I grew up in a very rural part of the world, so we didn’t have a lot of quality restaurants around growing up. There were chain restaurants and local BBQ joints, but only a handful of ethnic eateries. I don’t know where the official line is between American food and ethnic food, but if it wasn’t a hamburger, hot dog, or soup beans it was too ethnic for my dad.
Anyways, the first time I ate an egg roll, it was in a barn/restaurant and it was delicious! Of course, it may not have been the most authentic egg roll as it was filled with Velveeta cheese as well as the traditional egg roll fare. But you know what they say, you never forget your first…egg roll.

Does an egg roll have an egg in it? Can I add egg?
An egg roll is called an egg roll due to the traditional egg roll wrapper used to wrap the fillings. That wrapper traditionally has an egg in it. If you want to add egg to your Keto Egg Roll in a Bowl then go right ahead! It will taste similar to Keto Fried Rice!

Would a broccoli slaw mix be a good substitute in this recipe?
Definitely!
Too salty. I adjusted the recipe and used 1 T avocado oil, 1/4 tsp garlic salt, 1 T Tamari and one head of cabbage and served in lettuce wraps.
ERMAGERD! This egg roll in a bowl is super delicious, incredibly easy to prepare and has minimal ingredients. I can’t believe there’s only one rating for this recipe because this checks all the boxes for a satisfying, yummy weeknight meal. Thank you for posting; this satisfied a serious jonz for Chinese food that I’ve been trying to fulfill, unsuccessfully, for several weeks now.
