This keto-friendly version of egg roll in a bowl is packed with satisfyingly crunchy vegetables and savory seasonings, making it an excellent addition to your meal rotation.

Ingredients:

– 1 tablespoon olive oil

– 1 pound ground pork or ground turkey

– 1 small onion, finely chopped

– 3 cloves garlic, minced

– 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger (or ½ teaspoon ground ginger)

– 1 small head cabbage (green or purple), shredded

– 2 cups broccoli slaw or coleslaw mix

– 3 green onions, thinly sliced

– ¼ cup soy sauce or tamari (for gluten-free option)

– 2 tablespoons rice vinegar

– 1 tablespoon sesame oil

– 1 teaspoon sriracha (optional, for added spice)

– salt and pepper, to taste

– sesame seeds and chopped cilantro for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

1. In a large skillet or wok, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the ground pork or turkey and cook until browned and cooked through. Break up any large pieces with a spatula as it cooks.

2. Add the chopped onion to the skillet, stirring occasionally, until softened – about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger and cook for another minute, until fragrant.

3. Stir in the shredded cabbage and broccoli slaw or coleslaw mix. Cook for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are softened but still maintain some crunch.

4. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce (or tamari), rice vinegar, sesame oil, and sriracha (if using). Pour the sauce over the cooked meat and vegetables, stirring well to ensure an even distribution of flavors.

5. Continue cooking for another 3-4 minutes, allowing the sauce to fully absorb into the dish. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

6. Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the sliced green onions.

7. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped cilantro, if desired. Serve your keto egg roll in a bowl immediately.

Recipe notes:

– For a vegetarian or vegan version of this recipe, substitute ground pork or turkey with crumbled tofu or meatless ground crumbles.

– Feel free to add other veggies such as bell peppers or edamame for more variety.

– For a more authentic taste experience, use toasted sesame oil instead of regular sesame oil.
