Ingredients You’ll Need

How to Make LOW-CARB EASY TO MAKE EGG ROLL IN A BOWL Step by Step

First things first, grab your favorite skillet – a large one is best for this recipe. You’re going to start by browning your ground sausage. Just put it right into the pan over medium heat. Break it up with a spoon as it cooks, stirring it around until it’s beautifully browned all the way through.

Once your sausage is cooked, drain off any excess fat. This keeps our dish from being greasy. Then, it’s time to add all those wonderful flavors! Stir in your coleslaw mix, the fragrant ginger, the savory garlic powder, and your choice of low sodium soy sauce or coconut aminos. Give it a good stir to make sure everything is well combined and the coleslaw starts to soften.

Keep cooking and stirring until the coleslaw mix is tender-crisp – you don’t want it mushy, but nicely softened. This usually takes just a few minutes. Finally, spoon your delicious egg roll in a bowl into serving dishes. Top it generously with fresh green onions and, if you like, a little extra soy sauce (or coconut amino) or sweet and sour sauce. This is where the magic happens!

My Top Tips for Success

• I always make sure my sausage is fully cooked and crumbled finely for the best texture.
• In my experience, don’t overcook the coleslaw mix; you want it tender but still with a slight bite.
• Trust me on this one: fresh ginger makes a huge difference in flavor, even though powder works too.
• I like to taste and adjust the soy sauce at the end – sometimes it needs a little extra zing!
• If you’re making this for meal prep, store the green onions separately and add them just before serving.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Overcooking the coleslaw mix: This can lead to a watery, mushy dish. Keep an eye on it and remove from heat as soon as it’s tender-crisp.
• Not draining the sausage fat: Excess fat can make the dish greasy. Always drain well after cooking the sausage.
• Skipping the fresh garnishes: Green onions add a vital fresh, aromatic element. Don’t forget them!

How to Store LOW-CARB EASY TO MAKE EGG ROLL IN A BOWL

• Refrigerator: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days.
• Freezer: This dish freezes well! Store in a freezer-safe container for up to 2-3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge and reheat gently.
