Instructions
- Combine all ingredients in the sauce section above and set aside.
- Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add the whisked eggs and scramble until cooked through. Set aside. See here for my post on making fluffy scrambled eggs.
- Season the pork with salt and pepper. Heat peanut oil in the same skillet over medium-high heat. Add the meat and cook for 3 minutes. Add the onions and cook for 5-6 minutes, until the meat is cooked through and no longer pink. Drain grease and set aside.
- Add the sauce mixture to the skillet and use a silicone spatula to “clean” the bottom and sides, this will add more flavor to the sauce. Let the sauce bubble gently and reduce for 4 minutes.
- Add the cabbage and carrots and cook for 5-6 minutes, or until desired texture is obtained.
- Add the meat mixture and eggs back to the skillet and toss to combine and heat through. Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions and serve!
Notes
- Pro Tips:
- Storage:
- Frying Egg Roll Wraps (For Garnishing):
- Nutritional information is an estimate and is per serving. There are 4 servings in this recipe. Garnishes are not included.
- Coleslaw Mix: A 16 oz. bag of coleslaw mix can be used for this recipe as well. It contains about 6 cups, this recipe calls for 5.
- Cabbage: If you purchase a whole cabbage for this (I do), leftover cabbage is perfect in my Thai Chicken Salad, Ramen Noodle Salad, Cabbage and Sausage, and Cabbage Soup!
- Meat: Ground pork, beef, chicken, or turkey are great options in this recipe.
- Eggs: Scrambled eggs are optional, they're not normally in an egg roll but they add more protein and a little "fried rice" flair to this dish!
- Rice Vinegar is a flavor enhancer that also creates a savory flavor in this dish, I highly recommend using it, but apple cider vinegar is the next best option if needed. White wine vinegar would be the 3rd best substitute.
- Mixed Frozen vegetables make a great addition to this as well! They can be added when the sauce is added.
- Pairing options include: Rice, sliced avocado, roasted vegetables, buttered noodles, and more!
- 📘 Find this recipe on page 155 of my 2nd cookbook, Let's Eat!
- Store in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Leftovers do freeze/reheat well!
- Cut Egg Roll wraps into 1-inch strips. Wonton Wrappers may also be used.
- Heat vegetable or canola oil over medium-high heat in a skillet. Use just enough oil to submerge the tortilla strips.
- Fry the strips in batches until crisp and slightly browned. Remove and set on paper towels, sprinkle with salt.
