Egg Roll in a Bowl Ingredients

• Ground Pork - cooking with ground pork is easy - it browns up like ground beef but has a milder flavor and pairs well with heavier sauces. You can substitute for ground chicken or turkey if you'd prefer. If you'd like to make it vegetarian, you can use crumbled tofu.
• Fresh Cabbage - use green or red cabbage or both if you'd like a colorful blend. You can purchase a pre-shredded coleslaw blend to make this dish even easier if you'd like. In fact, if you have leftover coleslaw mix (or any other leftover vegetables) this is a great recipe to use them in!
• Green Onions - you'll use the whole onion - the light green and white parts will be cooked with the meat and the dark green part is added as garnish.
• Ginger - use fresh ginger, if possible, as it has such a bright, sharp flavor that cuts some of the richer flavors of this dish.
• Garlic - you'll use a few cloves of garlic to add great flavor to the meat.
• Soy Sauce - adds a bold umami flavor and salt to the dish. Feel free to substitute for low-sodium soy sauce or coconut aminos if you'd prefer.
• Rice Wine Vinegar - adds a bright, flavorful acidity to the dish.
• Optional Topping - use black or white sesame seeds (or both) to sprinkle on the finished dish.

Sauce Ingredients (optional but very delicious)

• Mayonnaise - adds a creamy, rich base to the sauce. You can use regular mayonnaise or a seasoned mayo like Kewpie.
• Sriracha - adds some delicious sweet heat. Add more if you like a spicy sauce and reduce if you are sensitive to spice. Substitute for your favorite hot sauce.
• Water - you'll use just a little to thin the sauce.
• Fresh Lime Juice - brightens up the sauce with delicious citrus flavor.
• Soy Sauce - adds a punch of saltiness to the sauce.
