Keto egg roll in a bowl

Keto egg roll in a bowl with browned ground pork, shredded cabbage and carrot, scallions, and toasted sesame seeds in a dark bowl
Serving suggestion — your result will vary

Egg roll in a bowl is the inside of an egg roll cooked in one pan and eaten with a fork. The wrapper is the only carby part of the original, so dropping it is the whole trick — what's left is pork, cabbage, and a savory ginger-garlic sauce.

Twenty minutes, one skillet, and it reheats better than most stir-fries.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground pork (or ground turkey or beef)
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 (14 oz) bag coleslaw mix, or 6 cups shredded cabbage
  • 3 tablespoons coconut aminos (or sugar-free tamari)
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3 scallions, sliced
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds, to garnish
  • Sriracha, to serve (optional)

Steps

  1. Brown the ground pork in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat, breaking it up, until no pink remains, about 6 minutes.
  2. Push the pork to one side, add the sesame oil, garlic, and ginger to the cleared space, and cook 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Add the coleslaw mix and stir to coat. Cook 4–5 minutes until the cabbage wilts but still has crunch.
  4. Pour in the coconut aminos, rice vinegar, and salt. Toss and cook 2 minutes more.
  5. Off the heat, stir through most of the scallions. Top with the rest, the sesame seeds, and sriracha if you like heat.

Notes and swaps

The sauce is where takeout versions hide sugar. Coconut aminos taste close to a sweet soy and run about 1g net carb per tablespoon, far less than bottled stir-fry or hoisin sauce; sugar-free tamari works too. Most of the dish's carbs come from the cabbage and the little bit of carrot in a coleslaw mix, which is why it lands around 6g net carbs a serving.

Ground turkey makes it leaner; beef makes it heartier. Crack an egg into the pan at the end and scramble it through if you want it closer to fried rice. A drizzle of chili oil at the table is the easy upgrade.
