Chinese food hits the spot almost any time. Besides, what is better than visiting the local Chinese buffet or ordering take out from your favorite little spot? While Chinese cuisine does contain a lot of vegetables and the like, most of the time however, it is just plain unhealthy and not always keto friendly. This keto egg roll in a bowl take on the traditional is just as good if not better!

Luckily, if you like Chinese food, you do not have to give it up entirely while on the keto diet. This recipe will certainly prove satisfying and is a great lunch or dinner option.

You can find a list of which keto veggies to eat and which to avoid as well to help you make different choices when it comes to cooking your veggies alongside proteins and in different cuisines.
