Can I Eat an Egg Roll on the Keto Diet?
You can eat an egg roll on the keto diet as long as you follow a recipe that substitutes the high carb ingredients with low carb ingredients. Regular egg rolls contain too many net carbs for you to eat them and be successful on the keto diet. Especially since no one eats only one egg roll!
How Do I Make an Egg Roll in a Bowl Keto-Friendly?
You can make an egg roll keto-friendly by not using the high carb wheat wrap and by putting the egg roll in a bowl. By putting the egg roll in a bowl you won’t need the actual wrap and this will make it low carb and keto-friendly.
It is similar to ordering a burrito bowl at Chipotle instead of getting the traditional burrito at Chipotle. You can eat keto at Chipotle by following similar guidelines.
How Many Carbs are in Regular Egg Rolls?
According to Nutritionix, asingle egg roll can contain a whopping 22g net carbs! That means that only one standard egg roll will knock people mostly or fully out of ketosis. And let’s be real here… who eats a single egg roll?!
How Many Carbs are in a Keto Egg Roll?
To lower the carbs in an egg roll, the keto version is a deconstructed egg roll in a bowl. Instead of the 22g net carbs in a regular egg roll, a keto egg roll (in a bowl) should have far fewer carbs so you can stay in ketosis. This keto egg roll recipe contains only 3g net carbs per serving.
What is Inside of a Keto Egg Roll?
It will have:
- Veggies like shredded cabbage, carrot (you can omit the carrot to lower the carbs, but I find that this makes it taste less authentic), and green onions
- Ground pork or beef
- Seasonings and sauces like garlic powder, fresh ginger, tamari (wheat-free soy sauce), and rice vinegar
All of these are added to the bowl after they have been fried.

Prep Time: 10 minutes minutes
Cook Time: 13 minutes minutes
Total Time: 23 minutes minutes
Servings: 6
Calories: 355kcal
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 lb. spicy bulk pork sausage
- 1/4 cup water
- 3 cups green cabbage shredded
- 1 medium carrot shredded
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tbsp toasted sesame oil
- 1/2 tbsp fresh ginger finely minced
- 2 tbsp green onions chopped
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 2 tbsp tamari
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds for garnish
Instructions
Heat a large high-sided pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Add sausage and cook, breaking the sausage into small pieces as it cooks. Cook for approximately 5-6 minutes until sausage is no longer pink, then remove from heat and carefully drain excess grease from the pan.
Return pan or skillet to heat. Add a little water and scrape up brown bits from the bottom of the pan with a spatula. Reduce the heat to medium and add shredded cabbage, carrots, garlic powder, sesame oil, ginger, and green onions. Season to taste with salt and pepper and cook, stirring frequently, until the cabbage wilts and the carrot softens (approximately 4-5 minutes).
Add rice vinegar and tamari and stir to combine. Cook another 1-2 minutes or until heated through, then remove from heat.
Transfer to a serving bowl or platter and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds.
Notes
If you like a hint of sweetness, feel free to add a little keto-friendly sweetener to taste during step 3.
If you don’t want to use pork, you can substitute with your ground meat of choice. Keep in mind that you will need to season it to taste if it is plain instead of spicy.
