Scale

(Serves 4)

Stir-fry base:

1 tbsp avocado oil or sesame oil
1½ lbs ground pork (or beef/turkey—you love high-protein!)
6 cups shredded green cabbage (you love fresh produce!)
1 cup shredded carrots
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
2 green onions, sliced

Egg roll sauce (you control sodium & sugar!):

3 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce or coconut aminos (you love low-sodium options!)
1–2 tbsp sugar-free maple syrup (blood sugar friendly—you love this!)
1 tbsp rice vinegar
1 tsp sesame oil
½ tsp red pepper flakes (optional—you love spicy!)

Optional add-ins (you’ll love these!):

2 beaten eggs (classic egg roll touch!)
1 tsp fish sauce (for extra umami depth)

Garnish:

Extra green onions
Sesame seeds
Lime wedges (you love citrus!)

Instructions

1. Brown the meat:

Heat oil in a large skillet, wok, or Blackstone griddle over medium-high heat. Add ground pork; cook 5–6 minutes until browned, breaking into crumbles. Drain excess fat if needed.

2. Stir-fry veggies:

Push meat to one side. Add cabbage and carrots; stir-fry 5–6 minutes until crisp-tender. Add garlic and ginger; cook 30 seconds more.

3. Add eggs (optional):

Make a well in center; pour in beaten eggs. Scramble until just set; mix into meat-veggie mixture.

4. Make sauce & finish:

Whisk sauce ingredients in a bowl; pour over stir-fry. Cook 2–3 minutes until everything is coated and heated through. Stir in fish sauce (if using).

5. Serve:

Garnish with green onions, sesame seeds, and lime wedges.
