Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground pork
• 2 tablespoons Sesame oil
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves
• 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger
• 4 cups Green cabbage
• 2 cups Carrots, shredded
• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce or tamari
• 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
• 3 stalks Green onions
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
• 1 teaspoon Sriracha or chili garlic sauce (optional)
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of sesame oil.

Step 2

Add the ground pork to the skillet and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until fully browned and cooked through (about 5-6 minutes). Drain any excess fat if necessary.

Step 3

While the pork cooks, mince the garlic cloves and grate the fresh ginger.

Step 4

Once the pork is browned, add the garlic and ginger to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of sesame oil to the skillet, followed by the shredded cabbage and carrots. Stir well to combine.

Step 6

Cook the vegetables for 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften but still retain some crunch.

Step 7

Pour the soy sauce and rice vinegar into the skillet and toss everything together. Add the Sriracha or chili garlic sauce if you'd like a spicy kick.

Step 8

Season the mixture with salt and black pepper to taste. Stir for another minute to ensure everything is evenly coated.

Step 9

Remove the pan from the heat and let the mixture cool slightly before serving.

Step 10

Thinly slice the green onions and sprinkle them over the top. Garnish with sesame seeds.

Step 11

Serve the egg roll salad warm as a main dish or side. Optionally, pair it with steamed rice or crispy wonton strips for added texture.
