Enjoy an egg roll minus the carbs and calories. Egg Roll in a Bowl with coleslaw mix is done in just 20 minutes!

Why This Recipe Works

I love deconstructing food. Turning it inside out. Transforming it into something that is different, yet the same. In the case of the delicious egg roll, I much prefer ditching the carbs and enjoying it as a healthy main dish or salad.

Egg Roll in a Bowl can be easily made to comply with the Whole30 meal program, as well as being gluten-free.

This quick and easy savory meal is done in 20 minutes from start to finish. 20 minutes! That’s it! And it tastes far better than take-out from your favorite Chinese food restaurant. Save yourself carbs and cash!

Recipe Ingredients

Ground pork sausage – For an even healthier dish, replace the ground pork with ground chicken, ground turkey or ground beef.

Coleslaw mix, bagged – If you can’t find pre-packaged coleslaw mix at the store, make your own. Thinly slice or grate green and/or red cabbage as a replacement. You’ll need a total of 3 cups of shredded cabbage to add to the recipe.

Carrots – Grate carrots in your food processor or by hand.

Soy sauce – Replace with coconut aminos in order to comply with Whole30 food program and gluten-free dish.

Rice vinegar, sesame oil – To achieve a true Asian flavor, keep these ingredients on hand as they are used in small amounts to achieve big taste.

Ginger – Purchase a small amount of this root because it adds so much flavor zested in if you can use fresh.

How To Make Egg Roll In A Bowl With Coleslaw Mix

In a large skillet, cook the sausage over medium heat until no longer pink. Drain and push the meat to the outer edges of the skillet. Add sesame oil to the center, along with the garlic.

Cook for 2 minutes, or until fragrant. Stir meat and garlic together and add the following ingredients to the pan:

• 16-oz. bag coleslaw mix
• 2 medium carrots, grated
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon ginger
• 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper

Cook mixture for 5 minutes, or until coleslaw and carrots are soft. Serve immediately and top with green onions and sesame seeds.

Recipe Notes

• Serve with additional soy sauce for an extra savory meal.
• This dish makes delicious leftovers and reheats well.
• Shrimp also goes great in this recipe! Saute the shrimp in olive oil first (cook until shrimp are pink-this takes only a few minutes), remove from the pan and add them back at the very end.
• Toss in some fresh bean sprouts and sunflower seeds for additional crunch and veggies.
• If you’ve recently made my Hoisin Chicken Bowl, then you have hoisin sauce on hand and can add in one tablespoon of that for more delicious flavor.
• This is a great meal prep recipe! Prep on Sunday and enjoy throughout the week as a salad, side or snack. Make a double batch!

What is Hoisin Sauce

Hoisin sauce is a slightly sweet and a little salty Asian sauce that is amazing on meat and in vegetable dishes. The texture will remind you of a thick BBQ sauce but is unique in its flavor. Hoisin is based on fermented soybean paste.

How To Add the Texture of a Crunchy Egg Roll Wrapper

If you aren’t avoiding adding carbs to your meal, buy some egg roll wrappers, slice a sheet in half and then slice them into skinny pieces so they look like matchstick size and fry them up in a shallow amount of oil on the stovetop. It’ll be the perfect crunch and topping.
