Egg Roll in a Bowl is a quick and easy low-carb, keto-friendly dinner featuring ground pork and fresh vegetables tossed in a flavorful sesame sauce. Ready in just 15 minutes, this stir fry is perfect for a healthy weeknight meal packed with savory, tangy, and slightly spicy flavors.

  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground pork
  • 6 cups shredded cabbage
  • 3/4 cup shredded carrot
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic

Sauce

  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sweetener (golden monkfruit for keto)
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons chili garlic sauce
  • 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil

Optional Toppings

  • Green onions, sliced
  • Sesame seeds
  • Peanuts, crushed
  • Crushed red pepper flakes

Instructions

  1. Brown the pork: In a large, deep skillet over medium heat, cook the ground pork until it is fully browned. Drain off any excess grease to keep the dish light and less oily.
  2. Add vegetables: Add the shredded cabbage and carrot to the skillet with the browned pork. Cook the mixture over medium-low heat to slowly soften the vegetables without burning them.
  3. Prepare the sauce: While the vegetables cook, combine the minced garlic, soy sauce, sweetener, rice vinegar, and chili garlic sauce in a jar. Secure the lid tightly and shake vigorously to fully mix the flavors.
  4. Toss with sauce: Pour the prepared sauce over the meat and vegetable mixture. Using tongs, toss everything together ensuring the stir fry is evenly coated with the sesame sauce.
  5. Cook until tender: Continue cooking the stir fry, stirring regularly, for 5-6 minutes or until the cabbage is tender but still slightly crisp.
  6. Add toppings and serve: Remove from heat and garnish with optional toppings such as sliced green onions, sesame seeds, crushed peanuts, and crushed red pepper flakes to add crunch and extra flavor.

Notes

  • You can substitute ground pork with ground chicken or turkey for a leaner option.
  • For a gluten-free version, use tamari or coconut aminos instead of soy sauce.
  • Adjust the chili garlic sauce amount to control the spiciness.
  • This recipe keeps well and makes great leftovers stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
  • Serve with cauliflower rice or steamed vegetables to keep it low carb and keto-friendly.
