Ingredients
Scale
Proteins
- 1 lb Ground Pork
Vegetables
- 4 cups Shredded Green Cabbage
- 1 cup Grated Carrots
- 1/2 cup Chopped Green Onions
- 2 cloves Minced Garlic
- 1 tablespoon Fresh Ginger, minced
Seasonings & Sauces
- 3 tablespoons Soy Sauce
- 1 tablespoon Sesame Oil
- 1 teaspoon Rice Vinegar
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Finely chop the green onions, shred the cabbage, grate the carrots, and mince the garlic and fresh ginger to have all ingredients ready for cooking.
- Cook the Meat: Heat a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground pork, and cook thoroughly until browned. If there is excess fat, drain it carefully to avoid greasy texture.
- Sauté Vegetables: Add the grated carrots and shredded cabbage to the browned pork. Stir-fry the mixture for about 5 minutes until the vegetables soften slightly but still retain some crunch.
- Add Aromatics: Stir in the minced garlic, fresh ginger, and chopped green onions. Continue cooking for 1 to 2 minutes until the mixture becomes aromatic and the flavors meld.
- Season the Dish: Pour soy sauce, sesame oil, and rice vinegar over the skillet contents. Toss everything thoroughly to combine and simmer for an additional 2 to 3 minutes so the flavors fully infuse.
- Serve and Enjoy: Spoon the egg roll mixture into bowls while hot. Optionally, garnish with extra chopped green onions or sesame seeds for added texture and visual appeal.
Notes
- Use lean ground pork to reduce excess fat and make the dish lighter.
- Feel free to substitute ground chicken or turkey if preferred.
- Adjust soy sauce quantity to control the saltiness according to your taste.
- For a vegetarian version, substitute pork with firm tofu or tempeh.
- Serve with steamed rice if you want a more filling meal.
- Garnishing with toasted sesame seeds adds an extra nutty flavor and crunch.
