Egg rolls in a bowl

Instructions

1. Cook the Ground Meat:
   • In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat.
   • Add the ground pork (or your choice of ground meat) and cook, breaking it up into crumbles with a spoon, until browned and cooked through (about 5-7 minutes).
   • Remove the cooked meat from the skillet and set it aside. Drain any excess fat, leaving about 1 tablespoon in the skillet for cooking the vegetables.
2. Sauté the Vegetables:
   • In the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon of sesame oil and heat it over medium-high heat.
   • Add the diced onion, and sauté for about 2-3 minutes until softened.
   • Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, and sauté for another 1 minute, allowing the flavors to develop.
   • Stir in the shredded cabbage and shredded carrots, and cook for about 5-6 minutes until the cabbage softens and begins to wilt. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.
3. Combine the Meat and Vegetables:
   • Return the cooked ground meat to the skillet with the vegetables.
   • Add the soy sauce and rice vinegar, stirring to combine all the ingredients. Continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes, letting the flavors meld together. Taste and adjust the seasoning, adding extra soy sauce, ginger, or vinegar if needed.
4. Serve and Garnish:
   • Once everything is well mixed and cooked, remove the skillet from heat.
   • Serve your Egg Rolls in a Bowl immediately, garnished with green onions, sesame seeds, and a drizzle of Sriracha or hot sauce if you like a little heat.

Tips for Success

• Customize the Protein: While ground pork is the most traditional choice for egg rolls, you can easily swap it for ground turkey, chicken, beef, or even tofu for a vegetarian version.
• Make it Spicy: If you like your egg rolls with a little kick, try adding some Sriracha or crushed red pepper flakes to the mixture, or drizzle the sauce on top for extra heat.
• Get Creative with Veggies: You can add extra veggies like bell peppers, mushrooms, or zucchini for more texture and flavor. Just be sure to adjust the cooking time so they don’t overcook.
• Use Gluten-Free Soy Sauce: For a gluten-free version, substitute coconut aminos for soy sauce. It’s a great alternative that still gives the dish a similar umami flavor.
• Meal Prep-Friendly: This dish is perfect for meal prep. Simply store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat it in the microwave or on the stovetop.
