There are obviously foods you miss when going on any type of eating style changes. When I started eating keto friendly, I missed Chinese food. My dear, sweet (and hysterical) friend Kathy suggested Egg Roll in a Bowl and it quickly became one of my favorite dishes!
You can look up many versions of this recipe on Pinterest, but this is the one I’ve settled on and it’s simple and so good. I haven’t used the bag of coleslaw because cabbage is so cheap and I can control the thickness that way. I find coleslaw a little thin and more wilted than fresh cabbage. But it’s nice to have a quick go-to!
I also use homemade chicken broth. All that means is when I make chicken in the crock pot, I reserve and freeze the broth. Easy and a money saver!
You can sub in any protein you’d like, just season well. You can also leave out the sugar, but I like the sweet heat of Chinese food.
