  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces

• Veggie Medley:

  • 4 cups shredded green cabbage

  • 1 cup shredded carrots

  • 1/2 cup chopped green onions

  • 1/4 cup chopped celery (optional)

  • 1 clove garlic, minced

• Flavor Builders:

  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce (or tamari for a gluten-free option)

  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar

  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil

  • 1 teaspoon grated ginger

  • 1/2 teaspoon sriracha sauce (adjust to your spice preference)

  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

• Bowls and Toppings:

  • 4 cups romaine lettuce, chopped (or other greens of your choice)

  • Sesame seeds, for garnish (optional)

  • Chopped fresh cilantro, for garnish (optional)

  • Sriracha mayo (optional, for dipping)

Instructions:

1. Prep It Up

Wash and shred your green cabbage and carrots. Thinly slice the green onions and celery (if using). Mince the garlic.

2. Whisk the Sauce

In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, ginger, sriracha sauce, salt, and pepper. Set aside.

3. Cook the Protein

Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground pork (or chicken) and cook until browned and cooked through, breaking it up with a spatula as it cooks. Drain any excess grease.

4. Air Fry the Veggies

Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Add the shredded cabbage and carrots to the air fryer basket and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until tender-crisp, shaking the basket occasionally.

5. Combine and Coat

Transfer the cooked cabbage and carrots to a large bowl with the cooked pork (or chicken). Add the green onions, celery (if using), and the prepared sauce. Toss everything together to coat evenly.

6. Assemble the Bowls

Divide the chopped romaine lettuce (or other greens) between two bowls. Top each bowl with the flavorful egg roll mixture.

Serve and Enjoy: Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped fresh cilantro (optional). Serve with sriracha mayo for dipping, if desired. 

Tips

• Don't overcrowd the air fryer basket when cooking the cabbage and carrots. This will steam them instead of crisping them. Cook in batches if necessary.

• Feel free to experiment with different vegetables. Chopped bell peppers, water chestnuts, or bean sprouts are all great additions.

• This recipe is easily doubled to feed a crowd.

• Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a skillet over medium heat before serving.

These keto egg roll bowls are a delicious and satisfying way to enjoy all the flavors of your favorite takeout egg rolls without derailing your keto goals. 

The air fryer makes cooking the vegetables a breeze, and the customizable nature of the recipe allows you to tailor it to your preferences.
