This fun dish takes all the tasty parts of an egg roll and puts them in a bowl! It’s made with ground meat, crunchy veggies, and savory seasonings. Yum!
Key Ingredients & Substitutions
Ground Pork: This adds rich flavor to the dish. If you’re looking for a lighter option, turkey is a great substitute. You can also use tofu for a vegetarian twist, just ensure it’s pressed to remove excess moisture.
Coleslaw Mix: The mix is a time-saver and adds crunch. You can make your own using shredded cabbage and carrots. If you’re sensitive to cabbage, try a mix of shredded Brussels sprouts and carrots instead.
Onion & Garlic: Both add a strong flavor base. If you’re not an onion fan, shallots work well too. For garlic lovers, feel free to add more for an extra punch!
Soy Sauce: Use low-sodium soy sauce to reduce sodium intake. If you’re gluten-free, coconut aminos or tamari are great substitutes.
Sriracha: This gives a kick! If you’re not into spicy foods, you can leave it out or substitute with a mild chili sauce for a hint of flavor without the heat.
How Do You Cook Ground Pork Perfectly?
Cooking ground pork well is essential for flavor and safety. Start by preheating your griddle to medium-high so it cooks evenly. Break up the meat while it cooks for consistency. Cook until it’s browned and no longer pink, which usually takes 5-7 minutes. This way, you’ll achieve the perfect texture and taste!
- Use a spatula to crumble the meat while cooking.
- Resist the urge to overcrowd the pan; it helps avoid steaming.
- Check for doneness by ensuring there are no pink spots left.
