Keto Egg Roll in a Bowl

With one pan and less than 30 minutes, you can enjoy this keto egg roll in a bowl with less carbs, less fat, and no wrapping, frying, or gluten!

Honestly, I don’t eat many egg rolls…especially with the gluten and all. They come as a side to my sesame chicken, but there’s usually so much other food that I don’t eat them. Yet, the flavors in an egg roll are delish! Seriously, garlic and ginger, alone, provide so much flavor, without being overpowering! It’s just...YUM!

That's why I LOVE this dish! It's everything you love about an egg roll- in a low carb, gluten free bowl!

Is an egg roll the same as a spring roll?

Egg rolls and spring rolls are not quite the same; though, they did both originate in China. Spring rolls have vegetables wrapped in a thin flour or rice wrapper. Then, they are served raw or baked. On the other hand, egg rolls usually have veggies AND meat, wrapped inside of a thicker wrapper. Then, these babies are fried to perfection.

Will keto egg roll in a bowl reheat well?

Absolutely! Since there’s no fried wrapper, the meat and vegetable mixture can easily be reheated.

 

What is a ketogenic diet?

Many people find success in losing weight when they follow a ketogenic, or keto, diet. This diet is high in fat, moderate in protein, and low in carbohydrates. This forces the body to burn fat instead of carbs. People eat between 20-50 grams of carbohydrates per day to remain in ketosis.
