I have no idea who came up with the name “Crack Slaw”, but it’s a dish that I’ve seen on Instagram from my low-carb and keto friends. Also, referred to as, Egg Roll in a Bowl, this dish is the perfect weeknight meal because it’s one-pot, quick, and packed with flavor!

What is Egg Roll in a Bowl?

Egg Roll in a Bowl includes a mix of ground meat, shredded cabbage, other veggies, and an Asian-inspired sauce!

Is Egg Roll in a Bowl spicy?

One thing that you might notice about my recipes is that we love spicy food. In fact, you’ll often see me add things to recipes (check out my Buffalo Wings with Ghost Peppers or “Honey” Sriracha Wings) to make them spicier than usual. This recipe includes habanero peppers. You can feel free to omit them if you wish!

What is I don’t have cabbage or some of the other vegetables?

Recently, I tried to make this recipe and my local market was out of shredded cabbage! While this might have seemed like a no-go for Egg Roll in a Bowl, it wasn’t. One of the things that I love about this recipe is that you can simply substitute the vegetables for the things that you have. Some vegetables that work well in this dish are:

• Bok Choy
• Mushrooms
• Shallots
• Red Onions
• Peppers
• Brocolli
