Now add in your ground beef, and salt plus pepper to taste.

Helpful Tips, Tricks, and FAQs

Fresh onion and carrots with black peppercorns

If you want to use this egg roll recipe as a filler, you can use a butter lettuce leaf as your egg roll wrapper and serve it like this.
You can use any ground meat in this delicious recipe. Whether you prefer ground pork, ground chicken, ground turkey, or even ground beef, the choice is yours.
To enhance the flavors, you can use any mixture of fresh ingredients such as green onions, shredded cabbage, and broccoli slaw. These fresh additions not only bring a lovely crunch to the dish but also contribute to its overall nutritional value.
Try sprinkling on some sesame seeds at the end as a garnish before eating to really give it a flavor of true Chinese food.
To keep this dish low-carb and keto-friendly, I suggest using cauliflower rice instead of traditional rice. Cauliflower rice serves as an excellent substitute, offering a similar texture and the ability to absorb the flavors of the dish. You can easily find pre-packaged cauliflower rice in stores, or you can make your own by pulsing cauliflower florets in a food processor.
This is a great meal prep recipe. You can prepare a big batch at the beginning of the week and divide it into airtight containers for easy grab-and-go lunches or dinners. The flavors actually tend to develop and intensify as the dish sits, making it even more delicious as leftovers. Whether you’re heating it up in the microwave or giving it a quick reheat on the stovetop, you’ll find that the flavors remain intact.
If you’re looking to add more vegetables to your diet, consider incorporating sliced bell peppers, snow peas, or water chestnuts for added crunch and color. For those who enjoy a nutty flavor, a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds or a drizzle of almond butter can take the dish to a whole new level. There are lots of great Asian flavors you can add to this easy egg roll in a bowl.

Is this recipe gluten free?

Yes it is!

The only items you need to make sure you choose the gluten-free option of is the soy sauce and Worcestershire sauce.

Read labels and choose a wheat free soy sauce.

My favorite is a soy sauce named TAMARI.

It is a great option with the flavors you expect but no gluten.

I also choose Lea & Perrins Worcestershire Sauce that does not contain wheat or gluten in the ingredients.

All of the other ingredients used are naturally gluten free.

What about making this dish faster, are there any other options?

Yes, there is!

You can use a bag of coleslaw mix instead of cutting your own cabbage up.

The cole slaw mix also includes shredded carrots so it may be more budget friendly to go this route.

It also saves you time in the long run which makes it the perfect recipe on a busy night.

Can I make this recipe without an Instant Pot?

Yes, you can!

Instead of putting the Instant Pot to saute, you would just put a large skillet over medium-high heat and follow the recipe.

When you are asked to put on the lid, just put a lid on your skillet.

You will wait the same amount of time.

You may want to turn your heat down to medium low so the cabbage doesn’t burn. Stir it every few minutes to keep everything cooking well.

Can I use a different type of meat with this recipe that is not ground?

Of course!

You can turn this into a keto chicken stir fry when you substitute in chopped chicken breast for the ground beef at the beginning.

You just need to make sure it is cooked fully before moving onto the next step.

You can even try it with smoked sausage for a sausage egg roll in a bowl!

This keto egg roll in a bowl is a testament to the fact that you don’t need to sacrifice flavor and variety when following a low-carb diet.
