    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.

    Skillet with cooked ground meat and minced garlic in the center.

    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

    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.

    FAQ About Cabbage

    Is cabbage good for you?

    Yes, cabbage is a healthy vegetable to enjoy. One cup of shredded cabbage contains approximately 17 calories and one cup of shredded cabbage contains approximately 4 grams of carbohydrates.

    Can dogs eat cabbage?

    All types of cabbage are not only safe for dogs to eat, but are actually beneficial. It aids in digestion and can help to fight disease. Be warned, however, that cabbage can produce gas, so feed it to your dog in small quantities.

    How to cut cabbage?

    Remove and discard the outermost leaves and cut the very bottom of the stem off. Place the head of cabbage on its end where you cut and slice down the center vertically. Cut each half lengthwise. Remove the core and stem by cutting a wedge out of each quarter. Place each cabbage quarter onto a flat portion so it is lying flat and slice 1/4-inch strips, creating shredded cabbage.

      Delicious and easy to fix. Unlike a stir fry, I could cheat and fix the carrots, garlic and ginger while the meat was cooking. The additional carrots are worth the couple minutes of grating! The crunch factor makes this a satisfying main dish.
      I served with jasmine rice I had left over. I’ll try adding a third more of the seasonings as the rice (or noodles) could use the extra seasoning. I added some sriracha to my serving so it compensated.
      Imagine it will be even better as leftovers.

        Hi Patti – great tips. I love creating easy steps for recipes however, like you pointed out, if you’re comfortable in the kitchen, then you can easily combine steps, tweak directions and enjoy what you’d like! Sriracha sounds great!

      Can we use ground chicken instead – no one likes pork sausage – but looks delicious

        Hi Grace, You can definitely switch out the ground pork sausage. If you want to chorizo or ground turkey/chicken, feel free to do so. Ground sausage is already seasoned for you so you may want to add some Everything Bagel Seasoning (https://www.pipandebby.com/pip-ebby/everything-bagel-seasoning-recipe) or your favorite seasoning, like a Kickin Chicken blend. Enjoy!
