Ingredients You'll Need
Alright, let's gather our ingredients. Here's what you'll need for this pork egg roll in a bowl recipe:
1 lb ground pork 1 tbsp sesame oil 1 medium onion, diced 3 cloves garlic, minced 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated 1 small cabbage, thinly sliced 2 carrots, julienned or shredded 4 green onions, thinly sliced 3 tbsp soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free) 2 tbsp rice vinegar 1 tbsp honey 1 tbsp Sriracha (optional, for heat) Salt and pepper, to taste Optional toppings: sesame seeds, chopped peanuts, cilantro
Cooking the Pork
First things first, we need to cook our pork. Heat the sesame oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground pork, breaking it up with a spoon, and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat and set the pork aside.
Sautéing the Veggies
In the same skillet, add the diced onion, garlic, and grated ginger. Cook until the onions are translucent, about 3-5 minutes. Then, add in the thinly sliced cabbage and shredded carrots. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the veggies are tender and slightly caramelized, about 10 minutes.
Mixing It All Together
Now, it's time to combine our pork and veggies. Add the cooked pork back into the skillet with the veggies. Stir in the soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, and Sriracha (if using). Cook for another 2-3 minutes, until everything is heated through and coated in the sauce.
