The other day I had some ground chicken that I had intended for another recipe but never got around to making so I thought this keto egg roll in a bowl recipe would be the perfect dish to make instead.

I’m glad I did because this was so easy to make and really tasty! I used ingredients I usually have on hand like ginger, garlic and soy sauce.

So if you are looking for an easy and quick dinner on busy weeknights, you should really try this dish!

Can you eat egg rolls on a keto diet?

No you really shouldn’t eat egg rolls on a keto diet. Traditional egg rolls have roughly 16g net carbs (source).

The primary source of carbs in a regular egg roll is the egg roll wrapper with 13g net carbs! (source) They are very similar to pasta as they are made with flour. That’s why this delicious keto bowl is a good substitute!

What’s in this egg roll in a bowl?

Below you can see the ingredients I used. I bought most of them at Aldi and they were: ground chicken, green onion, olive oil, an egg, fresh garlic, fresh ginger, Swerve brown sweetener, soy sauce, sesame oil and coleslaw mix (can also use plain cabbage and a little carrot).

Please check the Recipe Notes section below for substitutes and other information to help you with this recipe.

How to make this deconstructed egg roll!

As I stated above, this low carb recipe can be done in about 20 minutes. Here’s how I made it.

1. Heat up a large skillet and add the olive oil. Once that’s hot, add in the ground chicken and start browning it.
2. Then add in the crushed garlic and ginger to the ground meat. Mix and saute for another minute or so.
3. Next add in the coleslaw, cover and cook for 3-4 minutes on medium heat.
4. Meanwhile mix the soy sauce, Swerve brown sugar and sesame oil. After that pour in sauce over the cabbage mixture and let cook for 2-3 minutes more.
5. While that is cooking, get a small non stick pan heated up and spray with cooking oil. Beat 1 egg and pour into the pan. Cook the egg and when it’s done, break it up into small pieces.
6. Add the egg at the end, sprinkle some green onions on top and serve.  If you have sesame seeds add them on top too! Please print the recipe card at the bottom of this post.

This is great for dinner and even tastes good the next day for lunch!

Recipe Notes & Tips

• I used ground chicken but you could also use ground pork or ground turkey. You could even use ground beef but I’ve never tried it.
• I really like the addition of sesame oil but if you don’t have any you will be ok.
• A substitute for Swerve brown sugar would be Lakanto golden sweetener or any other kind of sweetener you use.
• I used coleslaw mix to make this quickly. However you could use Napa cabbage which is often used in Asian cooking.  Or just shred your own green cabbage with a little shredded carrot.  Just make sure to make it a fine grating.
• If you don’t want to use soy sauce, you can try liquid aminos or coconut aminos. Coconut aminos are a little sweet so eliminate the sugar if using them. Liquid aminos aren’t sweet so just substitute them 1:1 for the soy sauce.
• This is a great recipe for meal prep or those on a low calorie diet. You can make a big batch and freeze portions for other meals.

Other quick keto recipes that use these ingredients.

If you bought sesame oil or ginger paste, try some of these other easy keto recipes with Asian flavors: chicken lettuce cups, ground beef & broccoli, crab fried rice or shredded Asian beef.

Well I can honestly tell you I loved this low carb egg roll bowl meal. While I ate this for dinner, I would make this for lunch too because it doesn’t take much time at all. Maybe next time I’ll add a little chili garlic oil or hot sauce. Yum!
