Egg Roll in a Bowl (aka Crack Slaw) as some people like to call it, is a healthier alternative to eggrolls! 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.

Ingredients List
- Packaged coleslaw mix (shredded cabbage and carrots) - The first two ingredients usually I can find them together in a bag. But if you want more crunch get another bag of carrots to add to it.
- Carrots - Are semi high in carbs, use a whole cabbage and chop that up instead of cole slaw mix and omit the carrots. Keto or Low carb dieters leave carrots out.
- Chicken breast (98% FF) - or ground turkey to keep it lower points. Sometimes I like using sausage for this but it will be higher in points.
- Low sodium soy sauce -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.
- Sesame oil - This is 1 ½ teaspoon for 2 points. The whole recipe is 2 points if you are using zero point protein options but if you divide the recipe into 6 equal portions the recipe is now zero points.
- Minced ginger - I like to get the minced ginger in a tube - this can be found in the refrigerator section at the grocery store
- Scallions and sesame seeds for Garnish
- See recipe card below for a full list of ingredients and measurements.

Delicious. I like to make it with shrimp.
Nikki says
I made this tonight, I didn't have ground chicken but I had some chicken breast so I just cubed that. I added onions and garlic. I used a small amount of chicken stock to add some more sauciness to it which we enjoyed. I also added some wonton strips on top for a little of that egg roll crunch. I'm not doing WW yet, but feeling out the recipes to see if I'll survive (lol) this one might go in the rotation ❤️
Yolanda says
dee-li-cious! I kicked it up just little with sarachi garlic but stuck to rest of ingredients. this was beyond what I expected! my 14 year old daughter came back for seconds! and that's saying a lot! thanks for sharing this recipe
Jenna says
Oh well, at least it was still good! Glad you liked it.
Stephanie Rutherford says
I doubled this recipe and still only got 6 servings so I’m not sure what I did wrong!!♀️
But it was so yummy and I used toasted sesame oil for a great flavor..
Judybug says
Absolutely delicious. Followed recipe and used ground chicken. Even picky hubby liked it!!
Erin says
Are we meant to use toasted sesame oil? I used regular sesame oil and thought the recipe as written lacked flavor. Then I thought to check the link in the recipe and the sesame oil that's linked is toasted, not regular sesame oil. If it's supposed to be toasted, I think the recipe should be updated to clarify. They're different things. Not all sesame oil is toasted.
Eileen says
Great recipe, but I would recommend pulling chicken out while cooking cabbage/carrots. Mine got a little dry. Also, I needed way more soy sauce than listed.
Jenna says
Good idea Rachel!
Rachel says
I've been making this for about two years. Family healthy favorite. I buy egg roll wrappers, cut the squares into 2 triangles. Spray with olive oil spray and top with coarse salt. Bake at 350 until golden. My family says this makes the dish!
