Ingredients and Supplies to Make Keto Sausage Egg Roll in a Bowl

Before diving into variations, let’s cover the essentials for this recipe. Here’s what you’ll need:

Ingredients

• Sesame Oil
• Garlic and Onion
• Ground Pork Sausage
• Ground Ginger
• Coleslaw Mix (or Fresh Vegetables)
• Soy Sauce or Coconut Aminos
• Rice Vinegar
• Sriracha
• Green Onions and Sesame Seeds

Variations: Fresh Vegetables Instead of Coleslaw Mix

While a bag of coleslaw mix is convenient, you can easily use fresh ingredients to elevate the dish:

• Cabbage: Thinly slice 6 cups of green or purple cabbage.
• Carrots: Use a julienne peeler or grate 1 medium carrot.
• Optional Additions: Add thinly sliced green bell peppers or shredded zucchini for extra nutrients and variety. A substitution like chopped broccoli and asparagus would add more texture. 

Supplies

• Measuring spoons and cups: To ensure perfect proportions.
• Air fryer (optional)

How to Cook Egg Roll in a Bowl in the Air Fryer or on the Stovetop

The air fryer offers a quick and easy way to make this dish with minimal cleanup:

Step 1: Cook the Pork

Air fryer: Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Place ground pork, diced onions, and minced garlic in a foil-lined air fryer basket and cook for 7-10 minutes, stirring halfway through, until browned.

Stovetop: Heat sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add minced garlic and diced onion. Saute until softened and fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add pork, ginger, salt, pepper, and Sriracha. Cook until pork is browned, about 7 minutes.

Step 2: Prepare Vegetables

Air fryer: Toss the coleslaw mix (or fresh vegetables) with sesame oil, soy sauce, and rice vinegar.

 Add the seasoned vegetable mix to the cooked pork in the air fryer. Stir well and cook for an additional 5 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

Stovetop: Stir in coleslaw mix (or fresh vegetables), soy sauce, and rice vinegar. Cook until vegetables are tender, about 4 minutes.

Step 3: Serve

Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions before serving.

Storage Tips

• Meal Prep: If preparing vegetables ahead, store sliced cabbage, carrots, and optional additions in separate airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• Leftovers: Once cooked, store the egg roll mixture in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat in a skillet or microwave for best results.
