Sometimes you just have to have an egg roll. But how do you have an egg roll on keto? Ask and you shall receive. This Keto Chinese Chicken Egg Roll in a Bowl is fast, fresh and definitely will not disappoint. I can’t wait for you to make this!
I have always loved Chinese cuisine and honestly, I didn’t think I would be eating it anymore when I started keto. The Mongolian Beef and the fried rice and the potstickers……what would I do? This is when I did some research and although this is not an original recipe, it is a compilation of several egg roll in a bowl recipes and is now what I think is the absolute perfect of them all, Keto Chinese Chicken Egg Roll in a bowl.
How do I make a Keto Egg Roll?
So first let me tell you, we are not actually doing any rolling of anything. This is completely a one pot meal that is served in a bowl, basically a deconstructed egg roll. The ingredients are:
- Diced chicken
- Shredded Cabbage or bagged coleslaw mix
- Riced Cauliflower
- Red Bell Pepper
- Eggs
- Green Onions
- Fresh Garlic
- Salt and Pepper
- Soy sauce or coconut aminos
- Sesame oil
- Sesame seeds
- Crushed Red pepper or cayenne pepper (optional)
Easy ingredients that give you those classic Chinese take out flavors without the sugary sauce, the white rice and the hidden carbs.
Tips for the perfect Keto Chinese Egg Roll in a Bowl
The first and most important tip I can give you when making this dish is MAKE A WHOLE BUNCH! Seriously though, you will see in the video that I make mine in a big electric skillet. This is about the size I make each time I cook up a batch and honestly you could half this, but I don’t recommend it because then you will be sad because you don’t have enough and it is way yummy! This would be a perfect dish for a crowd and could easily be doubled or more. I plan on portioning out our leftovers for lunches as this heats up beautifully.
Another tip I can give you is do not in any way substitute the sesame oil for a different oil. The sesame oil is actually my favorite ingredient in the dish. It gives this Keto Chinese Egg Roll in a Bowl such an authentic Chinese flavor that there is just no substitution for this.
Last tip. If you just aren’t that into chicken then pick another protein. I have made this exact same recipe with pork, but you could use shrimp, crab, or steak, any of these would be equally delicious. If you wanted to make it ‘meatless’ then just increase the amount of eggs and maybe add a bag of stir fry vegetables.
