Ingredients
For this crave-able low-carb dish, you need the following ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
- 1 medium onion, diced (about 1 ½ cups)
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 5 green onions sliced on the bias (white and green portions separated)
- 1 pound ground pork
- ½ teaspoon ginger powder (or fresh ginger)
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Sriracha sauce, or garlic chili sauce, or more to taste
- 1 (14-ounce) bag of coleslaw mix
- 3 tablespoons coconut aminos or gluten-free soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon unseasoned white rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds for garnish
How to Make Pork Egg Roll in a Bowl
- Heat sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add onion, garlic, and the white parts of green onions to the skillet. Sauté until the green onion is translucent and the garlic is fragrant.
- Add ground pork, ginger, salt, pepper, and Sriracha sauce to the pan. Sauté until the pork is cooked through.
- Add the coleslaw mix, coconut aminos, and vinegar, and sauté until the coleslaw is tender. This will take about 5-7 minutes.
- Top the cabbage mixture with the green parts of the green onions and the sesame seeds before serving. Squirt some additional Sriracha over the top, if desired, for a bit of heat.
Storage and Meal Prep
- Refrigerate: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3 to 4 days.
- Reheat: Warm in a skillet over medium heat or in the microwave until heated through. The cabbage softens a bit more on reheating, but the flavor is just as good.
- Meal prep: Divide into individual containers for easy lunches all week. Keep the green onions, sesame seeds, and extra Sriracha on the side so they stay fresh.
- Freeze: Freeze in airtight containers for up to 2 months, then thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating. The cabbage will be softer after freezing, but it still makes a quick, satisfying meal.

Let us know how it was!How Many Carbs Are in Egg Roll in a Bowl?
Each serving of this Pork Egg Roll in a Bowl has 7 grams of total carbs and 1.5 grams of fiber, for 5.5 net carbs per serving.
A traditional fried pork egg roll gets most of its carbs from the wheat wrapper, and the count varies a lot depending on the size and the restaurant. If you’re tracking carbs, check the nutrition info wherever you buy them. With this bowl version, you skip the wrapper and the fryer but keep the savory filling everyone loves.
Substitutions
If you can’t find a bag of coleslaw mix, you can make your own version by shredding green cabbage. You’ll need about 7 cups of shredded cabbage for this recipe. (One head of cabbage should be plenty.) For extra veggies, I recommend that you also add about 1 cup of shredded carrots to the mix.
If you can’t find Sriracha or garlic chili sauce, you can use your favorite hot sauce, but it won’t be quite the same.
Easy Variations (My Tips)
- Swap the protein: Ground chicken, turkey, or beef all work in place of the pork. Cook chicken or turkey to 165°F and beef to 160°F. For a shrimp version, cook the vegetables first and add peeled shrimp for the last 2 to 3 minutes, just until pink.
- Make it milder: Cut the Sriracha to 1 teaspoon and let everyone add more at the table.
- Make it spicier: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes with the garlic, or finish with a drizzle of chili garlic sauce.
- Serve it over rice: Spoon it over cauliflower rice to keep it keto, or white or brown rice for everyone else.
- Add some crunch: Top with extra toasted sesame seeds or chopped peanuts. Not following keto? One reader loves adding crispy chow mein noodles or crunchy wonton strips on top!

We love this recipe and make it once a week! The only thing we add is a topping of Chinese noodles (sold in a can in the Asian section) or we add crunchy wonton strips! ( sold in the salad dressing section)
That sounds like a wonderful addition (for those who aren’t on a diet)!
