pinch of Mayo on top and mixed it in to the finished product to give the taste of spicy mayo. Delish. Will definitely make again!

    1. Yay, I love hearing that! The spicy mayo twist sounds amazing. Such a fun idea. I’m so glad you enjoyed it and plan to make it again!

    I used ground chicken and added a egg (advised above). Adjusted the sauce to taste. Absolutely delicious! Thank you!

    I made this for dinner tonight and we really enjoyed it. I made it as written, with ground beef, but without the Sambal as I didn’t have it. Very good ๐Ÿ™‚ Thanks for sharing.

    1. So awesome to hear! I also have tried it with ground chicken and it was so good! I am glad you enjoyed it.
