    This recipe originally published March 2014, now updated with all new photos, step by step instructions, pro tips and FAQs.

    Egg rolls are a favorite Chinese food that can be diabetes friendly with just a few changes. Baking them instead of frying will lower the total fat and calorie count. Egg roll wrappers do have carbs, but not an extremely high amount. Two of these egg rolls will equal about 30 gm carb, but the filling is low carb. Try adding a serving of the filling to your plate along with a few egg rolls to help you fill up.

    Why this recipe works

    • Adding meat to the filling gives a source of protein to help satisfy hunger.
    • Lean ground pork or turkey helps keep fat levels lower
    • Convenience foods like coleslaw mix and ginger paste help save time and get this meal on the table in a flash!
