This low carb sesame chicken egg roll in a bowl is a delicious spin on the classic pork version that everyone knows and loves.
A whole30 spin on traditional keto egg roll
Anyone who knows me, knows that I am obsessed with my Pork Egg Roll in a Bowl Recipe. I eat it multiple times per week. When I find a recipe I like, I stick with it. I am the type of person that can eat the same foods over and over without getting tired of them.
In addition to the egg roll in a bowl, I also eat my Dill Chicken Salad recipe every week. They are both really easy to prepare, making for the perfect easy keto meal. Great for those hectic weeknights where you need a delicious 30 minute meal, or a quick and easy one pot meal. Both of these recipes keep well in the fridge, making them excellent for meal prep. As we all know, staying prepared and setting yourself up for success is essential to losing weight on a keto diet.
Nailing the flavors in this asian keto meal
After eating the pork variation of Egg Roll in a Bowl for so long, I started changing things up each time I would make it. Adding a little more ginger, switching up the meats, using more vinegar etc. Each time was just as good as the last. But I decided that it was time to make a Sesame Chicken Egg Roll in a Bowl variation.
You will see that it shares most of the same ingredients as the pork egg roll in a bowl recipe, but in different proportions and with one big change. Instead of using coleslaw, I made this chicken egg roll in a bowl with broccoli slaw. It is SO good, and it really adds to the dish. Once the broccoli slaw cooks down and gets tender, it almost takes on a noodle like texture.
How to make keto broccoli slaw
Most grocery stores carry broccoli slaw, you just might not know it because you have never looked for it. If you can't find it, I recommend asking a produce clerk to point you in the right direction. Alternately, you can always substitute and equal amount of shredded cabbage or coleslaw mix. You can even do half coleslaw and half broccoli slaw. That is one of my favorite ways to eat it.
Whole30 compliant Chinese food recipe inspiration
I think one of the reasons I love these recipes so much is that they have the classic Asian inspired flavors that I missed from take out. Now I can have my healthier version of Chinese take out while keeping it low carb and Whole30 compliant. Healthier Chinese food recipes? Yes, please!

This was bomb!! I've tried so many disappointing egg roll in a bowl recipes. The flavors here were just right! I didn't have broccoli slaw on hand but I had everything else. I used the Costco Taylor Farms Asian Cashew Chopped Salad bag, which includes sesame seeds for garnish. Can't wait to make it with the slaw!

i have all of your cookbooks and we have your recipes on regular basis every week several times a day and we both love the Pizza Eggs and the Pork and or Sausage Egg Roll Bowls. My husband is obsessed with them and I can not wait to try the chicken one. I am thawing the chicken and will make tomorrow. You are such an inspiration and help and we are so grateful for everything you do and share with us.
