Shredded cabbage starts to look like chow mein when cooked in chorizo. Hence the name keto chow mein. The taste is amazing — savory and a little more crisp than traditional chow mein.
You can make this in 20 minutes or less. #winning
This dish reminds me of some of the delicious and indulgent entrées I used to get from Chinese takeout places.

Shopping Notes
Check the ingredients labels on the chorizo and make sure to get a wheat-free option. They have fewer carbs and over all, are just better for you.
I like to get angel hair coleslaw in a bag, but any bagged coleslaw (cabbage) should be fine.
Hope you enjoy it!
Cheers,

Hi Are they any replacement for Red meat. I do not eat Beef or Pork. Can chicken or sea food be substituted?
Have not tried it but they do sell a vegan chorizo which is what I am going to try
it’s called soy-rizo I believe
Looking forward to trying this
I hate to cook! May try this since super easy?
I’m a huge fan of your site and your low carb fast food guides- I consult every time I want to eat out somewhere! Love the recipes you’re adding too, thanks for creating this site!!!
Love it, going to try it this weekend. Thank you
This looks SO good and sounds easy. I am adding cabbage to my grocery list for next week.
Where is the 6gm of sugar coming from? I’m assuming the chorizo or cabbage? I have different brands here in FL than you, so I am going to try to lower that.
Thank You!
I may have to try this. I looked chorizo up to see what was in it thinking it was like scrapple. Sounds like it’s just another name for sausage!
Just made this tonight. Good stuff. I would recommend covering the dish once you drop the eggs. ?
Can this we stored and reheated later?
Yep!
Angel Hair Cole Slaw added to my list of pasta replacements. I have seen Zuchini as pasta. Thanks.
Just made this…it’s amazing! The kids made lettuce wraps with the chorizo and devoured it. Family of 5 lives this!
Used beef sirloin as pork products don’t work for me. With or without eggs, makes a tasty meal. Cabbage makes a great pasts replacement.
Thanks for sharing. That’s a great tip!
UGH just love your blog. Thanks for this twist!
