Weight Watchers Egg Roll in a Bowl

Weight Watchers Egg Roll in a Bowl

Egg Roll in a Bowl  (aka Crack Slaw) as some people like to call it,  is a healthier alternative to egg rolls! People love this dish and it is low carb and Weight Watcher Friendly. See my tips below for other dietary needs.

Have you heard of this recipe yet? Egg Roll In a Bowl or Crack Slaw to me is a low carb version of egg rolls minus the egg roll wrapper and it is served in a bowl. Pretty simple and really easy to make. Watch my video below this to see how simple it is. This is a pretty legit recipe for the inside of egg rolls and I think I might even use the rest of it to make real egg rolls in my air fryer tomorrow.

My first time making this recipe I used regular pork sausage but most authentic egg roll recipes call for ground pork. To make this recipe point friendly and 0 points, you could use some ground up shrimp or chicken which would still be super good. If you still want the taste of sausage use some lean turkey sausage. It’s really up to you to decide what type of protein you can add in this! All the rest of the ingredients in this are pretty much zero points minus the sesame oil which is 1.

How to make Egg Roll in a Bowl

  1. Brown the meat in a medium nonstick skillet until cooked all the way through and then add the ginger.
  2. Add soy sauce and sesame oil.
  3. Add a full bag of coleslaw, stir till coated with sauce
  4. Add 1/2 bag of shredded carrots, stir until coated with sauce. Shredded carrots are optional since most coleslaw mix bags come with shredded carrots already in them. I just throw some extra in there to bulk the dish up a bit.
  5. Add chopped scallions, mix thoroughly.

Tips for Egg Roll in a Bowl

  • Bake or air fry some wonton wrappers to use as scoops for the egg roll.
  • Gluten Free Option: It may come to a shock for some people but soy sauce contains gluten. To make this recipe gluten free sub coconut aminos in place of soy sauce. Sesame oil is made from sesame seeds so it is gluten free.
  • Weight Watcher Zero Point Option: Adding chicken, shrimp or turkey will keep this recipe at zero points.
  • Keto Option: Carrots are semi high in carbs, use a whole cabbage and chop that up instead of cole slaw mix and omit the carrots.
  • I have finally turned this recipe into real egg rolls and they come in at 2 points each. See the recipe here.

  4. My hubby cooked this last night & it was fantastic!! We aren’t big on leftovers but saved this for lunches today. #delish

  6. This is the best meal I have had while doing Weight Watchers! I felt as if I was cheating. So yummy, highly recommend.

  7. I made this recipe subbing some leftover shredded chicken breast and we loved it! No guilty eating with this one! Thanks!

  9. Do you know the points with using Pork? I do not see it listed below the recipe. Thanks.

  11. Did you mean in a medium pan and not “Brown the sausage/meat in a medium sausage”?
    Recipe sounds very tasty.
    Thanks.

  14. Made for dinner tonight used ground pork did not add sugar was still very good.

    ★★★★

  16. I made this last night, using chopped shrimp and Splenda instead of sugar. It is delicious and definitely a keeper recipe! I shared on social media. 🙂

    ★★★★★

  26. I used 3/4 pound of lean ground pork amd added extra
    Canbage and carrots to make a total of 6 one cup servings. Each serving in my calculator was 3 sp. also i stead of sugar I swapped it for one packet of truvia. Topped it with 2 tablespoons of wonton strip salad toppers for an additional 1 sp. So yummy!

    ★★★★★

  29. I made this tonight, and we loved it! I baked some won ton wrappers, and we used them like scoops, or chips and it was delicious. 5 wrappers are 3 points.
    Thank you for this recipe!

    ★★★★★

  31. My husband and I love this recipe. I work full time and after a long day i can put it together in minutes!
    Filling. Nutritious! My favorite is Shrimp! Leftovers travel well in my lunch for the next day.

    ★★★★

  32. I think I would add some fresh bean sprouts and sauté with the cabbage, maybe some diced shiitake mushrooms too.

    ★★★★★

  33. I used ground beef because it’s what I had on hand. I threw in 8 little green scallions and about 3/4 cup of shredded carrots, but otherwise followed the recipe. I used Gluten free soy sauce and added more to taste. I’m Not on WW program, but recipe sounded great and was! This will be a super way to add more veggies and will be a good breakfast for me (too many breakfast options are filled with gluten so I’ve learned to eat a variety of non traditional foods for breakfast).

    ★★★★

  34. This was just delish and I will be making it again soon!! My daughter(a picky eater), took the leftovers for her lunch! Thank you for sharing the recipe!!

    ★★★★★

  35. So tasty! Made this for my family and we all loved it, including 2 picky teenage girls!! Used turkey sausage, did add a little additional red pepper flakes and minced garlic, and topped it with cilantro. I’m glad I bought another bag of coleslaw, because I’m making this again!!!

    ★★★★★

  36. I want to make this tonight. Question: You list sugar in the recipe, but don’t use it in the video… Is it best to leave it out? Thanks!

  37. Sometimes I use it and some times I don’t. Sometimes I forget to add an ingredient to a recipe as most normal cooks do. No big deal! 🙂

  38. Thank you! I just don’t want to leave it out if that will impact the whole recipe 🙂

  40. Looks SO good! To save time, can I use some shredded up rotisserie chicken? Will that impact points much you think? Thanks!

  42. Made this for supper tonight and loved it! I used ground chicken and a coleslaw mix. I had some mushrooms in the fridge I wanted to use up so tossed them in too. Instead of won ton chips, I cut a 1 point tortilla into strips and toasted it in my air fryer. No oil so only the 1 point. It provided a nice crunch. This might just be my new favorite! Thanks so much 🙂

    ★★★★★

  46. Ingredients list says 1/2 cup of carrots but directions say 1/2 bag of carrots. Which is correct?

    ★★★★★

  48. I have made this 3 times in 3 weeks – so flavorful and satisfying. Used ground chicken breast with a gf version. No sugar, added an additional T of coconut aminos, a bag and a half of Trader Joe’s organic coke slaw mix, roasted the scallions before adding and kept everything else the same for cooking purposes. Coconut Aminos add points, but it still comes out to 1 freestyle pt per serving. Added 1 T of Trader Joe’s Mango Samba sauce for some heat ( 0 pts.) and a shake of EBTB. Soooo good

  49. I have never tried the Mango Samba sauce from Trader Joe’s. Will have to pick some up next time.
