Egg Roll in a Bowl (Keto)

Directions

1. Cook the Pork: In a large skillet or wok, cook the ground pork over medium-high heat until browned and cooked through. Drain any excess fat.
2. Add Aromatics: Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent and the garlic is fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
3. Incorporate Vegetables: Stir in the shredded cabbage and grated carrot. Cook until the vegetables are tender, about 5-7 minutes.
4. Season: Add the soy sauce, sesame oil, ground ginger, and black pepper. Stir well to combine all the flavors. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
5. Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat and stir in the sliced green onions. Garnish with sesame seeds if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!

Tips and Shortcuts

• Pre-Shredded Vegetables: Save time by using pre-shredded cabbage and carrots available at most grocery stores.
• Ground Meat Options: Feel free to substitute ground pork with ground turkey, chicken, or beef for a different flavor profile.
• Soy Sauce Alternatives: For a gluten-free option, use tamari or coconut aminos instead of soy sauce.
• Extra Veggies: Add other low-carb vegetables like bell peppers, mushrooms, or snap peas to boost the nutritional value.

Recipe Swaps and Variations

• Vegetarian Version: Replace the ground pork with crumbled tofu or tempeh for a vegetarian take on this dish.
• Spicy Kick: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a drizzle of sriracha for some heat.
