Keto Egg Roll in a Bowl is a one-pan dinner made in 15 minutes and is packed with protein and flavor. Made with either ground pork or beef, this Keto recipe tastes just like an Asian egg roll but without the egg roll wrapper.

KETO EGG ROLL IN A BOWL
As I have voiced recently, all my loved ones around me have been doing the Keto diet. I have heard, researched, and cooked all things Keto for the last couple of years. I feel like my life revolves around Keto.
In fact, I joked that any time someone says the word “Keto” around me they have to put a dollar in the swear jar.
If you don’t know what a swear jar is, you’ll probably never waited tables in college.
This Egg Roll in a Bowl is not only Keto but is also a regular dish that I make for the family whether or not they are on the Keto diet.
WHY IS THIS KETO OR LOW-CARB?
Don’t be scared if you aren’t on the Keto diet. The Keto diet is a very low-carb diet which makes this recipe perfect with a net carb of 3 grams.
WHAT IS IN EGG ROLL IN A BOWL?
Egg rolls have ground pork (or beef), cabbage, ginger, garlic, soy sauce, and sesame oil in them. We added some sriracha and green onions to the top for flavor.
DOES AN EGG ROLL HAVE AN EGG IN IT?
A traditional egg roll does not have egg in it but gets its name from the egg in the egg roll wrapper that wraps it all up. We add an egg at the end of cooking this Egg Roll in the Bowl because we love the flavor and extra protein it gives.
If you are doing the Keto diet, eggs are your best friend and are a great addition to this Asian Egg Roll in a Bowl.
WHAT KIND OF MEAT DO I USE?
You can use either pork or beef in this recipe. When eating Keto, it’s really important to have high quality meat that has healthy fat in it.
Grass-fed, organic meat is:
- lower in calories
- contains healthy fats and is high in omega 3s
- supports normal blood sugar levels
WHAT TO EAT WITH EGG ROLL IN A BOWL?
To be honest, usually nothing. It’s a meal all in one!

Notes
I made this for dinner tonight to share with my daughter. I had to use shrimp because that’s the only meat she’ll eat. It was amazing. One of the best things I’ve ever eaten. I’m pretty sure I could eat it everyday and not get sick of it.
So happy to hear that.
This was sooo good! I only had ground chicken on hand and I doubled the cabbage mix. I think this is my new favorite egg roll in a bowl recipe! Thank you!
You’re welcome!
A keeper! Perfect as a make-ahead meal for singles. I love egg, so I added a 2nd. I only had sriracha mayo so I drizzled it over my bowl and had wasabi on the side. The amt of sesame oil scared me – it can overwhelm other flavors – but as I was adding a little at a time and tasting, the entire 2T made it in! I also used fresh ginger, about 1T grated. I went with a cole slaw mix to get the carrot and red cabbage for color, but I could only find that in an 11oz size. Shoulda bought a small cabbage to make up for it as I *love* cabbage. Next time! This would also be great over rice or an asian style noodle if you aren’t doing Keto. A very flexible recipe to suit your tastes!!
Thank you!
I just made this for dinner. Noone has fixed a plate yet, but I’ve been sampling from the pan the past 15 minutes…lol. so good!
Haha the chef always needs to test quality control.
Great recipe! I subbed fresh ginger for ground and added some white pepper for a little extra kick.
Hope you liked it!
Very good and easy to make! I made this ahead for my lunches for the week. Turned out really good. I only made two small changes. I used gochujang sauce because I didn’t have any sriracha and I topped it with some won-ton strips. It was very tasty! It will be worked into my make-ahead lunch recipe rotation on a regular basis 🙂
Ooh I bet the won-ton strips gave a great flavor.

Made it exactly as listed and it is SO GOOD. This is going to become a regular dinner in my house.
Happy to hear that!
Amazing. This is almost all I’ve eaten in quarantine. I put it on some cauliflower rice to make it last a little longer. I also sprinkle some everything but the bagel seasoning on top, because it’s my new best friend.
Haha I bet bagel seasoning is great!
Fantastic, thank you!!!!!! Made it sans eggs and meat as I didn’t have any due to the pandemic, and it was delicious. I’m keto so this made my day. I’ll be making this every time cabbage is on sale. Thank you again.
You’re welcome!
This was great! Although admittedly I did change it a little. I’m not doing keto, so I added some cooked Chinese noodles after the cabbage began to soften, because I wanted to stretch the meal for a few more servings. I also added fish sauce, which I recommend. And I didn’t add Sriracha because I forgot.
But I really enjoyed it! Maybe I’ll add some Sriracha when I eat the leftovers.
