This egg roll in a bowl with creamy chili sauce is a wonderfully flavorful, quick Whole30 recipe made in one pan. It’s a low carb, keto friendly, and paleo slaw that becomes an irresistible Asian dinner recipe the whole family will love. P.S. That creamy chili sauce? WHOA.

🥘 What Makes This Recipe So Good

  • It’s all the goodness of an egg roll without the unhealthy, deep-fried wrapper.
  • Prep is super simple thanks to premade coleslaw mix.
  • Topping it all with a spicy mayo takes the flavors in this egg roll in a bowl recipe to a whole other level!
  • It’s Whole30 compliant, so there are absolutely no added sweeteners, grains, gluten, or soy. Perfect for those with allergies or who are just trying to eat healthy! We love it so much, we featured it in our Whole30 Meal Plan!
  • It’s so easy to make a keto egg roll in a bowl using this recipe. Just swap out the coconut aminos for Braggs Aminos, Lite Tamari, or your favorite soy sauce (if you’re not also Whole30). Leave out the water chestnuts, and use a keto-friendly, low-carb hot sauce.
  • You only need one skillet for this slaw recipe, so clean up is easy, too!

👩🏼‍🍳 Chef’s Tips

  • This recipe makes enough to serve two with leftovers or four without. It’s fantastic for meal prep, just make sure you store the creamy spicy mayo / red chili sauce separately.
  • The sauce should be thick and rich, so make sure you simmer it down enough. It shouldn’t be very liquid!
  • If you can’t eat eggs and aren’t on a Whole30, try a vegan mayo in place of the regular mayonnaise for the red chili sauce. Should you be on a Whole30 and are avoiding eggs, simply swap the mayonnaise for coconut cream – the solid white part of a can of coconut milk.
  • Check out my Whole30 sriracha recipe for the creamy red chili sauce; it’s amazing! If you don’t have time, simply sub your favorite Whole30 compliant hot sauce in for the sriracha.

💬 Frequently Asked Questions

Is rice wine vinegar Whole30-compliant?

Yep – even though it has u0022riceu0022 and u0022wineu0022 in the name. Just make sure you’re not using u0022seasonedu0022 rice wine vinegar, which almost always includes sugar.

Can I make egg roll in a bowl in advance?

Yes, this makes a great keto or Whole30 meal prep! It reheats pretty well, so it’s the perfect dish for leftovers. However, it’s probably a good idea to store the spicy mayo in a separate container.

How long does egg roll in a bowl last?

As long as you refrigerate it in an airtight container, egg roll in a bowl will keep up to 4 days.

Instructions 

For the Egg Roll in a Bowl

Notes

  • Sriracha (or Hot Sauce): If you’re on a Whole30 round, make sure your sriracha or hot sauce is compliant. You can use a store-bought compatible hot sauce like Frank’s Red Hot, or make your own Whole30 sriracha using my recipe.
  • Mayo: If you’re using store-bought mayo, be sure it’s Whole30 compliant.
  • Make it Keto: Use a keto-friendly hot sauce (like Frank’s Red Hot), and replace the coconut aminos with lite tamari. Omit the water chestnuts entirely. If desired, you can omit the red onion to shave off roughly 1g net carbs per serving.

    One of my all time favorite go-to recipes. It’s a must! Sometimes I substitute ground turkey or chicken instead of the pork, and I often leave out the green onions but use a whole small yellow onion. I usually do 1.5-2 times the amount of cabbage to veggie it up. Love it!5 stars
