# How-To Steps:

03 - Add garlic and ginger, sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
04 - Stir in shredded cabbage, carrots, and half of the green onions. Cook, stirring often, for 3 to 4 minutes until vegetables are just tender but still crisp.

06 - Remove from heat. Garnish with sesame seeds and additional green onions. Serve hot, straight from the skillet.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • You get all those classic egg roll flavors in under 30 minutes with just one pan to wash
  • The cabbage stays slightly crisp, giving you that satisfying crunch without the wrapper
  • It's endlessly adaptable based on what ground meat you have in your freezer
02 -
  • Don't overcook the vegetables or you'll lose that fresh crunch that makes this dish feel like an egg roll
  • Toasted sesame oil is a finishing oil, not a cooking oil, so add it at the end for the best flavor
  • The mixture will seem overly salty at first but once the vegetables release some moisture, it balances out perfectly
03 -
  • Use a large skillet so the vegetables can spread out and cook rather than steam in a crowded pan
  • Let the pork get deeply browned in spots for extra flavor that you can't get from just cooked meat
