We’ve all seen, heard of or tried a keto egg roll on a bowl recipe. I mean, they’re taking over the internet. Shredded veggies, usually a blend of something cruciferous, sauteed with ground pork or turkey. Seasoned with delicious takeout flavors like sesame or soy. Yeah, it’s a great, one skillet meal.
These Keto Egg Roll Poppers take all the yummy flavors of an egg roll and fry it up in a delicious, low carb finger food. A little closer to an original egg roll, but still a far cry from the carbalicious takeout staple.

Keep It Simple
This recipe takes simple ingredients but brings complex flavors and super satisfying finger food that even kids will love. Yup, Jack, my 5-year-old gobbled these right up.
The dipping sauce is made with yogurt, and you can use greek yogurt if you do dairy or coconut yogurt as I did. Or if you’re not into those flavors, try it with mayo. I love a good thick mayo as a sauce base. Even peanut butter or almond butter would work. I mean, you can’t go wrong when you add coconut aminos and ginger to anything. Thrive Market makes THE BEST aminos ever.

Description
Delicious and easy keto egg roll poppers! Ground pork, broccoli and Asian seasonings in a delicious fried finger food!
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup coconut oil (for frying)
- 4 cups shredded broccoli (I use leftover stalks for this)
- 2 pounds ground pork
- 4 cloves garlic, fine minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh minced ginger, mince so fine it’s like a paste (or 2 teaspoons ground ginger)
- 3 teaspoons fine salt
- 2 teaspoons ground mustard seeds
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 teaspoons coconut aminos
- 3 ounces pork panko (ground up pork rinds)
- 2 large eggs
- For The Sauce:
- 1/3 cup coconut yogurt (see post for substitutions)
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (or everything bagel seasoning)
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger
- 1 tablespoon coconut aminos
- splash of fish sauce
Instructions
- Heat your broccoli slaw in a large skillet with a tight-fitting lid with 2 tablespoons water for 10 minutes over medium heat. Let it cool then strain it through a fine-mesh sieve, kitchen towel or nut milk bag, you want to remove as much water as possible. Alternatively, you may microwave the slaw for 2 minutes on high heat before straining the water out.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat with the coconut oil while you prepare the mix and the poppers.
- In a large bowl combine the pork, broccoli, garlic, ginger, salt, black pepper, mustard seed, coconut aminos, pork panko and eggs.
- Mix well until evenly combined. Shape 35 small balls and gently flatten. Check the oil, when a wooden spoon inserted sizzles, it’s ready to fry.
- Fry 6-7 poppers in the hot coconut oil, 3 minutes per side. Don’t overcrowd the skillet. I use a 9″ cast iron skillet for this. If your skillet is larger you will need add extra oil so it’s high enough to pan fry. It should come up to half way up the poppers when 6-7 are in the oil.
- Fry in batches until all the poppers are done. As you remove from the oil, place them on a paper towel lined plate.
- Make the sauce: combine all of the sauce ingredients in a bowl and stir well.
Recipe Notes:
You can use a MICROPLANE to get the garlic and ginger in a fine mince for this recipe, easier than using a knife!

Is there an baked or air fried option? I suck at pan frying.
Cristina Curp, FNTP says
You could probably do both, but I haven’t tried it.
Brenda Lloyd says
Just a heads up…Thrive Market does not deliver to Hawaii! Bummer, yes?
Maybe soon…
Cristina says
Neither does Butcher Box… I know, I lived there before… there are a few cons, not many… but a few lol
Jamie says
This recipie is amazing!! Definitely going to make it again!
Cristina says
I’m thrilled you loved it.
Jennifer says
I made these for dinner last night and my 13-year-old said it was the best dinner he’d ever had! He loved the sauce, too. Everything was so flavorful and delicious. The best part is leftovers for my lunch this week! Thank you for such an amazing recipe.
Cristina says
Yeahh thanks so much
Carol Cover says
It’s still too hot here to stand and cook the poppers, so I just mixed all the meatball ingredients together (including some pork panko and sweating the broccoli separately) – served it over some shredded raw spinach drizzled with PLENTY of the sauce – which I recommend doubling. This was fabulous. I ate some cold for breakfast mixed with salad greens and more sauce. This is a keeper! Thank you Christina.
Cristina says
Great idea Carol!!
Patrice says
Think they’d come out ok if air fried?
Cristina says
Not sure, I haven’t really used my air fryer
Brooke says
Any suggestion fir a vegetarian/pescatarian substitute for the pork rinds? Thank you!
Cristina says
an almond meal… but the recipe also uses ground pork
Annette says
I really F’d these up by only having half the amount of pork rinds on hand and I had to use shredded cabbage instead of broccoli—BUT THEY STILL CAME OUT SOOO GOOD!! I made a sriracha mayo for dunking and my husband loved them. Thanks for the great recipe!
Cristina says
Awesome!
Kim says
When you say Sesame oil do you mean the toasted one or plain one? Thanks
Cristina says
I prefer the toasted on for flavor.
Charlene says
Any way to substitute cauliflower for the broccoli in the poppers? I’m allergic to broccoli.
Cristina says
yup, any veggie slaw should work
