Ingredients
Sauce
- 1½ cups water
- ¼ cup rice vinegar
- 1½ tablespoon fish sauce
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 large garlic clove, minced
- ½ teaspoon Morton kosher salt
- 1 pinch crushed red pepper (Use more if you like heat!)
Egg Roll Mixture
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
- 1 pound bulk ground pork
- 3 large garlic cloves, minced
- ¼ cup peeled and minced fresh ginger
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 5 cups shredded green cabbage (Or use a 14-ounce bag of pre-shredded coleslaw mix instead.)
- 1 cup shredded carrots (Pre-shredded carrots works great!)
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 3 green onions, chopped
- chopped fresh cilantro leaves and wonton chips, optional garnish
Instructions
- Sauce: In a small saucepan over medium to medium-high heat, stir together all sauce ingredients. Once sugar and salt have dissolved, remove from heat and let cool to room temperature.
- Egg Roll Mixture: Heat a large skillet with tall sides over medium heat. Once hot, add sesame oil and let it warm for about 1 minute. Add pork, breaking it up with a wooden spoon or spatula. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring and breaking up occasionally, until pork is about half-way browned.
- Add garlic, ginger, soy sauce, black pepper, and sugar to the pork, and stir to combine. After pork is thoroughly browned, fold in cabbage and carrots. Cook, stirring occasionally, until cabbage and carrots are softened but still a bit crunchy, about 2 to 3 minutes. Sprinkle rice vinegar over the top of the egg roll mixture and fold one last time.
- Serve: Spoon the hot mixture over white rice. Top with green onion, cilantro, and wonton chips. Offer prepared sauce on the side, for individuals to drizzle over the top.
