This Keto Egg Roll in a Bowl is our family’s answer to busy nights! It’s ready in minutes, packs in a ton of flavor, and it’s good for you, too! These egg roll bowls are healthier than take out and have all the same flavors.
My husband loooooves Asian food.
It’s probably the hardest part about sticking to a low carb diet for him.
Well…that and cookies. The man REALLY likes cookies too. 😉 Luckily, our keto peanut butter cookies keep him pretty happy.
You definitely CAN eat at Asian restaurants and stay low carb, but it’s trickier than most restaurants, in my opinion. So, we skip the take out and we make this keto egg roll in a bowl recipe instead! Another favorite is our keto chicken stir fry.
You’ve probably seen various versions of this floating around the internet. It’s one of the more popular keto recipes, with people following low carb and with people just looking for a quick, healthy meal.
We often make this sausage egg roll in a bowl, but this chicken version is my personal favorite. It’s hard to go wrong with chicken – everyone loves it!
What Is Egg Roll In A Bowl?
It’s pretty much just a deconstructed egg roll. In a bowl! That means all your favorite egg roll ingredients without the wrapper or the carbs.
I think I might enjoy keto egg rolls more than just regular egg rolls. Sure, the crispy fried wrapper is great but you can make a meal out of an egg roll bowl and customize it just the way you like!
I’ve added soy sauce and ginger as well as a sesame oil topping for even more Asian inspired flavor. You’re going to love this keto deconstructed egg roll in a bowl recipe!

Chicken – We’re using ground chicken today, but beef, sausage, or ground pork work well too! You can even use shredded chicken.
Coleslaw Mix – Keep things simple with this recipe and just pick up a bag of coleslaw mix from the store. No need to shred your own cabbage and carrots, but you’re welcome to do so!
Eggs – Believe it or not, most egg roll recipes don’t actually contain any eggs. But that’s okay, because this keto egg roll recipe doesn’t actually contain any rolls. We’re really switching it up!
Seasoning – We love adding in lots of great Asian flavors to this dish, and you’ll get all that with some ginger, soy sauce, garlic, sesame oil, and green onion. Oh, and we usually serve it with a drizzle of sriracha!
- This is a 15 minute dinner – so fast!
- Easy to customize by swapping out the ground chicken for whatever protein you like best.
- This easily satisfies that Asian food craving, which can be tricky on low carb since it’s often full of sugary sauces.
How To Make Keto Egg Roll Bowl:
- Chicken – Start by browning some ground chicken with a little oil in either a large skillet or a wok until it has cooked through and crumbled.
- Coleslaw Mix – When the chicken has cooked through you can add in the bag of coleslaw mix along with the garlic, ginger, and soy sauce. These will add the perfect Asian inspired flavors to this keto egg roll in a bowl recipe! Cook for another 5 minutes while stirring or until the cabbage has softened.
- Eggs – True story: Egg rolls are named egg rolls because of the wrapper – not because there are eggs in the filling! So, the eggs here aren’t super traditional, but it’s a nice way to up the protein and stretch this dish even further. Push the cabbage aside to make some room in your skillet and then crack a couple of eggs and scramble them up before mixing with the cabbage and chicken!
- Finish – I like to give this a little taste and make sure the seasoning is where I want it before stirring in some green onions and drizzling it with a little sesame oil. A dash or two of more of soy sauce really amps up the flavor and, if you like it spicy, drizzle on a little sriracha or stir in some sambal oelek. A bit of fish sauce amps up the flavor too and gives it a deeper savory vibe. This dish is ready in just 15 minutes and it’s a real crowd pleaser around here! Serve it up with a side of my cauliflower chicken fried rice.
If you choose to use a wok for this recipe and you’re looking for a good one, this is the wok that we use! See the FAQs below for more info on whether or not you should use a wok.
Substitutions & Variations:
I’ve used some pretty standard egg roll ingredients in this recipe but you’re welcome to customize it and make it your own! And since we’re serving it in a bowl you have more options than you might if it were wrapped.
Try some of these different ingredients/toppings:
- Protein: I used chicken but I also love ground sausage, pork, turkey, and beef! Shredded chicken works too. If you’re going meatless you can use tofu or a plant based ground meat!
- Veggies: The coleslaw mix is a pretty standard egg roll ingredient but you can also use bell peppers, mushrooms, onion, broccoli, bok choy, and more!
- Sauces: Soy sauce is my go to but hot sauce, Srichacha sauce, chili sauce, low carb teriyaki, fish sauce, low carb Hoisin, and many more will only add more flavor! Coconut aminos are a good replacement for the soy sauce.
- Toppings: Toasted sesame seeds are a great topping that add a bit of crunch and a toasty, nutty flavor. Chopped peanuts are another great topping!
Meal Prep:
This recipe is easy to meal prep and it reheats very quickly in the microwave!
Make a single or double batch and portion it out into your favorite meal prep containers. We love these.
Store in the fridge for up to 5 days and reheat in the microwave for 2-3 minutes.
FAQs:
You can keep this keto egg roll recipe stored in the refrigerator for about 3 to 4 days in an airtight container!
When making egg roll in a bowl, you can use either a skillet or a wok. If you have a wok, it will work great as the large size and high edges make it easy to stir the mixture together as it cooks.
We’re adding scrambled eggs to our egg roll bowls. Traditionally, the only egg found in an egg roll is in the wrapper, but we like the extra boost of protein a couple of eggs adds.
