Egg Roll In A Bowl Recipe

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Good Keto recipes are hard to find so when you find a recipe like this, you’ll add it to your keeper file.
