Cuisine: Asian
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground pork
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 4 cups coleslaw mix
- 2 green onions, sliced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 1 pound of ground pork, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of sesame oil, 4 cups of coleslaw mix, 2 green onions (sliced), and 1 teaspoon of minced ginger.
- In a large skillet or frying pan, heat the sesame oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers.
- Add the ground pork to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pork is browned and cooked through.
- Once the pork is cooked, add the minced ginger and soy sauce to the skillet. Stir well to combine and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to let the flavors meld.
- Next, add the coleslaw mix to the skillet. Stir it into the pork mixture, ensuring that the cabbage and carrots are well coated with the sauce. Cook for another 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the coleslaw mix is tender but still slightly crisp.
- During the last minute of cooking, add the sliced green onions to the skillet. Stir them in and allow them to soften slightly.
- Once everything is well combined and heated through, remove the skillet from heat. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more soy sauce if desired.
- Serve the egg rolls in a bowl warm, garnished with additional sliced green onions if you like. Enjoy your delicious, deconstructed egg rolls!
Tips
- Use fresh ground pork with a bit of fat content for maximum flavor and juiciness.
- Make sure to break up the ground pork into small, even pieces while cooking to ensure uniform browning.
- Don't overcook the coleslaw mix – you want it tender but still slightly crisp for the best texture.
- For extra crunch, consider adding some toasted sesame seeds or crushed wontons on top.
- If you want to make this dish lower carb, you can substitute the coleslaw mix with cauliflower rice.
- For added heat, sprinkle some red pepper flakes or drizzle with sriracha sauce before serving.
- This dish reheats beautifully, making it perfect for meal prep and leftovers.
