Mongolian Beef Egg Roll in a Bowl. A sweet and delicious take on a P. F. Chang’s favorite. Gluten-free, Low-carb, Sugar-free, THM-FP
This is my take on P. F. Chang’s Mongolian Beef. They prepare theirs with steak strips and I wondered if we could get the same yummy taste using ground beef. Knowing how easy egg roll in a bowl is to make I decided to combine these two dishes and it turned out amazing.

The atmosphere and the food of P. F. Chang’s is so wonderful and to be able to recreate this taste at home and inexpensively is a win for me!
I decided to use a 16 oz. bag of coleslaw to make this dish even quicker. If you prefer to shred the cabbage yourself you would need about 5 cups and also 1 shredded carrot.
Of course, you can use chopsticks to make this dish more fun to eat like my family does, but I can’t seem to get the hang of them so I’ll keep with my fork.
The glucomannan powder in this recipe is a carb-free thickener that can be used as a replacement for cornstarch. This powder is made from the konjac root and it doesn’t take much to achieve its thickening power. It’s mixed with the sweetener and ginger to make sure it spreads out nicely as it can clump up if you just drop it into a recipe. I use it in my dairy-free smoothies to get a creamy texture.
If you’re following Trim Healthy Mama this recipe is an FP. You can serve this with brown rice and make this meal an E. Keep your portion to 1/4 of the recipe or less to keep it an FP or E.

Description
Quick and easy to make one-pan meal. If following THM this is an FP if you drain and rinse the ground beef.
Ingredients
- 1 lb grass-fed ground beef
- 1 bunch green onions (6-8), sliced
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic (about 4 cloves)
- 1/3 cup coconut aminos (soy free) or gluten-free soy sauce
- 1/3 cup water
- 1/2 cup Non-GMO erythritol or 1/3 THM Super Sweet Blend
- 1/4 teaspoon glucomannan
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon blackstrap molasses
- 1 16oz package coleslaw
- optional additions: red pepper flakes and more coconut aminos or GF soy sauce.
Instructions
In a large skillet brown the ground beef. Drain off fat.
Optional step: Rinse ground beef with hot water to quickly drain off any extra fat. Place ground beef back in skillet and begin reheating on medium heat.
Stir in the sliced green onions and garlic. Carefully pour in the coconut aminos and water and stir to mix.
In a small bowl mix together the erythritol, glucomannan, and ginger. Then add to the skillet.
Drizzle in the blackstrap molasses.
Add in the package of coleslaw. Stir to combine. Cover and let cook over medium heat for ten minutes stirring occasionally.
Notes
Trim Healthy Mamas, this recipe can be used as is, as an FP. And that would be one serving which is 1/4 of the entire dish.
It’s what you serve with it that will change it to an E or an S.
Serve it with brown rice and the rice will give it the good carbs to make it an E.
Serve it with other foods that are in the S category and it will be an S. You won’t need to rinse the beef if you are wanting it to be an S.
If you prefer you can use 5 cups shredded cabbage and 1 shredded carrot in place of the coleslaw.

Can’t wait to try this!
You and your site are a breath of fresh air for me!

Thank you, Leslie! That’s so sweet of you. I hope you enjoy it!
Rhonda Devine
Our family really enjoyed this recipe and I enjoyed something healthy and quick to make for Sunday dinner–thanks for sharing!
MamaShire
Rhonda, so glad that you all enjoyed it!
Barbara
Soo good, simple and quick to prepare. I used less sweetener (about 1 tsp) made it as an S. Can’t get enough of it. Thank you so much for sharing.
Stefanie
Made this tonight for dinner. I wish I had read Barbara’s comment before, because it was way way way too sweet and I didn’t even use the full 1/3 cup of super sweet. However, I will definitely make it again and experiment with gentle sweet or much much less super sweet.
Chrissy
I don’t understand why there is a need for sweetener in a mince recipe!
Also can I substitute cornflour for the glucomannan as I do not have any issues with corn products?
Thanks
MamaShire
Hi Chrissy, the Mongolian beef recipe that I’m recreating is a sweet recipe. So that is why there is a sweetener. Feel free to leave it out if you prefer. Also, if you are following Trim Healthy Mama cornflour is not on plan, but if you aren’t you can use any thickener you normally use.
Sheri
Made this healthy and delicious recipe for dinner again tonight. It’s now a regular for my family. So good as leftovers too. Thanks for this wonderful recipe, Mamashire. It’s just right.
MamaShire
Yay! I’m so glad to hear this, Sheri!
Barbara
Made this tonight. Delish! Didn’t put near the sweetener (only a heaping Tbsp.). And I used Bragg’s Liquid Aminos. Big hit with the hubby who is trying to go low fat. Will definitely be making it again.

Can I use Xantham Gum as a substitute for Gluccomammine?
MamaShire
I haven’t tried that myself, but I have seen others us xanthan gum in place of glucomannan in other recipes.
Lucretia Goodwin
Wow amazing!! Made this for supper tonight…I think next time I will lessen the amount of sweetener too…I really liked how sweet it was but too much sweetener gives my husband hiccups. Great recipe!!
