Description
Easy Keto Egg Roll in a Bowl is a quick, low-carb dish that mimics the flavors of traditional egg rolls without the wrapper, using ground meat, cabbage, and Asian-inspired seasonings for a satisfying meal.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (or sesame oil)
- 1 pound ground beef, pork, or turkey
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger (or ground ginger)
- 14 ounces shredded cabbage or coleslaw mix (about 5-6 cups)
- ¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce (or coconut aminos for paleo/whole30)
- 1 large egg (optional, for added protein)
- 2 teaspoons Sriracha (optional, adjust to taste)
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil (for drizzling)
- 2 tablespoons sliced green onions, for garnish
- Toasted sesame seeds, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil (or sesame oil) in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
- Add the ground meat of your choice (beef, pork, or turkey) to the skillet. Break it apart with a spoon and cook until it’s fully browned and no longer pink. Drain any excess fat.
- Stir in the minced garlic and grated fresh ginger. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add the shredded cabbage or coleslaw mix and the ¼ cup of low-sodium soy sauce (or coconut aminos) to the skillet. Cook, stirring frequently, until the cabbage softens to your desired tenderness, about 5-7 minutes. If the mixture seems too dry, you can add a tablespoon or two of water.
- If you’re adding an egg, push the cabbage mixture to one side of the skillet to create a well. Crack the egg into the well and scramble it until cooked through. Then, mix the scrambled egg into the rest of the ingredients.
- Stir in the Sriracha (if using) for a touch of heat.
- Remove the skillet from the heat. Drizzle the entire dish with 1 tablespoon of sesame oil for an authentic flavor.
- Serve immediately, garnished with sliced green onions and a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds.
Notes
- Use coconut aminos as a gluten-free alternative to soy sauce.
- Adjust Sriracha to control spiciness.
- This recipe is keto-friendly and low-carb.
