Keto Egg Rolls (in a bowl) Recipe (1)

I have some good news and some bad news. I was about to make Keto Egg Rolls but in the way, you’d think they are normally made. Man, this keto life has taken my creativity in cooking and baking to a whole new level. Some of it is good and some of it is bad.

This Keto Egg Roll recipe turned out amazing! It tastes just like the inside of an egg roll but without the crust. I attempted to make a crust but that’s a whole other story. I will share more about that below after I explain this Keto Egg Roll in a bowl recipe.

You can cut up a head of cabbage if you want, and sometimes I do, but this recipe shows how to do it the easy way.

Now for the Egg Roll experiment. I used the fat head dough recipe in this recipe: Fat Head Dough Recipe I added a 1/4 teaspoon of Xanthan gum powder to the dough as a binder. I made the dough exactly the same way I did in the recipe but then I rolled it out into rectangles. I added a few spoonfuls of this center mixture in the middle, wrapped them up and baked them. They tasted amazing! They did not taste like an egg roll wrap though. They tasted more like a hot pocket type wrap. I rolled the dough really thin when I made these too. I would not call this recipe a good egg roll wrap but the family ate them all because they still taste good. Stay tuned because I am determined to make an egg roll wrap soon!

This is what that process looks like:
