Egg Roll in a Bowl
This is the bowl in the photo. Crumbled meat, shredded cabbage, carrot strips, and green onion on top. No wrapper. No sugar. One serving is about 240 calories, 22g protein, and 6g net carbs. The full oval dish is the picture, not one plate. Use lean ground pork or beef so the protein lands near 22g. Brown it and drain it. A fatty grind leaves the cabbage sitting in grease. Soy sauce, garlic, and a little ginger make the flavor. No sweet sauce. That is what misses the 6g line. Cabbage goes in at the end so it softens but stays in pieces, the way it does in the dish. Twenty minutes covers the brown and the toss.

The Secret to the Pieces
Cabbage goes in after the meat is browned. Earlier and it turns to mush. Drain the meat so the dish stays dry on top, not greasy. Green onion goes on at the end so it stays bright, the way it sits in the photo.