Sriracha makes this dish!
I made this dish and I didn’t change a thing in the recipe. It was so good! The second time I made it, I put a tad more cabbage and green onion however that’s just personal preference. It’s definitely a keeper in our house.
Awesome!
Great recipe, i added shrimp also! Yummy!
Your recipe DELISH with ground Sage Sausage. We Instant Pot extra boneless chicken breasts when we need for cubed chicken in stir-fry and shredded for Taco’s etc over the week of dinners. Take a cooked breast, cut in half length-wise and shred. This makes for shorter length pieces in the dish. For chicken dish, I chose Chinese 5 Spice to replace Sriracha and ground ginger. Did not have fresh garlic so heated up chicken and dried minced garlic in preheated sesame oil until barely light golden brown. Add sauce at the end of browning chicken – Replaced 1/4 c. Soy with 1 tablespoon each of warm water, Hoisen Sauce and Oyster Sauce then mix in 2 tablespoons Soy; most of the water added will evaporate and help steam down the Cole Slaw when added. Final mix of at end of cook time – top with cut chives or green onion, pull off heat and let set covered for 3-5 minutes (if you can wait that long to dig in!!)
Umm you changed up the entire recipe. I honestly think recipes should be critiqued solely on making them just the way they are posted with maybe the exception of meat used, in this case ground meat. Otherwise get your own website and post your own recipes.
Leslie you made my day! 😂😂😂😂
Exactly.
😅
I ag
100%!!!
Sounds fantastic! Thanks for the tips Peter.
Peter, I love changing recipes to taste. I see your comment as open, giving and free. My brother follows recipes and I felt it was delish but too salty. And my preference would be to change things up according to my taste.
Some people are just to rigid and follow like sheep without much cooking experience or a drive to create or recreate.
Personally, after eating this recipe-I feel the desire to add bean sprouts, bamboo shoots, mushrooms and organic Tofu or Peking duck.
Basically, there is so much room to improvise and cater to your family’s own taste or mood or what ingredients you have at hand or can afford.
I think Leslie’s cocky defiant comment was funny In a bullying way that could be quite perceived as quite hurtful and controlling; perhaps she Thinks she is funny or is Just not as experienced in creativity and/or is not capable of opening up her mind & heart to loving acceptance in seeing input as a positive.
But there you go, we all have our Own personal options and Honest opinions; so we all must accept her Jabbing remark and my observation. Don’t we!
Peace and love to all.
Life is better when we all stick together through love and acceptance with appreciation for diversity not Spreading hate, hurt and jealous.
Thanks Christy Denney! We loved your recipe; you are a great inspiration so much so I copied your recipe to enjoy in the near future! 🕊💛🕊

Has anyone tried this with chopped stir-fried shrimp instead of pork or beef?????
I bet it would be great. Shrimp take like a minute to cook. I’d throw the raw shrimp in at the end while it’s simmering on low, and put a lid on, and time for 2-3 minutes depending on how big your shrimp are.
I just made this recipe using ingredients I had: I subbed ground chicken for the beef or pork and liked it better than previous versions of this recipe that I made using beef. I used coconut aminos rather than liquid aminos or aoy sauce. I didn’t use sriracha, sesame oil, egg, or green onions though I can see those ingredients would be good. It was still delicious! I topped it with sweet chili sauce (that wouldn’t work for keto) and it gave just the right amount of heat and sweet! I will make this in the future often! We scraped the pan! Thank you!
You are welcome!
Delicious and definitely on the healthy side, though my three bowls may have been overdoing it just a bit. I used ground chicken since it is what we had available, and I can easily see where this would be a staple at our house. It has a lot of the Asian flavors that I enjoy, and as a stir fry, comes together so quickly. I had to add just a little extra salt. Maybe I’ll try regular soy sauce rather than low-sodium next time. That may do the trick. The sriracha sauce added a little salt, but not enough for me. This one is definitely five of five stars. Next time, I’ll try ground turkey. This is a great recipe with a very clever name. Thanks!
Love your recipes. They are staple recipes I love in one place. Please add me to your follower’s list.
Thank you Denise. I will add you!
DEEEEE-licious!!!!
So glad you liked it!
Could leftovers be frozen?
I haven’t tried it but I don’t see why not.
There won’t be leftovers unless you make a double batch.
Then yes.
This has been one of my new go-to’s! I use ground chicken and extra ginger. It’s delicious.
Thank you! We made it this week too!
I kept the cabbage leaves whole, par boiled them and used them as a wrapper. It was really good.
INteresting twist!
