🔪 How to Make Keto Egg Roll in a Bowl

Heat a large skillet to medium heat and brown the pork

While the pork is browning, mix together your sauce: chicken stock, Liquid Aminos, Sambal, Sriracha and toasted sesame oil.

Create a well in the center and add the ginger and garlic, cook another minute (careful not to burn the garlic, it will become bitter).

Mix together and add in the white parts of the sliced green onions and cook for another minute.

Add in the coleslaw mix into the pan.

Then stir in the sauce mixture.

Cook for 3-5 minutes, depending on how soft or crunchy you want your cabbage. 

Top with the sesame seeds, a drizzle of Sriracha and green parts of the sliced green onions. Serve immediately and enjoy!

☑️ Storage Instructions

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days.

💡 Tips for Egg Roll in a Bowl with Pork

• 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. I like to add a little extra sesame oil over the top before serving.
• 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.

🔄 Substitutions and Additions

• If you can’t find coleslaw mix or prefer to make your own like I do, thinly shred some green cabbage, red cabbage and carrots.
• Coconut aminos can be used to substitute liquid aminos. Tamari or soy sauce can also be used instead.
• If you don’t like pork, you can use beef, chicken, ground turkey or shrimp instead. You can also omit the protein all together if you’d like.
• Thinly shredded bell pepper can be added, simply sauté it along with the cabbage.
• If you like mushrooms, sliced shiitake mushrooms would be a great addition.
• Snow peas would also be a great addition, making it more like a stir-fry.
• Along the lines of a stir-fry, broccoli would also work well.
