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.
