Additional Notes
Recipe adapted from BunsInMyOven.com
Note: I used my Spiralizer Vegetable Slicer to slice the cabbage, which made it easy. You could also shred using a cheese grater or knife to thinly chop if desired. To make this egg roll in a bowl recipe even faster, you could also substitute with prepackaged coleslaw mix.
We loved how this Egg Roll in a Bowl tasted and how easy it is to prepare as a one pan stir fry meal!
You can easily add and subtract ingredients to taste. Next time I may add an egg or two! Overall, this is a must try idea!

Lina, I just adore you! And all the hip to save “additions” for that matter. Just curious, do you have the nutrition information?
Thanks girls for all you do ❤️
We just use a bag of coleslaw mix instead of all the veg. So easy and delicious!
Great idea!
Great idea!
Thank you! This looks so easy and HEALTHY!!! No bad carbs to ruin everything 🙂
Ya it’s a delicious idea that happens to be low carb! 😜
Excellent! Thank you Lina….healthy & looks easy enough to make for this NON chef. lol 🙂
Can you please post the nutrition information for this recipe? I need to know the carbs and serving size please.
Yummy- just put this on the dinner menu for next week!!
YUM
Mmmm, this is a good one! I’ve made this before and it totally takes care of my eggroll fix!
My kids love this recipe! Thanks for reminding me to make it again 🙂
Leave those carrots out and this is low-carb
Carrots are not a bad carb. They provide fiber which actually helps slows down the absorption of the natural sugars that carrots have.
Carrots are a starchy carb. They’re not low-carb and are not typically allowed on low carb or keto diets.
There is no such thing as a bad carb. Your body can’t tell the difference between a chip or a stick of celery when it comes to absorbing the carb. Carbs are essential and very healthy. If you are gaining weight it’s because you are in a surplus. Science.
If your going to use ground beef how would you season it?
salt, pepper, cayenne if you like spice
I vote “5 spice”
Thanks for the recipe! Cant’ wait to try it.
Sure! I hope you enjoy 😀
Are those shiitake mushrooms?
Yes! 👍
We made this 2 weeks ago!! We found the recipe on FB! It’s so delicious!!
We’ve made a similar recipe, but turned it into Eggroll Soup by adding 2 c. each of beef and chicken broth. Season to taste w/ salt & pepper. Delicious…
Can you use powdered ginger (ie. McCormick)? How much would you use?
Powdered ginger gives a different taste than fresh ginger root, I would not substitute one for the other. Buy a small piece of ginger root from the produce section. You peel the brown peel by scraping it with a spoon. There are lots of ways to store the unused ginger root. I find the easiest way is to simply freeze it with the peel on. When you need to use it, let it soften a little, then peel it and grate it. You can use the unused root to make ginger tea…it’s very good for you. A few slices in a cup of boiling water, add lemon and or honey and let sit for 10 minutes.
Thanks Beverly
If you avoid or can’t have soy try coconut aminos as a soy sauce replacement! It also has way less sodium.
Great idea! Thanks Rae
Thank you for the recipe idea!
Been making this for a few years, it’s de-lish!
Great idea for when I start my whole30. Will substitute the soy sauce.
Thus sounds fabulous!! Thank you for sharing!
You’re welcome Catie!
My family loves this. I sub coconut aminos for the soy and make a hot mustard to serve with it.
Totally making this! Looks amazing!
Another coconut aminos user here 👍🏼!!
Does the coconut aminos taste similar to soy sauce? I was wondering before i buy it.
Weird question…. IF I wanted to, could u put in egg roll wraps…? Tia 🙂
of course. that’s what I’d do…love me some carbs lol
Ya I think you could!! Yum
Also referred to as crack slaw. As someone who has done keto over a year, this is a staple in my home. Love it!
I have done something similar with this on my own, leaving the meat out and adding broccoli slaw and peppers. You could also do a simple “unstuffed pepper” using the ingredients of a stuffed pepper to your preference and instead of stuffing the pepper, cut the pepper up and making a one pan meal, or do the same way with “unstuffed cabbage rolls”. It saves a ton of work and time to make it and saved the heating of the oven for those of us who live in the south.
Does anyone know the carb and fiber counts?
Made this tonight. I substitute Veggie Crumbles in place of the meat. Used low sodium soy and added a little cayenne pepper and lime juice. Pretty good for a low carb option.
Calorie count?
How many weight watchers points is this I want ti try it , it looks amazing
What is the nutritional info?
Substitute the cabbage for broccoli slaw. AMAZING!
Thank you so much for these recipes. The egg roll in a bowl is our new favorite. Amazing! We aren’t necessarily Keto, just my husband does low carb since his blood work came back “pre-diabetic”. He said NO THANKS to diabetes and reversed the numbers majorly and lost about 30 pounds just with a low-carb diet. I’ll sneak in a carb here and there when I’m out but try to honor the diet at home. These recipes are very motivating. There’s something for every food mood! Keep up the great work Lina!
This is so nice to hear!!! Yay. Makes my day and I’m so happy about your hubby. 👍
Hi Lina,
I hope you’re doing well . What brand of ground sausage do you use or recommend in this recipe? Thank you!!
Deb
Hi Deb, you know what? I don’t have a recommendation for a fav brand. Sorry – I just use what’s on sale 🤷♀️ or a local brand. Sorry that not very helpful! 😀
i made this and its wonderful always looking for something new. Thank you
Oh great! Thanks for sharing 😀
I just tried adapting this for a slow cooker and it turned out really well. Thanks for the inspiration.
Sounds yummy! Several have asked for the nutrition breakdown. Do you have that available?
We are just a few months into low carb/keto and enjoying it so far. It was so great to find we could eat plenty of flavorful food without all the starch that used to weigh us down. Just discovered this recipe and had it for dinner tonight….soooooo good! Thought about just using canola oil instead of the sesame, but am so glad I didn’t. The sesame oil really adds that distinctive egg roll flavor.
Would love to try it but no one seems to be answering the questions regarding the nutritional information. Strange since most of the other questions are being answered?

We don’t provide nutritional info as of right now on hip2save but this recipe is also on our site Hip2Keto and has all the info there https://hip2keto.com/recipe/keto-egg-roll-bowl/
It says low carb but no numbers
Our Keto website has the nutrition label here —-> https://hip2keto.com/recipe/keto-egg-roll-bowl/
For all the keto Peps wondering about the macros…
When I entered it into the keto app, it comes out to 298kcal, 22g fat, 12g carbs, 11g protein per serving. Depending on the brands/products you use…Without 🥕 carrots….It’s 285kcals, 21g fat, 10g carbs, 11g protein per serving.
I hope this helps.
What kind of sausage do you use? Breakfast sausage? Italian?
I think on this day I used Italian but breakfast would work too!
Does anyone know the nutrition info on this meal?
We posted it on our Keto site with nutrition at bottom of recipe – hth
