Equipment
- Wok
- Cutting board
- Knife
Ingredients
- 1 pound Pork Sausage
- Rice
- 1/2 head Cabbage shredded
- 3 Carrots
- 3 tsp Garlic minced
- 2 pints Mushrooms baby portabella
- 1 tsp Ginger fresh ground OR powdered
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Sesame Oil
- 1 Tbsp Oil
- 1 Tbsp Chinese Rice Wine OR White Wine Vinegar
- 4 Tbsp Soy Sauce
- 1/4 tsp Sugar
Instructions
Cook the Rice
- Rinse the rice by swishing it in water and dumping the water out through a mesh strainer to catch any rice. This helps to clean the rice and will then make for a fluffier texture and better taste at the end. Rinse at least three times.
- Then add water to the rice in a pot, enough that when your hand rests on the rice it covers all your fingers.
- Then cook the rice.
Prep the Veggies
- Using a vegetable peeler, peel the carrots and then cut the bottom and tops off. If available, use a food processor to make short work of shredding the carrots, otherwise, a box shredder works just as well.
- Then wipe the mushroom caps clean with a paper towel getting any loose dirt off and dice the mushrooms. When using baby portabella mushrooms, take off the stems and do not use them as they can be tough and not that flavorful.
- Using a large chef knife, cut the cabbage in half, then cut the stem off as it is too tough, and slice the cabbage very thin.
- Place the Wok or large pan on the stove and then heat 1 Tablespoon oil to Medium-High.
- Cook any meat that you will then be adding to your Egg Roll Bowl, this recipe used 1-pound pork sausage.
- When fully cooked, place sausage onto a paper towel lined plate to soak up any excess fat.
- Add the cabbage, carrot, and mushroom mixture to the Wok and stir fry for 5-7 minutes, or until tender. This time may vary depending on how much cabbage you use.
- Add 1 teaspoon ground ginger, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, 1 Tablespoon Chinese Rice Wine, 1 Tablespoon Soy, and 1/4 teaspoon sugar to the vegetables; then mix well and continue to cook allowing the flavors of the seasonings to blend with the ingredients.
- Additionally, feel free to double the seasonings if you feel it needs more for flavor.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute or until fragrant, mixing well.
- Add the cooked pork sausage if using and then stir well into the cooked vegetables.
- Finally, serve the Egg Roll Bowl ingredients on top of the cooked rice and enjoy!
Notes
You can either make them vegetarian by omitting the sausage or making them with chicken.