Very good! I will probably cut back on the soy sauce a little next time my family thought it was a tad salty….Love it though😊
Were you using low-sodium soy sauce?
Organic, grass fed beef isn’t a problem for me because that’s how my dad raises his cattle. But is the Sriracha optional? Because I really hate the stuff.
I left it out, without any complaints. Just added extra garlic, ginger (paste), and a bit of black pepper at the end.
Yes of course. Just gives it a bite! How lucky that you have a dad that raises cattle.
We make ours with fresh ground sausage. Gives a little more kick if you like hot.
Yes! I love adding sausage.
Thank you for this delicious recipe. My husband and I tried for the first time this evening. He is not on Keto,however, I am. So tasty he ate so much there are no leftovers. Definitely will become a go to meal in our householed.
Yes definitely good whether eating Keto or not.
How is this for leftovers? Is it good reheated? I am restarting keto and last time I did a dish like this my partner ate meat but he’s recently turned veggie. Just figuring out if I want to make smaller portions now or if I can make the same amount I used to and reheat the rest when needed.
Yes we make this and reheat all the time when we make a double batch.
Great w ground turkey,, maybe not as keto but lower in fat..
True!
This stuff is keto CRACk. We love it! triple the recipe and have used different bags of salad. It’s so good!!!!
Niceeee
Do I need to omit the Sriracha for my 3 year olds sake? Or is the amount so negligible that this is still a mild dish? Thanks!
I find it closer to a medium spicy level. What I do when I serve it to my family is only put in a little squirt of sriracha. Then whoever wants more can add more to theirs once its served 🙂
Great idea.
Yes! I would add it individually at the end just in case.
Delicious! Followed recipe… added matchstick carrots, additional cabbage, and used fresh ginger. Love that it’s super simple, easy to double, and is budget friendly. Excited to try with different proteins! Thank you for the tasty recipe!!
I loved it as well ! Just wanted to note with your different proteins. I tried it with shredded chicken (just roasted some chicken breasts and shredded it) and it was so good!
Thanks. Good to know.
You are welcome!
This was SO delicious and easy! Will definitely add this to my very short list of “go to” dishes
Thank you! We love it.
My whole family loved this dish! Considering we have a couple of picky eaters, this dish was a serious hit!! Super easy and very quick to make. Also, ingredients are very cheap, so if you don’t have certain items in your pantry, it will be cheaper than McDonald’s and so much better!!
I have made this dish at least half a dozen times and our family isn’t even on the Keto diet LOL.
Our 20 year old son was home from university and he even has the recipe now and makes it all the time. It really is delicious.
I am actually making this tonight for supper. 🙂
Awesome! We just made it too. It’s definitely not just for Keto people!
This was amazing. My non keto husband added rice noodles, and I topped with sunflower seeds for crunch and kept it keto. Absolutely yummy!!
Ooh I bet sunflower seeds would be great.
Do you have to drain the meat after it is cooked?
I did and it came out perfect!
I just made this tonight for the first time. Never tried it because it just didn’t look or sound too appetizing. Boy, was I wrong! This is freaking amazing! Will be a regular at my house. Thanks for the recipe.
You are welcome Cathleen!
This was great and even better the next day!! It was easy to make and everyone loved it. This is going into the recipe box!
Thanks!
Thanks! We also make a big batch and eat throughout the week.
OMGracious! I’m new to keto and found this. It is INCREDIBLE and will be on our menu at least once a week! Thank you!!
Delicious 😋
This was great – THANK YOU!
16 year old loved it and I have been failing on that front for quite some time:)
I have been making your recipes for several years now. Last summer I jumped on the keto wagon. I was thrilled to find you have added some keto recipes!! I have made this dish twice now and I love it. Everyone at work wanted some last time so I doubled the recipe this time. Only difference was I ran short on cabbage so I tossed bean sprouts into it. Thanks from me and my staff!
This recipe is really great! I took this dish to a community dinner with the name and ingredients, printed out and it went fast. I used the cole slaw mix with carrots and red cabbage in it. I’ll definitely make this again.
Has anyone made this in bulk and put in a crock-pot to keep warm? We need more keto options at church and would love to bring this but not sure what it would be like in the crock pot for a few hours… any suggestions?
This. Is. Incredible. I’ve been intimated your cook more Asian-style dishes just because it seems so complex. This is so simple and FAST yet hits all those flavors, textures, etc that we crave (I used ginger paste & some rice wine vinegar but otherwise as written). The low carb thing is just a huge a bonus! This is going into regular meal rotation & getting sent to my friends/family right after this.
