A quick and easy low carb egg roll in a bowl recipe featuring ground pork, cabbage, and a savory blend of seasonings. Perfect for busy weeknights, this one-skillet meal delivers the flavors of egg rolls without the carbs or mess.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground pork
  • 4 cups green cabbage, shredded
  • 1 cup carrots, shredded
  • 3 green onions, sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce (low sodium preferred)
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or avocado oil

Instructions

  1. Prep your veggies: shred 4 cups of green cabbage and 1 cup of carrots. Slice 3 green onions thinly. Mince 3 garlic cloves and grate 1 tablespoon fresh ginger.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 lb ground pork, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until browned and no longer pink, about 8 minutes. Drain excess fat if needed.
  3. Stir in minced garlic and grated ginger. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, stirring frequently to avoid burning the garlic.
  4. Add shredded cabbage, carrots, and green onions. Toss well and cook until cabbage softens but retains some crunch, about 5-7 minutes.
  5. Pour in 3 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil, and 1 tablespoon rice vinegar. Add red pepper flakes if using. Stir to combine and cook for another minute.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed, keeping in mind soy sauce adds saltiness.
  7. Serve warm, garnished with extra sliced green onions or a drizzle of sriracha if desired.

Notes

Avoid overcrowding the pan when browning pork to get a good caramelized flavor. Cook cabbage until tender but still slightly crunchy to maintain texture. Toast sesame oil lightly before adding to unlock its aroma. Splash water or chicken broth if dish feels dry while cooking cabbage. Ground turkey, chicken, or beef can be used instead of pork. For gluten-free, substitute soy sauce with tamari or coconut aminos.
