Keto Egg Roll in a Bowl

Sometimes you gotta just… Stop, Drop… and Egg Roll In a Bowl!

I love asian restaurants and can now easily navigate away from the carbs… Sashimi anyone? Still, when I find myself at one, there are some things that I really miss like egg rolls, spring rolls, summer rolls, etc. Wish I had realized sooner how easy it is to make this delicious low-carb egg roll in bowl recipe.

There are a ton of egg roll in bowl recipes online today, so to save you some time, I set out to create a version that just might become a weekly craving for your families low-carb lifestyle.

When I was just 9 years old, I ordered one of those hand-hammered woks from China from a famous TV commercial you older folks might remember.

Apparently I was into stir-frying at a young age. Luckily, I still have that very same wok today as it has proven to be an essential kitchen tool my whole family uses often.

If my 9 year old self only knew the longevity of that great $19.95 investment I think he would be proud.

Don’t be afraid to swap out, or in, ingredients that you like as you can hardly mess this up if the ingredients are fresh. This recipe can easily be stretched to feed 4 people, but I marked this for 3 so you would not be hungry in an hour. (insert Chinese-food joke here)

The secret to great wok cooking is to use very high heat so cooking with gas works best. You want your ingredients to cook quickly and caramelize rather than steam! Wok it up!
