Egg Roll Skillet

Save time and calories with this easy and delicious Egg Roll Skillet recipe! Serve it on its own in a bowl, over rice, or with noodles for a quick dinner idea!

I don’t follow a low carb or Keto diet, but I love that these movements have opened my eyes to the fact that I don’t have to eat my burger with a bun, my sandwich with bread, or my egg rolls and spring rolls with the wrapper. The carb-heavy “holders” of these foods are my least favorite part of the meal anyway, so I’m more than happy to throw a burger in a lettuce wrap and eat my egg roll out of a bowl, like with this Egg Roll Skillet.

I usually use sausage in this dish because that’s what my family prefers, but ground turkey or chicken is delicious, too, not to mention lower calorie. I also usually use a bag of shredded cabbage and carrots, but you could shred your own if you like. I’ve tossed in a handful of bean sprouts to the skillet, or added some sesame seeds or fried wonton strips on top as a garnish. Some fresh cilantro would be tasty, too! Feel free to use what you have on hand and make it your own.

  1. This recipe is a keeper. I was gifted a restaurant sized bag of chopped cabbage that I froze. Made it with that and I grated the carrots in. Amazing. I served with rice and topped with crispy wonton strips. Cured my craving for Chinese food for a while!

  2. This recipe really is good! Turned out great and was super quick to throw together. I also added chopped water chestnuts (which I added next after the sausage and cooked a bit longer) and chow mein noodles to top with instead of wonton strips.

    Also, I didn’t try it but I feel like you could also barely or not really cook the cabbage and eat it like a salad too.

  3. This recipe lacked flavor! After increasing these amounts: 4 TB ginger, 6 TB soy sauce, 8 cloves minced garlic & adding 1.5 TB rice vinegar, it popped delish! I substituted ground Turkey & browned with 1/2 diced sweet onion. Delish!!