Can I use red/purple cabbage instead of green??
Yes. You can substitute purple for green cabbage in any dish. At the end of the day they just look different. Last year for New Years I had to do cabbage rolls with purple and you couldn’t tell a difference!
Very good! I will probably cut back on the soy sauce a little next time my family thought it was a tad salty….Love it though😊
This was really good and really easy! I used gochujang instead of sriracha as that’s what I had on hand, and it worked well. I also added an extra tsp of garlic to suit my taste. This was a healthy way to satisfy my Asian food craving. Thanks for the recipe.
I omitted the egg and used ground chicken 🥳.. love this recipe make it once every couple weeks now..
I adde some water chestnuts for crunch and some shaved carrot and celery. It’s sooo good!
Basic Q… am I supposed to drain the grease after browning the sausage & before adding garlic? I didn’t…
You don’t have to but if yours is super greasy it would be a good idea. I always use a leaner beef.
I use ground turkey or chicken and toast sesame seeds for the top.. I love making this, awesome dinner, and a lunch or 2.
Sounds delicious!
This is very good but I feel it needs a hint if acid. Something is missing?!?!
I bet a splash of rice vinegar would be excellent here.
Try double the egg and sambal instead of sriracha! Eureka! Oh and wrap in rice wrapper to satisfy your spring roll craving!
Yum!
So very good! My family loved this recipe – we will definitely make this again! Thank you for the recipe!
You are welcome!
This is so good, my kids even love it and they turn their noses up at everything that isn’t mac & cheese or chicken nuggets. It is also super easy to split in half to make a vegan version for my husband and regular for everyone else. Just skip the egg, divide in two, then add tofu to one half and the meat to the other half. I love that I don’t have to cook two separate meals to accommodate different diets which is the bane of my daily cooking. 😉
Always a win when the kids will eat it too!
I was looking online for keto recipes to use up fridge contents and ran across this. I used 1 lb ground chicken, 1 10 oz bag shredded brussel sprouts, and didn’t have sesame oil so drizzled with tahini and sambal oelek. Flipping amazing! Can’t wait to try as written. I could eat this every day.
Yes, try it as written someday. You’ll love it.
I really enjoyed this! It was affordable and easy to put together!!! And the leftovers are great too!
Thank you. We just made it this week!
I’ve made this with ground chicken too, its such a delicious versatile recipe!
Great idea!
Hi can this be cooked and frozen???
Yes!
I was wondering the same!
Trying to rate a 5…but I can’t seem to click it – OMG – I NEVER post anything – but this was frickin’ amazing! I followed the recipe EXACTLY and wow – even my picky son ate it all and said “you need to make this again”. I baked some wonton wrappers so the rest of the family would have some “crunch” and yes…will DEFINITELY make again!!!!
Yay!! win for everyone.
I liked this. *But* pork I used had added salt already. Recipe with soy sauce as made was pretty salty. I used an extra 6 oz of sauteed cabbage to cut the salt. Then…very palatable. Ate with egg-wraps (no carb). Spouse liked it and it satisfied his Chinese food craving.
Yeah I always use low sodium soy sauce
Loved the addition of the egg, it really improved both the taste and the texture of the finished product. I did make one change to the recipe out of necessity – I realized after I had started cooking that there was no sesame oil in the house, so I added a few spoonfuls of hoisin sauce instead. I think the basic recipe is so good that it can be tweaked in a number of ways.
Thank you for saying that!
This was too salty for me. I will just use less liquid aminos next time.
Make sure your meat isn’t salty.
Love it, used a broccoli slaw, but it was so salty, it was burning my mouth, from the comments, just seems like me, I’ve never been too big on slat. I drizzled hoisin sauce over, but still. Waiting for a second opinion before I decide if it’s just me.
How much salt did you add?
How long can you keep leftovers of this and does it still taste good after 2 days. Or would it need to be made fresh each meal?
It will keep in the fridge for a few days. I like think it is even better heated up than the first time around. When I make it I do a big batch and eat it for lunch for several days afterward.
I made this using low sodium soy sauce like the recipe recommended and instead of using plain garlic, i used spicy asian chilli garlic paste and it was good. For those of you saying it was too salty, mine wasnt in fact i think it needed a little salt lol , so i dont know what you guys did wrong .
I agree. They probably didn’t use low sodium or used a salty sausage or beef.
We keep in the fridge for a couple of days.
I am not seeing the Chart that shows the Carb count, Caloric count or Proteins. Does anyone have this?
It’s at the bottom of the recipe!
