Ingredients
Gathering your ingredients is the first step to creating any great dish. Here’s what you’ll need to make this flavorful Egg Roll in a Bowl:
- 1 pound ground pork (or substitute with ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option)
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1/2 head of green cabbage, thinly sliced
- 2 large carrots, julienned
- 1/4 cup soy sauce (or tamari for a gluten-free option)
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sriracha (adjust to taste for heat preference)
- 2 green onions, sliced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Sesame seeds for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Now, let’s get cooking! Follow these steps to bring this dish to life:
- Heat the sesame oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground pork and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add the chopped onion to the skillet and sauté until translucent, approximately 3 minutes. Stir in the garlic and ginger, cooking for an additional minute until fragrant.
- Mix in the sliced cabbage and julienned carrots. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften, roughly 5 minutes. I like to let the vegetables retain a bit of crunch for texture, just the way my abuela would.
- Pour in the soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sriracha, stirring to combine. Allow the mixture to simmer for 2-3 minutes so the flavors meld together.
- Sprinkle the sliced green onions over the top and season with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with sesame seeds if desired, and serve hot.
