Egg Roll In A Bowl (Printable)

Seasoned ground pork with coleslaw mix, aromatics, and tangy sauce. A quick, satisfying skillet meal ready in 30 minutes.

# What You Need:

→ Protein

01 - 1 lb ground pork

→ Vegetables

02 - 4 cups coleslaw mix (shredded cabbage and carrots)
03 - 1 small onion, finely chopped
04 - 2 cloves garlic, minced
05 - 1-inch piece fresh ginger, grated
06 - 3 green onions, sliced

→ Sauce & Seasonings

07 - 3 tbsp soy sauce
08 - 1 tbsp sesame oil
09 - 1 tbsp rice vinegar
10 - 1 tsp sriracha or chili garlic sauce
11 - ½ tsp ground black pepper

→ Garnishes

12 - 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds

# How to Make It:

01 - Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the ground pork and cook, breaking it up with a spatula, until browned and cooked through, about 5 to 6 minutes.
02 - Add the chopped onion, garlic, and ginger to the skillet. Sauté for 2 to 3 minutes until fragrant and the onion begins to soften.
03 - Stir in the coleslaw mix. Cook, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are just tender but still retain some crispness, about 4 to 5 minutes.
04 - In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, sriracha if using, and black pepper until well combined.
05 - Pour the sauce into the skillet, tossing to coat all ingredients evenly. Cook for another 1 to 2 minutes until heated through. Remove from heat and stir in the sliced green onions.
06 - Transfer to serving plates and garnish with toasted sesame seeds and additional green onions if desired. Serve hot.
