    Pinnable image - egg roll in a bowl

    Egg roll in a bowl is a healthy deconstructed egg roll without the deep-frying! It’s a low-carb meal packed with veggies and flavors, ready in 20 minutes!

    If you love egg rolls as much as we do, but looking for a healthier low-carb (keto) option, then this recipe is for you! It’s a meal that you can throw together in just 20 minutes, which makes it a perfect weeknight dinner.

    Sometimes it’s referred to as inside out egg roll because it’s basically an egg roll filling served in a bowl (without the wrapper or the deep frying!).

    Egg Roll Bowl Ingredients

    • Your favorite protein – I used ground turkey, but feel free to use ground chicken, beef, or pork.
    • Coleslaw mix – or shredded green cabbage, and shredded carrot. Or, broccoli slaw mix.
    • Green onion, ginger, and garlic – go for fresh if possible.
    • Soy sauce (or coconut aminos if strictly keto) and sesame oil for flavor!
    • And finally, salt, pepper, and oil for sauteeing.

    How to Make Egg Roll in a Bowl

    1. Cook ground turkey – Heat oil in a large pan or skillet, add the turkey and break it up into small pieces with a spatula as it cooks. Season with salt and pepper, and cook until it’s no longer pink. Drain fat if necessary.
    2. Add garlic and ginger, and cook for 1 minute until they’re fragrant.
    3. Next, add your veggies and sauce (soy sauce and sesame oil), and saute until the vegetables are softened (about 3-5 minutes). Remove pan from heat, and serve in bowls with creamy chili mayo (recipe fellows below).

    Veggie Option

    You can turn this into a vegetarian meal by replacing the meat with scrambled eggs, or vegan by using tofu or tempeh instead of ground turkey.

    Customize Your Deconstructed Egg Roll!

    Feel free to add more vegetables to your deconstructed egg roll, such as green beans, shredded red cabbage, mushrooms, peas, sliced bell peppers, broccoli, etc.

    You can also add rice noodles (not low-carb), or scrambled eggs. Sometimes I like to top my bowl with a fried egg, and it takes this egg roll bowl to the next level!

    As for the flavorings, you can add things like hoisin sauce, Chinese 5 spices, and honey.

    Egg Roll Sauces

    The sauce is a MUST, don’t skip it! It’s my favorite part of the recipe and it really makes a big difference. You can either make your own homemade sauce, or simply use sriracha or hot sauce. Below are my favorite homemade options:

    Creamy sriracha mayo – Adds creaminess and flavor to the dish, simply mix 1 cup of mayo with 2 tablespoons of sweet chili sauce, and 1 tablespoon of hot sauce or sriracha. If you like it spicier, feel free to add more sriracha.

    Yum yum sauce – a hibachi restaurant classic, and my favorite sauce to have with Asian recipes. Follow this link for the recipe.

    Sweet and sour sauce – ditch the store-bought bottle, and make your own! Seriously, it’s SO easy, healthier, and tastes much better than store-bought sauce.

    Meal Prep and Storing

    This recipe is perfect for meal prep, you can make a large batch and store in individual airtight containers for up to 4 days in the fridge.

    It also reheats easily in the microwave, or in a pan over the stovetop. Reheat without any toppings, then top with fresh herbs, green onion, and sauce.

      I loved this! I actually doubled the amount of soy sauce and sesame oil (bc it seemed it needed it) and it turned out amazing. It was so quick and easy, too!

      Made this last night and it was a hit! We loved it. My husband, 15 month old and I all had two servings! This is definitely going into our regular rotation. I liked that it truly was a 20 minute meal. I feel like that’s never accurate but for this one it is.
