Ingredients

For the Egg Roll Bowl

• 1 pound ground pork – Traditional for egg roll filling, though ground chicken, turkey, or beef also work well.

• 1 tablespoon avocado oil or sesame oil – Helps brown the pork while adding rich flavor.

• 4 cups shredded green cabbage – The heart of every egg roll, providing crunch and texture.

• 1 cup shredded carrots – Adds a touch of sweetness and color.

• 4 green onions, sliced – Adds freshness and mild onion flavor.

• 3 cloves garlic, minced – Fresh garlic gives the dish bold savory flavor.

• 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger – Adds warmth and authentic flavor.

For the Sauce

• ¼ cup coconut aminos – Adds savory, slightly sweet umami flavor while keeping carbs lower.

• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar – Brightens the flavors.

• 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil – Adds classic nutty aroma.

• 1 teaspoon sriracha (optional) – Adds gentle heat.

• ½ teaspoon black pepper

• 1 teaspoon sesame seeds – For garnish.

Ingredient Note: Bagged coleslaw mix can easily replace the shredded cabbage and carrots, making this recipe even quicker to prepare. Fresh garlic and ginger provide the best flavor, but refrigerated garlic and ginger paste are convenient alternatives for busy weeknights.

Instructions

1. Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the ground pork and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon until browned and fully cooked. Drain excess grease if necessary.

2. Stir in the garlic and fresh ginger. Cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

3. Add the shredded cabbage and carrots. Stir frequently for 5 to 6 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften while still remaining slightly crisp.

4. In a small bowl, whisk together the coconut aminos, rice vinegar, sesame oil, sriracha (if using), and black pepper.

5. Pour the sauce over the pork and vegetables. Toss well until everything is evenly coated and continue cooking for 2 to 3 minutes so the flavors can blend.

6. Stir in most of the sliced green onions, reserving a few for garnish.

7. Serve immediately topped with the remaining green onions and sesame seeds. Enjoy as is or serve over cauliflower rice for an even heartier keto-friendly meal.

Troubleshooting

My cabbage released too much water.

Cook over medium-high heat and avoid overcrowding the pan so excess moisture evaporates quickly.

My pork seems dry.

Add an extra tablespoon of coconut aminos or a drizzle of sesame oil before serving.

My egg roll bowl tastes bland.

Add another splash of rice vinegar or coconut aminos to brighten the dish.

Tips & Variations

• Substitute ground chicken, turkey, or beef.

• Boost the vegetables by adding sliced mushrooms, shredded broccoli slaw, or extra cabbage.

• Top with chili crisp or extra sriracha for more heat.

• Garnish with fresh cilantro for added freshness.

• Serve with cauliflower rice or enjoy on its own.

• If you're not following a strict keto diet, stir in chopped water chestnuts for extra crunch.
