Ingredient memo
Pork – This recipe uses ground pork. The texture is perfect for this dish. Aroma – Fresh garlic, onions and ginger add a pungent taste and aroma to deconstructed egg rolls. Vegetables – chop the cabbage and carrots and add to the mixture. This adds a crunchy texture. Green onions are used as a garnish. Soy Sauce – Dark soy sauce has less salt than regular soy sauce. It’s also slightly sweet, which helps balance out the saltiness and flavor of this recipe. Sesame oil – adds a nutty flavor. Olive Oil – This ingredient will help crisp up the pork a little while cooking.
Replace with add-in
Substitute for ground meat – Instead of pork, you can use ground chicken, ground beef, or ground turkey. Add Sesame Seeds – For an extra nutty flavor, add more sesame seeds to the mixture or simply garnish with sesame seeds. Instead of dark soy sauce – you can use regular soy sauce, low-sodium soy sauce, tamari, or coconut aminos instead. Make it spicy – Add red pepper flakes, chili oil crisps, or Sriracha to spice up classic egg rolls.
How to make egg rolls in a bowl
Cook the pork. Heat a large wok over medium heat. Add the olive oil and ground pork and stir with a wooden spoon until the meat is broken up and cooked through. Add aromatics. Then add chopped onions, chopped garlic and ginger. Stir for about 3-5 minutes or until onions are translucent. Add vegetables and sauce. Next, add the shredded carrots, cabbage, green pepper, dark soy sauce, and sesame oil. Cook for another 3-4 minutes. Garnish and enjoy. Finally, garnish with chopped green onions and serve with spicy mayonnaise (optional).
Pro tip: Be sure to shred the pork well so it cooks evenly. Smaller pieces are also suitable for this dish.
recipe tips
Cook the pork thoroughly. Shred the pork until no pink remains during cooking. Don’t overcrowd the pan – You want the pork to brown, so don’t overcrowd the pan to the point where it’s actually steaming. This will make the pork too tender. Cut your vegetables evenly – By shredding your carrots and cabbage into evenly sized pieces, they will cook evenly and you won’t end up with too many vegetables. Add the green onions last. If you add it too early, the flavor will be muddy. To get the most onion flavor, add it before eating.
FAQ
Common mistakes include overcooking the cabbage and undercooking the pork. Cabbage needs some texture, so cook it just until it’s soft but not mushy. If you overcrowd the pork bun, the pork will steam and not be as crispy. Run in batches if necessary.
Egg rolls in a bowl are served warm, just like classic egg rolls. It is best eaten as is, but you can also eat it chilled if you prefer.
