Keto Egg Roll in a Bowl
I don’t know what it is about egg rolls, but I just simply love them. I spent a long time avoiding them after deciding to eat keto. Until recently, that is….
There is this whole world out there of “in a bowl” type dishes. I’m sure you’ve seen them. Big Mac in a bowl is a biggie right now too!
Now while I will admit the crisp egg roll outside is one of the best parts, you can easily get past that once you take a bite of this full flavored keto egg roll in a bowl!
How to Make a Keto Egg Roll in a Bowl
Add olive oil to large pan over medium heat. When the oil is heated, add ground pork and cook thoroughly. Break up any large pieces.
Push the meat to one side of the pan and add the purple onion, garlic powder and ground ginger. Mix spices with onion.
Saute just until onion is soft, about 3 minutes.
Mix onion mixture with meat mixture. Add half of the coconut aminos and Sriracha to taste. Mix well.
Add the coleslaw to the pan, drizzle the chicken broth over it then the remaining coconut aminos sauce.
Add more Sriracha as desired.
Saute until the coleslaw is completely soft, usually about 10 minutes. Add additional coconut aminos and/or Sriracha to taste.
Are Carrots Keto Friendly?
This is one of my favorite questions to answer! Of course carrots are keto friendly! Now if you sit down and eat an entire bunch of them you might go over your daily allotment of carbs in which case THAT is something you may need to consider. But carrots themselves? Have at’ em!
Besides, this keto egg roll in a bowl dish has minimal carrots anyway. Just enough to enjoy!
If you are struggling with this idea, I invite you to take a few moments and read Keto Weight Loss and Inflammation where we dive into the “That’s Not Keto” topic.
What to Serve with Gluten Free Egg Roll in a Bowl?
The nice thing is that you don’t have to serve ANYTHING with it if you don’t want. It is a complete meal all on its own.
But if you have growing kiddos at home that have never-ending stomaches like mine do, then a nice keto dinner roll or drop biscuit will go nicely.
How Many Net Carbs Are in an Egg Roll in a Bowl Serving?
There are only 4g net carbs in each serving of this savory and totally low carb egg roll in a bowl dish.
A complete meal with protein, fat and a minimal amount of carbs with only 4g net carbs can fit just about anyone’s macros for the day.
Do I Need to Use Sriracha?
You definitely don’t. I do recommend using some sort of hot sauce or mild sauce to complete the flavor, but if you are sensitive to heat, then you can use a different sauce.
Or you can use sriracha in smaller quantities as the heat dissipates pretty well in this larger dish.
