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 An Eggroll 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.
Should you have any leftovers, be sure to store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

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.

Simple low-carb food swaps, stocking the kitchen, reducing waste, keto on a budget, tools and gadgets, techniques, meal plans, dining out, dining in, and navigating alcohol on a low-carb diet.

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)!
