Egg rolls vs. Egg roll in a bowl
One thing I definitely want to call out is that normal egg rolls are really small and meant just as appetizer/snack. This Keto Egg Roll in a Bowl recipe is meant to be a meal.
All right! Let's compare the two dishes and see what their carbs look like...
How many carbs in one egg roll?
One egg roll is about 25 grams of carbs. So if you're trying to eat Keto, egg rolls are probably something you're going to want to skip from the menu!
How many carbs in egg roll in a bowl?
This egg roll in a bowl recipe is estimated to be about 3 grams per serving! Now you can enjoy the flavors of an egg roll without all the carbs!

How many calories in keto egg roll in a bowl?
If you also like to keep an eye on the calories, this egg roll in a bowl recipe is about 440 calories per serving. Of course if you like to eat more just 1 serving it would be more, so make sure to do the math properly!
How to Make Keto Egg Roll in a Bowl (Step by Step)
First, gather your ingredients:
- 2 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 lb ground meat of choice (pork, beef, chicken, or turkey)
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 10 oz shredded cabbage or coleslaw mix
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 2 teaspoon soy sauce (or coconut aminos if paleo/gluten free)
- 2 green onions, diced
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon hot sauce (optional - I recommend Asian-style hot sauces)
Heat 2 teaspoon of olive oil in a wok or large pan over medium-high heat. Add the ground meat, breaking it up with a spatula, and cook until fully done. Remove from the pan and set aside.
If the pan looks dry, add another teaspoon of olive oil. Add the shredded cabbage and garlic, and stir fry for a few minutes until slightly softened.

Lower the heat to medium. Push the cabbage to one side of the pan, pour in the beaten eggs, and scramble. Once set, mix the eggs into the cabbage.

Add the cooked meat back to the pan. Stir in soy sauce (or coconut aminos) and hot sauce if using, then toss everything together until combined.

Storage & Reheating
- Fridge: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days.
- Freezer: You can also freeze portions for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
- Reheat: Warm gently in a skillet over medium heat for best texture. You can also microwave in short bursts, stirring in between, but the cabbage may get a little softer.
Pro tip: If you plan to meal prep, keep the sesame oil and green onions separate and add them fresh when reheating - it brightens up the flavors.
FAQ
Can I make this with a different meat?
Yes! Pork is classic, but chicken, turkey, or beef all work great.
Is this gluten-free?
Yes, as long as you use coconut aminos instead of soy sauce.
What veggies can I use besides cabbage?
Bok choy, napa cabbage, kale, or even broccoli slaw mix all work as swaps.
Can I double this recipe?
Yes! Just make sure your pan is large enough so the veggies don't steam instead of stir fry.