Made this tonight. Loved it! I didn’t have the sriracha and didn’t add an egg but I did add a package of bean sprouts, just because I missed eating them.
Great addition!
What is one serving size
1/4 of the skillet is one serving.
I am confused about the calories. Maybe I am using the wrong sausage. The 16 ounce package I used had over 1600 calories total. Dividing that by four servings is far more than the 223 calories listed here, not even including all the other ingredients. Even 16 ounces of lean beef is 800 calories. Adding the egg, sesame oil and cabbage takes that above 223 as well.
The recipe is delicious though, just make sure you figure out your own nutritional information if that is important to you.
Yes, so I used Butcher Box beef which is 960 for 16 ounces. The brands you use make all the difference in calories!
That is still 240 calories, if you divide the servings into four, not counting all other ingredients.
I used Nutrifox to calculate the info. It’s a possibility that it’s not correct?
Susie, Thanks for your dedication to finding the truth. I contacted Nutrifox and there was a bug in the plugin. I used MyFitnessPal and calculated the info and it’s corrected and 331 per serving.
My mom and I are ADDICTED to this recipe! The egg addition is amazing. We use lettuce boats to make wraps, but this recipe can be used in so many ways. Everyone is right, this is incredibly versatile and delicious in every way! Saw something about wonton wraps, and I definitely want to give that a go! Easy to reheat, and still tasty for a couple days after it’s made. Honestly can’t give this enough props/kudos. I’m drooling just from thinking about it for dinner tonight! This is definitely our household low-carb go-to! Great job Christie!
Thanks! It was all my husband but we love this too!
High in carbs
Uh, there’s only about 5 net carbs in a serving, I hardly think that qualifies as “high in carbs”
Thanks girl!
This is literally our favorite low-carb day recipe. Definitely agree with you, lol.
How do you figure?
Love this recipe! The only thing I thought it needed was a little bit of sweetness so I added 1 Splenda packet to the finished recipe and it was just the perfect amount for me! Yum!!
Glad you liked it!
Bought enough ingredients for 2 batches. Made 1, had it for lunch with hubby – so good I made the 2nd batch to share with some family members and to have enough to take for lunch this week. This is delicious- needed to add nothing else. Used ground turkey. Thank you for this recipe.
Oh that’s so good to hear Brenda.
I found this recipe when we gave up carbs for Lent. I made it once and was immediately told by my husband I needed to have made a double batch. We made this recipe several times during Lent and continue to make it to this day. We LOVE it!
So glad you love it!
How is this Keto friendly with Sugar in it ?
Is it keto friendly?
This is keto perfect!!
This looks delicious (and easy)! I’m thinking of making it (adjusted to serve 12) for a make ahead recipe for my next book club meeting later this month. Would welcome suggestions from anyone re what else to serve with this! Thank you!!
Sorry. Not sure where you saw sugar but there’s no sugar in this recipe.
What sugar????
Have you tried making this in an instant pot?
I haven’t but if you do it on sautee mode it’s the same as in a skillet.
I forgot to put the egg in mine, but I still loved this. I’m new to the keto diet, but I can say I didn’t eat this good even before I started. This is not lacking for flavor! I even added sesame seeds to top mine for some extra texture.
Bragg’s liquid aminos taste great!
Yes, I second that.
Can wait to try this. I have never used sriracha. Do you use the hot chili kind or the sriracha oil?
Also, what brand of liquid aminos would you suggest.
Thank you. 🙂
This sounds so good! A healthy egg roll! I wonder if it would be possible to wrap it in an egg roll wrapper and bake them. I do not have to follow a specific diet but love this recipe. I was just wondering if it would be possible to bake the ingredients in a wrapper. Thank you!
This was soooooo good. Super quick to make and my family devoured it in less than 10 minutes. I used two eggs instead of one and liquid aminos instead of soy sauce. Super yummy.
This sounds delicious. As someone with Celiac who misses egg rolls, this sounds like the perfect solution (with GF soy sauce, of course). Can’t wait to try it. Thanks!
How long can you keep leftovers of this and does it still taste good after 2 days. Or would it need to be made fresh each meal?
this is one of most interesting recipe and such an easy and delicious dish….Thanks for sharing….!
Thank you Samantha!
Something must have recently changed on your print side, as when I print one of your recipes now the letters come out in a strange looking font. I have seen this happen on other blogs in the past, but yours just started when I printed this recipe. I have printed many of you recipes over the years with no issues except for recently.
Oh no! What browser are you using? You might need to clear the cache. What is happening?
This was such an easy and delicious recipe! My husband and I really enjoyed it
So glad you enjoyed it!
