This Keto Egg Roll in a Bowl is a low-carb, stir-fry dish that combines ground chicken, crunchy cabbage, and a savory sesame ginger sauce. It’s a quick, easy, and satisfying meal perfect for keto diets.
- 1 lb ground chicken (or ground pork, turkey, or beef for variety)
- 1 tbsp minced fresh ginger
- 4 cups coleslaw mix (shredded cabbage and a little carrot)
- 1/4 cup finely chopped scallions
- 2 tbsp coconut aminos (low-carb soy sauce alternative)
- 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp avocado oil (for cooking)
- 1 tsp rice vinegar (adds a tangy kick)
- 1 tbsp sugar-free sriracha or chili garlic sauce (optional for a little heat)
- In a large skillet, heat the avocado oil over medium heat. Add the ground chicken and cook until browned, breaking it into small crumbles with a wooden spoon. This step brings out the flavor and makes the meat juicy and tender, ensuring it’s the star of the dish.
- Add minced ginger and garlic powder to the skillet, stirring frequently until fragrant. This is where the magic happens – the ginger elevates the flavor profile and gives it that classic stir-fry taste.
- Add the coleslaw mix and chopped scallions. Stir and cook until the cabbage is slightly wilted but still has a crunch (about 4-5 minutes). Don’t overcook – the goal is to maintain that satisfying crunch for a textural contrast.
- Pour in the coconut aminos, sesame oil, and rice vinegar, stirring to combine. Cook for an additional 2 minutes until everything is well coated and the flavors meld together.
- Add salt, pepper, or more coconut aminos to taste. If you want a bit of spice, stir in some sugar-free sriracha or chili garlic sauce.
- Enjoy your Keto Egg Roll in a Bowl on its own, or serve over cauliflower rice for a more filling, low-carb meal. A sprinkle of sesame seeds on top adds an extra layer of flavor and crunch.
