Ingredients:
1 pound ground pork or chicken (for a leaner option)
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 medium onion, finely diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
1/4 cup soy sauce (low-sodium for a healthier choice)
1 tablespoon oyster sauce (optional but highly recommended for authentic flavor)
1 teaspoon rice vinegar
1 tablespoon hoisin sauce (look for a low-sugar version)
1 medium cabbage, thinly sliced
2 large carrots, shredded
3 green onions, thinly sliced (keep some for garnish)
Sesame seeds and chopped cilantro for garnish
Sriracha or chili garlic sauce (optional for an extra kick)
Instructions:
-Begin by heating the sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the finely diced onion and sauté for a few minutes until it turns translucent and begins to release its sweet aroma.
-Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet. Allow these fragrant ingredients to work their magic as they infuse the dish with delightful Asian-inspired flavors.
-Next, add the ground pork or chicken to the skillet. Use a wooden spoon or spatula to break up the meat into small crumbles, ensuring it cooks evenly and absorbs the delectable seasonings.
-Once the meat is cooked through and slightly browned, it’s time to enhance the flavors even further. Pour in the soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), rice vinegar, and hoisin sauce. Stir well to coat the meat and vegetables evenly with this savory and tangy elixir.
-Now, it’s time to transform this dish into a vegetable paradise. Add the thinly sliced cabbage and shredded carrots to the skillet. Watch in amazement as the vibrant colors and textures create a feast for the eyes.
-Continue to stir-fry the ingredients for a few more minutes until the vegetables wilt slightly but retain their delightful crunch. This step ensures that the dish remains fresh and satisfying.
-Lastly, sprinkle in most of the thinly sliced green onions, reserving some for a final garnish. These green beauties add a refreshing pop of color and a mild onion flavor to the dish.
-Once all the ingredients are well-combined and seasoned to perfection, it’s time to serve up this culinary delight. Divide the Egg Rolls in a Bowl among plates or bowls, and garnish with a sprinkling of sesame seeds, chopped cilantro, and the remaining sliced green onions.
-For those who enjoy a bit of heat, feel free to drizzle some Sriracha or chili garlic sauce on top for an extra kick of spice.
