Egg Roll in a Bowl

Ingredients:

• 1 lb ground pork
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Sriracha sauce (adjust to taste)
• 1 medium-sized cabbage, thinly sliced
• 2 carrots, julienned
• 4 green onions, sliced
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Sesame seeds and chopped cilantro for garnish

Instructions:

1. Prepare Ingredients:
   • Start by prepping all the ingredients. Chop the onion, mince the garlic, grate the ginger, slice the cabbage thinly, julienne the carrots, and chop the green onions.
2. Cook Ground Pork:
   • In a large skillet or wok, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the ground pork and cook until browned and fully cooked, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks.
3. Add Aromatics:
   • Push the pork to the side of the skillet and add chopped onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the onion is translucent and fragrant.
4. Sauce It Up:
   • Pour in soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and Sriracha sauce. Stir well to combine the flavors and let it simmer for 2 minutes.
5. Vegetable Medley:
   • Add the sliced cabbage and julienned carrots to the skillet. Toss the vegetables with the pork and sauce until they are well-coated. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
6. Finish with Green Onions:
   • Stir in sliced green onions and cook for an additional 2 minutes. This will add a fresh and vibrant flavor to the dish.
7. Adjust Seasoning:
   • Taste the Egg Roll in a Bowl and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper if needed. Remember, the soy sauce already adds saltiness, so be mindful of how much additional salt you add.
