Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/4 inch fresh ginger shredded
  • 1 pound ground pork sausage
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seed oil
  • 1 small onion thinly sliced
  • 1 large carrot shredded (approximately 1 cup)
  • 1/4 green cabbage thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 green onion thinly sliced
  • Sesame seeds for garnishing

Instructions

  • Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan or skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and shredded ginger, and cook for 1 minute.
  • Add the ground pork sausage to the skillet and cook for about 10 minutes or until cooked through. Break up the meat with a spatula as it cooks.
  • Push the cooked pork to one side of the skillet. Add sesame seed oil to the empty space, along with the onion, carrots, and cabbage. Combine the cooked pork with the vegetables and cook for 5-10 minutes or until the cabbage is tender-crisp.
  • Stir in soy sauce, sriracha, and sea salt to taste.
  • Garnish with thinly sliced green onions and sesame seeds. Serve immediately.

Notes

  1. Don't Overcrowd the Skillet: If the skillet is too crowded, the vegetables won't cook evenly and may become soggy. Work in batches if necessary, or use a bigger skillet!
  2. Feel Free to use a Stainless Steel Frying Pan: I've made this egg roll bowl in both and have no complaints with either!
  3. Don't Overcook the Vegetables: Overcooked vegetables will be mushy. And I don't like mushy cabbage. Cook them until they are just tender-crisp.
  4. Taste and Adjust: Taste the dish as you go and adjust the seasonings to your liking.
  5. Serve Immediately: Egg roll bowls are best served immediately while the vegetables are still hot and crispy.
  6. Leftovers: If you have leftovers, reheat them in a skillet over medium heat with a splash of water.
