Low Calorie Recipes: Egg Roll in a Bowl

This low calorie recipe takes everything we love about those crispy takeout rolls and makes it faster, lighter, and surprisingly satisfying.
What I adore about this dish is its simplicity. You toss everything into one pan, stir, and in minutes you’ve got that same savory flavor without the wrapper drama. It fits beautifully into any low calorie recipes collection and doubles up as a quick lunch or dinner.
Loaded with the colorful crunch of cabbage, a hint of sesame, and the cozy warmth of ground pork, it’s like a vegetable egg rolls recipe and a stir-fry had a delicious baby. If you’ve ever craved a skillet egg roll recipe that feels indulgent but fits into keto breakfast recipes easy plans or even your low calorie casserole recipes list, this one checks every box. It’s the kind of meal that makes you feel good about eating well without missing out on flavor.
