Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 1 lb ground pork
- 2 eggs
Vegetables:
- 1/2 head green cabbage
- 2 carrots
- 3 green onions
Seasonings and Sauces:
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 tbsp ginger
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 tsp rice vinegar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, then add ground pork and cook until browned and crumbly, approximately 5-7 minutes.
- Mince garlic and grate fresh ginger, then add to the skillet with the cooked pork, stirring to distribute evenly.
- Shred green cabbage and julienne carrots, then incorporate into the meat mixture, cooking for 3-4 minutes until vegetables start to soften.
- Crack eggs directly into the skillet, quickly scrambling and mixing them thoroughly with the pork and vegetable blend.
- Pour soy sauce, sesame oil, and rice vinegar over the mixture, seasoning with salt and black pepper, then stir to combine all flavors.
- Continue cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes, ensuring vegetables are tender but still retain a slight crunch.
- Finely slice green onions and sprinkle on top as a fresh garnish just before serving.
- Transfer the egg roll bowl to serving dishes, creating a vibrant and aromatic one-pan meal ready to enjoy immediately.
Notes
- Swap ground pork with ground chicken, turkey, or tofu for a lighter protein alternative that keeps the dish versatile and diet-friendly.
- Reduce sodium by using low-sodium soy sauce or coconut aminos, which provides a similar umami flavor with less salt content.
- Boost vegetable nutrition by adding extra colorful veggies like bell peppers, mushrooms, or zucchini to increase fiber and micronutrient density.
- Create a gluten-free version by replacing traditional soy sauce with tamari and ensuring all ingredients are certified gluten-free for sensitive diners.
