This Egg Roll in a Bowl always wins me over. You get all the tasty insides, not a wrapper in sight. Only takes a half hour and uses just one pan. That combo of crunchy veggies and savory meat with a kick of sauce is a total crowd-pleaser at my place.
Why It Feels Special
It's speedy, foolproof, and fits right in with keto eating, so it's my trusty go-to for busy nights. I'll throw in whatever's hanging out in my fridge and it never disappoints. I get why it's blowing up—one bite and people are hooked.
What Goes In
- Veggie Oil: Use just enough to coat the pan and get things going.
- Sesame Oil: Adds a real takeout vibe that's tough to beat.
- Soy Sauce: I like low-salt so I can control the seasoning.
- Fresh Garlic: Chop it up small. Fresh really does make a difference.
- Seasonings: Grab onion, garlic, ginger, and something spicy if you want heat.
- Carrots: Baby carrots or shredded—both are good.
- Coleslaw Mix: Big time saver, no need to slice cabbage yourself.
- Onion: Dice it up, it gives all those layers of flavor.
- Ground Beef: I reach for lean, but turkey, chicken, or pork totally work too.

Make It Yours
If you're skipping meat, tofu or a mountain of veggies totally work. Crack an egg in for something extra. Toss in peppers or mushrooms—no wrong answers here.
Ways To Serve
Honestly, I just eat it out of the pan most days but it’s also killer piled over hot rice. Watching carbs? Use riced cauliflower underneath. It plays nice with plenty of Asian favorites for a bigger meal.
Stay Tasty
This keeps fine in the fridge for four days, super handy for meal prepping. I love stacking it in containers for easy grab-and-go lunches. Tastes even better after it sits overnight.
Quick Reheat
Toss it in the microwave or heat in a skillet—either works fast. A dash more soy sauce brings everything right back to life. Just watch so you don’t nuke it too long.

Easy Win
What I appreciate is it’s got all the goodness of egg rolls without fuss. One pan, hardly any cleanup, and you can switch up ingredients however you want.
Fits Keto Living
No wrapper, so all the joy and barely any carbs. Team it with cauliflower rice and you’re set for a guilt-free dinner.
Mix It Up
Feeling bold? Use lamb or shrimp. Turn up the spice with Sriracha. Fresh herbs like basil or cilantro kick things up a notch.
Grab Sides
I’ll often pair it with cool cucumbers. If I'm extra hungry, I might throw dumplings on the side. Everything just works together—it's filling and fun.

- → Can I change the meat used?
- Sure! Swap with ground chicken, turkey, pork, or plant-based meat alternatives.
- → Why not break up the meat smaller?
- Leaving the pieces bigger adds texture and makes sure they don’t blend too much with the veggies.
- → Can this be prepped ahead of time?
- Yes! Store it in the fridge for 3-4 days. Cabbage might get softer, but the taste gets better.
- → Is there a substitute for coleslaw mix?
- You can use shredded carrots and cabbage—about 6 cups cabbage and a cup of carrots works well.
- → How do I make this less salty?
- Use low-sodium soy sauce or start with a small amount. Coconut aminos are also a nice swap.
