Questions You May Have!

Can I use a Different Protein?

You sure can! I used ground beef here, but any type of minced meat would work. You can choose from poultry, such as ground chicken or ground turkey, or you can do ground pork.

Can I Use a Bagged Slaw Mix?

You definitely can! I wanted to choose the ratio of carrots to cabbage in this recipe, so that’s why I didn't opt in for a bag mix. However, if you’re short on time, then definitely feel free to use it, since you’ll save time from cutting the cabbage!

Tips To Make the Best Keto Egg Roll

Control the heat as needed. While cooking the ginger and garlic, make sure the pan is not too hot to prevent burning these delicate ingredients. While, sautéing the beef would require you to have the heat much hotter to get browning to add flavour to the dish.
Make sure the meat gets browned evenly since the maillard reaction helps add umami depth to the meat and the dish overall.
For that true “egg roll crunch,” aim for tender-crisp cabbage and carrots. Cook them just until they’re starting to soften but still have a bite.
You can top the dish with sesame seeds, red pepper flakes, spicy mayo drizzle or avocado slices for extra fat and flavour.

For the Meat Mixture

Minced meat: I used lean ground beef, but feel free to use the protein of your choice.
Olive oil: To sauté the meat and the vegetables.
Garlic: Freshly minced garlic cloves.
Ginger: Grate a one-inch piece of fresh ginger root.
Cabbage: Thinly sliced green cabbage.You can use red cabbage if you like the taste of it or if you already have some at home!
Carrots: I used a bag of pre-shredded carrots in this recipe. If you already have whole carrots on hand, then I would encourage you to use those and to julienne them.
Green onions: White and green parts separated.
Eggs: It’s not an egg roll without some eggs! We’ll be using 2 whole large eggs.
Chicken broth: A splash for extra flavour. You can use boxed chicken broth or add some Better than Bouillon chicken flavoured paste with some water, which is what I did! Ideally, you would use Chinese cooking wine in this recipe. However, as I mention in my motivational guide to explore your potential in the kitchen, Make Cooking Fun!!, if you have a suitable substitute, then don’t stress about purchasing a niche ingredient for just one recipe! I actually can’t find Chinese cooking wine anywhere near me, but chicken broth is easily accessible and I use it often. It will do the job perfectly fine in this recipe!

For the Sauce

Soy sauce: Regular soy sauce. You can use reduced sodium soy sauce if sodium is a concern to you.
Rice vinegar: I’m using seasoned rice vinegar, which is salty and sweet. If you’re using plain rice vinegar, add a teaspoon of salt and sugar.
Sesame oil: To add some flavour to the sauce.
Red chilli flakes: A little bit for heat. If you have them, you can use Chinese style chilli flakes, known as Sichuan chilli flakes.

How to Make This Egg Roll Bowl Recipe

Prepare the sauce by mixing together soy sauce, sesame oil, red chilli flakes and rice vinegar.

In a large wok or pan, preheat it over medium heat until it feels warm. Add the oil and garlic, ginger and white parts of the green onions. Sauté for 30 seconds then immediately add the ground beef.

Turn heat up to medium-high, use a wooden spoon to break up the lumps into small bits. Season with salt and pepper.

Keep sautéing and stirring until the majority of the liquid from the ground beef has evaporated but with some moisture left in the pan, about 5-6 minutes.

Add the cabbage and carrots and mix well to combine. Keep stir frying for 2-5 minutes or until the veggies are almost tender crisp.

Deglaze the pan with a splash of chicken broth. Continue cooking while stirring for 2 more minutes and then pour in the sauce. Stir fry for 30 more seconds.

Create a well in the center and crack the eggs. Scramble and then turn off the heat. Mix well and garnish with remaining green onions.

Variation Ideas For Spring Roll Bowls

Protein: As previously mentioned, you can switch up the choice of protein. If you want this recipe to be vegetarian, then replace the ground beef with some tofu. You could also use one of the plant-based ground meat alternatives if you would like. To make this recipe vegan, omit the eggs and use the plant-based protein of your choice.
Vegetables: I kept the vegetables pretty simple here, but if you would like to incorporate more, then feel free to do so! Some other veggies that would work well here include mushrooms, corn, sliced onions, or sliced bell peppers.
Spice: If you are sensitive to spice, you can omit the chilli flakes in the sauce. If you want more spice, feel free to add chilli garlic sauce or sriracha. You could also add in some chopped Thai green chillies or some sliced jalapeños.
Toppings: You could garnish with toasted sesame seeds, or even toasted nuts, such as peanuts or cashews.
