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!

Tastes great, a little too spicy for me, next time I will leave out the garlic chili sauce but will make this recipe again.

This was so good! And what a great way to use up broccoli stalks. I know it says 8 servings but my husband and I ate all of it for dinner tonight! Thank you for sharing your great recipes!

One of the best chicken dishes forever, I made it two times in my home to follow your guideline and get an amazing taste. Especially the sauce tossed with chicken gives a delicious flavor. My observation regarding this dish is if you want spicier you must use hot sauce and red chili. Thanks for sharing with us.
Elle says
Also good cold and raw. Just add cooked chi Ken chunks to the ther ingredients and stir. I call it crunch lunch.
Eleanor says
Excellent stirfry recipe!! Delicious and crunchy. I halved the soy and substituted more rice wine vinegar, but thats just my personal taste. 😘 Thank you for posting.
Maggie says
I'm a huge fan of your pork roll in a bowl, so I tried this one out last night and it was fantastic! I love the texture of the broccoli slaw so much, and it actually reminded me a little bit of noodles. Next time I make it, I think I'll add some crushed peanuts and fried egg and make a healthy version of pad thai! Thanks so much for this wonderful recipe.
Jill says
I made this dish the other day and loved it. It is an easy and delicious asian stir fry, and the broccoli slaw is a great substitute for noodles. I will add julienned fresh ginger next time. Thank you Kyndra!
Karen says
I'm confused. Where's the egg??
LaRissa says
Never really one to leave comments but I just had to comment on this one! Literally just finished eating this with my family and it was a HIT!! Even my very picky daughter ate every single veggie in this dish. I paired it with brown rice for her and hubby. I only put the siracha in mine and that little bit of spice set it over the top. DELISH! I had to add some green beens since I didn’t have enough cabbage and I didn’t have toasted sesame seeds but still so SO good! Will definitely be trying more of your recipes!

Just want to say that I have the same chopstick! LOL, what a coincidence. By the way, I'm putting your recipe in a round-up post. Great recipes!
