Name: Deconstructed Egg Roll
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 20 min
Total time: 35 min
Ingredients: 2 tablespoons sesame oil; 1 pound ground pork; 3 cloves garlic (minced); 1/2 inch ginger (peeled and minced); 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or to taste); 2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar; 3 carrots (peeled and grated); 4 cups shredded cabbage; 1/3 cup green onions (chopped ); hot sauce (to taste)

The deconstructed egg roll is everything you like about these delicious appetizers but served as a meal. Pork, vegetables, and seasonings are mixed together for a hearty dish.

This dish is much easier, and healthier than traditional egg rolls. No need to fumble around with delicate egg roll wrappers and no deep-frying involved.

You can mix and match the vegetables you put in the dish. Try adding well-drained water chestnuts, bean sprouts, or coleslaw mix (instead of chopping carrots and cabbage).
