Make this quick, one-pan Egg Roll in a Bowl for a high-protein, low-carb dinner. It captures all the savory flavors of a traditional egg roll without the wrapper. Ready in 20 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 pound ground pork (or ground turkey)
  • 1 small yellow onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can water chestnuts, drained and chopped
  • 1 (16 ounce) bag coleslaw mix (shredded cabbage and carrots)
  • 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce or tamari (for gluten-free)
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar substitute (or sweetener of choice for Keto)
  • 1 teaspoon sriracha or chili garlic sauce (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Heat the sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the ground pork to the skillet. Break it up with a spoon and cook until browned, about 5 to 7 minutes. Drain off any excess grease.
  3. Add the chopped onion to the skillet and cook until softened, about 3 minutes.
  4. Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  5. Add the chopped water chestnuts and the coleslaw mix to the skillet. Stir well to combine with the meat.
  6. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce (or tamari), rice vinegar, sweetener substitute, sriracha (if using), and black pepper to create the sauce.
  7. Pour the sauce over the pork and cabbage mixture. Stir continuously until the cabbage wilts slightly and the sauce thickens, about 3 to 5 minutes. Do not overcook; you want the cabbage to remain slightly crisp.
  8. Remove the skillet from the heat. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
  9. Serve immediately, garnished with sliced green onions and sesame seeds. This is a great low carb egg roll skillet option.

Notes

  • For a Paleo or Whole30 compliant version, use coconut aminos instead of soy sauce.
  • If you prefer ground turkey, this recipe works well as an easy ground turkey recipe.
  • Serve this deconstructed egg roll over cauliflower rice for a complete meal.
  • This recipe is excellent for high protein meal prep; store leftovers in airtight containers for up to 4 days.
