Tips for Egg Roll in a Bowl Crack Slaw
Many people use ground beef for this but I really like using a mix of ground chicken and pork.
The only other tip that I want to be sure to point out is one key ingredient.
Natural Rice Vinegar with zero carbs and sugar is Key to an authentic Keto Egg Roll in a Bowl taste!
Rice vinegar is important to the taste of the sauce but they are generally loaded with sugar so be careful! You want to find an all natural rice vinegar that has zero carbs and zero sugar for this recipe.

Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 10-15 minutes
Serves: 4
Ingredients for Keto Egg Roll in a Bowl:
- 1 lb. ground chicken or pork sausage or ½ pound of each
- 2 c coleslaw mix
- 1 c Sui Choy or Baby Bok Choy, shredded
- 1 c bean sprouts
NOTE: To make this Keto Egg Roll in a Bowl even easier, you can use 4 cups of Coleslaw mix instead of the other veggies. I often use whatever I have on hand but I do like it best with some bean sprouts.
Sauce
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- 2 T. toasted sesame oil
- ½ – 1 T. fresh ginger, finely grated
- 1 T. rice vinegar (be sure it is sugar free!)
- 2 T. Braggs or coconut aminos or tamari or soy sauce
Sea salt and black pepper, to taste
Directions for Keto Egg Roll in a Bowl Crack Slaw:
- Heat a large high-sided skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken or sausage meat and cook, crumbling the meat while it cooks for about 5 minutes.
- While the meat is cooking add the sauce ingredients to a small bowl and stir with a fork.
- Once the meat is cooked, remove from heat and drain some of the excess fat but leave about ¼ cup or so in the pan. This is not an exact science, you want to leave just enough in the pan to cook the rest of the dish without burning.
- Return skillet to heat and scrape up brown bits from the bottom of the pan with a wooden spatula. Reduce heat to medium and add the coleslaw mix, asian vegetables and bean sprouts.
- Season with salt and black pepper, to taste, and cook, stirring frequently, until the vegetables wilt, approximately 4-5 minutes.
- Add the sauce mix and stir to combine for 1 minute or until heated through.
- Remove from heat and transfer to a serving platter or bowl.
- Garnish with chopped green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds.

I think I have been doing this for decades. I call it “stir fry anything”. I don’t like vinegary sauces so I make up my own mixes with 5 spice powder, curry powder or bean paste. it is such a small amount that I don’t even count the carbs per serving. sometimes it has an egg beaten in, sometimes I use broccoli slaw mix, sometimes romaine lettuce shredded, sometimes it is just what ever need to go from the crisper. I like to keep bamboo shoots & water chestnuts on hand just to make it “more Korean” as my friend Ok Cha says. She and I used to make fresh KeemChi to eat with this.
That’s exactly what I do as well! To me crack slaw is huge broad recipe that is ground or sliced meat, veggies and and bent toward an Asian flavor. It’s a staple around here!
Can you use breakfast sausage or rotisserie chicken?
Absolutely! I think I’ve made this with every meat available! It all works!
