Egg Roll in a Bowl

When I first discovered this recipe, I had no idea what I was in for. This Whole30, keto-friendly, egg roll in a bowl is a wonderfully flavorful, addictive Asian inspired dinner recipe that the entire family will love. During my first Whole30, I found myself constantly scanning the internet for easy weeknight meals.

A meal that took very little prep but was still packed with flavor was a top priority. Coming from a highly processed standard American diet, I knew that bland, mediocre recipes just wouldn’t cut it for us. Somehow I stumbled across an egg roll in a bowl recipe and knew I had to at least give it a try.

We absolutely love Asian cuisine and I was seriously craving all of the incredibly delicious fares at my local Chinese buffet. I’ve adopted a low carb diet since completing my Whole30 and I’m so excited that I still get to keep this recipe around for the long-term! 

IS EGG ROLL IN A BOWL KETO?

The ability to fit into any diet makes this recipe great. For a keto version, swap the coconut aminos out for soy sauce.  If you do choose to use soy sauce, I recommend using a reduced-sodium brand.

Fish sauce is another soy sauce substitute that is also keto, low carb, and Whole30 friendly. It is a healthier soy sauce alternative as well. If you follow a strict no-sugar diet, omit the store-bought sriracha in this recipe.

For a keto/Whole30 compliant sriracha, Steph Gaudreau has a great Homemade Sriracha Sauce that I recommend. Cholula hot sauce is a keto-friendly store-bought alternative to sriracha that can be used in this egg roll in a bowl.

While coleslaw is low carb, I understand that not everyone loves cabbage. If you’re not a cabbage fan, consider swapping the coleslaw out for a broccoli slaw alternative. 

EGG ROLL IN A BOWL RECIPE TIPS:

When eating wholesome meals and saving time are equally important, meal-prep is vital. The good news is that this egg roll in a bowl recipe is great for meal-prep! 

While the recipe only makes 4 servings, it can be easily doubled for a larger family or to allow for leftovers.  If you’re using this for meal-prep, just remember to keep the sriracha mayo sauce-topping separate to avoid sogginess.

Unlike similar recipes, I like to use ground chicken. Ground pork or ground turkey can also be used, we just prefer the mild flavor of ground chicken to any other alternatives. 

You’ll also notice that my recipe calls for a pinch of ground cinnamon. While this ingredient may seem slightly weird or out of place, it adds a unique flavor that is absolutely delicious.
