Keto Egg Roll in a Bowl (with Eggs)

If you need a simple weeknight meal that’s low-carb, high in protein, and packed with flavor, this Keto Egg Roll in a Bowl is it.

It’s inspired by the classic flavors of an Asian egg roll, but without the wrapper, making it perfect for keto, paleo, or gluten-free diets.

Plus, the addition of scrambled eggs gives it a boost of protein and makes it extra satisfying. Ready in just 20 minutes, this one-skillet meal is a lifesaver for busy nights!

Egg Roll in a Bowl (with Eggs)

Surprisingly, a lot of “egg roll in a bowl” recipes skip the eggs altogether—despite what the name suggests.

Traditional egg roll wrappers are made with eggs, flour, and water, so when you ditch the wrapper, you’re often leaving the eggs behind too.

I like to add scrambled eggs back into the mix for an extra boost of protein and to keep the flavor and feel closer to a classic egg roll.

Ingredients (Makes 6 Servings)

  • 1.5 lbs ground pork – I like to use mild breakfast sausage because it adds extra flavor without needing a ton of seasoning. You can also use plain ground pork and season it to your liking.
  • 1 ½ tablespoons sesame oil – This gives the dish that classic, toasty flavor you expect from stir-fried takeout dishes.
  • 1 medium onion, diced – Adds a savory base and a bit of sweetness as it cooks down.
  • 1 ½ tablespoons minced garlic – Garlic brings big flavor and pairs perfectly with the pork and sesame oil.
  • 1 ½ bags (18 oz total) shredded coleslaw mix (or 6 cups shredded cabbage) – I prefer using coleslaw mix because it typically includes shredded carrots and sometimes purple cabbage for color and extra nutrients. But plain shredded green cabbage works too!
  • 3 large eggs, lightly beaten – Scrambled into the dish for extra protein and to bring it closer to the flavor of a traditional egg roll.
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce or coconut aminos – This adds the savory, umami punch. Use coconut aminos if you’re avoiding soy or going strict keto.
  • Salt and pepper to taste – Season at the end once everything is combined to avoid over-salting, especially if your soy sauce is on the saltier side.
  • Optional toppings:
    • Sliced green onions – For a fresh, crisp bite.
    • Sesame seeds – Adds a subtle crunch and nuttiness.
    • Sriracha or chili flakes – For some heat.
    • Sweet and sour sauce – I love adding a drizzle for a tangy twist, just make sure to choose a keto-friendly version if you’re watching your carbs

Instructions:

1. Heat sesame oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground meat and diced onion. Cook until browned and cooked through, breaking it up as it cooks.

        2. Stir in the garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.

        3. Push the meat mixture to one side of the pan. Pour the beaten eggs into the other side and scramble until just set.

        4. Mix the scrambled eggs into the meat, then add the coleslaw mix and soy sauce.

        5. Stir-fry everything together for 5 to 6 minutes, until the cabbage is tender but still has a little crunch.

        6. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve warm, and top with green onions, sesame seeds, or a drizzle of sriracha if desired.

          Serving Suggestions:

          • Serve it as-is for a fast, filling low-carb dinner.
          • Add cauliflower rice for extra volume and fiber.
          • Wrap it in large lettuce leaves for an Asian-style lettuce wrap.
          • Use leftovers as a savory breakfast scramble the next morning.

          Make It Your Own:

          • Swap ground pork for ground chicken, beef, or even a plant-based option.
          • Add mushrooms, shredded carrots, or chopped bell peppers for extra veggies (adjust carbs accordingly).
          • Use tamari or coconut aminos for a gluten-free or soy-free option.
