The quick and easy way to have everything you love about Chinese Egg Rolls but gluten free, low carb and even soy free!

Spiralized Chinese Egg Roll in a Bowl from www.EverydayMaven.com

When people ask me what I miss the most about the East Coast, my answer is almost always the same. Chinese Food.

After people, of course, because there is nothing like your people and I miss them every single minute of every single day.

But I’m sayin. Chinese Food right? Why, why, why is there no great Chinese Food in Seattle!? WHY? Anyone want to open a killer clean-ingredient, East Coast style Chinese restaurant with me? Just so we can eat at it? Gah.

Anyway, I started seeing the whole egg roll in a bowl trend take over my Pinterest last year and I was hooked.

After playing around with way too many variations, this is my favorite. Hope you love it!

NOTES:

  • You can substitute ground turkey, chicken or even beef for the ground pork. You may need to adjust the seasonings just slightly.
  • Also, this is amazing with a combo of ground pork and deveined and peeled shrimp!
  • If soy is OK for you, you can use gluten free reduced sodium tamari in place of the Coconut Aminos.
  • You do not have to spiralize the cabbage or the onion, it just saves SO MUCH time and the texture is more noodle like. If you don’t have a spiralizer, you can shred the cabbage in the food processor or just thinly slice. For the onion, halve and thinly slice.
  • If you can find carrots that are fat enough, you can also spiralize that – time saver!

Ingredients
  • 1 pound ground pork
  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil
  • 1 small head (about 2.5 pounds) green cabbage, spiralized
  • 1 small onion spiralized
  • 3 medium carrots cut into thin strips
  • pinch kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground white pepper
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/4 cup coconut aminos
  • 1 1/2 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
  • 2 to 3 scallions thinly sliced
Instructions
To Prepare:
  1. Grab your spiralizer (see NOTES above for other options). Trim ends of cabbage so you have two flat sides. Use the small noodle blade and quickly spiralize the entire head of cabbage. Set aside.
  2. Peel and trim ends of onions so you have two flat ends. Place on spiralizer with the same thin noodle blade and quickly spiralize. Add spiralized onion to cabbage.

  3. Cut carrots into thin strips.
  4. Mince garlic and thinly slice scallions.
To Cook:
  1. Heat a very large (14") frying pan or Wok over medium heat. Once hot, add ground pork and cook, 4 to 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until most of the pink is gone.
  2. Remove pork from pan and leave any pork fat. Add 1 T avocado oil (if needed). Turn heat to medium high and add cabbage, onion, carrot, salt and white pepper.
  3. Continue cooking, 6 to 8 minutes, stirring frequently, until vegetables are tender.
  4. Return cooked pork to pan along with minced garlic and coconut aminos, stir to mix well and cook for 1 minute.
  5. Remove from heat and add toasted sesame oil. Serve topped with sliced scallions and Enjoy!

    I will be making this with ground chicken or turkey – do you have any recommendations on adding seasoning/spices to get the original pork flavor? This recipe looks amazing! Thank you.

      Hi Melissa! I would just follow it as written and taste at the very end to see if you need to adjust any of the seasonings. Hope you love it!

    Is there any other oil than avocado that would work?

      Hi Anna,
      Absolutely — Virgin Coconut Oil, Sunflower Seed Oil, Olive Oil, Lard, pretty much any cooking fat will work, I just prefer Avocado Oil because it is very mild and doesn’t overpower the other flavors.

    Made this tonight and it was delicious! I don’t have a spiralizer, so I just put everything through my crank-style shredder/slicer, and it was perfect. My husband said he liked it way better than fried rice, and I agree! And it’s so much healthier! We will be adding this to our regular menus! Thanks for this great recipe!

      I hope you love it Alana! I am so jealous of your trip. My husband and I always used to talk about doing something like that but never pulled it together. Now, we have two little kids so I will have to live vicariously through you. Just followed your IG account 🙂

      Hi Allanah! Chinese Egg Rolls are an appetizer food that has this filling inside of what is called here in the states an “Egg Roll Wrapper” -that is where the name comes from so no actual egg 😉 Glad you loved it!!

      Hi Rosemary, I am so sorry to hear that. I had my developer do 2 speed tests over the weekend and another one this morning and my site keeps returning at 5 to 6 seconds on multiple machines. Could you try clearing your cache / cookies? I know that must be so frustrating!!

        Great recipe! I also have had a Paderno for some 20 years and it still works very well. I also spiralize my carrots and almost anything that lands on my kitchen counter including rutabagas (make excellent Ramen substitutes on the thin blade), chayote squash, jicama, green, red and yellow peppers, as well as the easier zucchini and cucumbers. Cuts out a TON of carbs.
