Variations on a Keto Egg Roll in a Bowl
I made this bowl with ground turkey, but you can easily make it with pork, chicken, or beef too. You can also make this with plant-based ‘meat’ crumbles. To keep it more keto-friendly, use a coleslaw mix with very little (or no!) carrots.
How to Store and Reheat
Once cooked and cooled, store this egg roll in a bowl in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can reheat it on the stovetop or quickly in the microwave. We do not recommend freezing this bowl, as the cabbage will become watery once thawed.
Serving Suggestions
This egg roll in a bowl is perfect to enjoy by itself as a healthy meal. It’s great piled into lettuce wraps too. For a fuller meal, you can serve it with a side of rice or cauliflower rice , or make some veggie lo mein !

Notes from the Test Kitchen
- If you like a crunch and bite to your cabbage, only cook the mixture for 10 minutes. If you would like the cabbage to be cooked all the way through with no crunch, cook for 15 minutes.
- For the photos, we garnished the egg roll in a bowl with green onions and sesame seeds for the majority of the pictures. We added Sriracha Mayo on the last couple of photos to add a little bit more color.

This Essential Grocery List is an absolute life saver for my family on the busy weeks. When I started this journey to learn how to cook, I quickly realized that the first step in cooking is having staple ingredients on hand. I want to avoid having to run out to the grocery store every single time I prepare a new recipe. Having a well-stocked pantry has made my life in the kitchen so much simpler, because when it’s time to cook, I have what I need.
Essential Grocery List
It’s so helpful to have a basic grocery list to help me remember which foods to buy at the store. This food shopping list is my go-to!
It’s better to stock up on things like grains, seasonings and spices, baking essentials, oils, condiments, canned and frozen foods, etc. so I can just grab them when I need them. These things have a long shelf life , so I keep them in my kitchen for convenience.
However, I do have to go to the supermarket sometimes, and there’s a way to make that trip easy and hassle-free: I keep a grocery list! If I go in blindly, I’ll leave with things I don’t need, and nothing that actually helps me prepare a good meal.
In the list below, I’ve compiled everything I always have on my stock-up grocery list.
I’ve got you covered! I created an easy grocery list filled with all of the essentials. Plus there’s a free printable version that you can take with you to the grocery store. It has everything you need to stock your pantry, your freezer, and your refrigerator.

What to Buy at the Grocery Store
