- Instant Pot Jasmine Rice – the perfect versatile rice for just about any meal
How to Make the Sauce:
Start by whisking together the simple sauce ingredients and having it ready to go as you sauté the pork and carrots.
To make the sauce you’ll need:
- soy sauce
- rice vinegar
- Sriracha sauce
- garlic
- ground ginger
- honey
How to Make the Filling:
- Sauté one pound of ground pork until cooked through and drain off any excess fat
- Add thin sliced carrots and continue sautéing until tender crisp
- Pour in sauce and stir
- Cook until heated through
Now it’s time to assemble the bowls! Start with a layer of the rice (about 1/2 – 1 cup per bowl).
Add some freshly shredded cabbage for nice crunch and that delicious and distinctive egg roll flavor (without having to fry anything!).
Layer on that flavorful meat and carrot blend! A good half a cup or more depending on how many servings you’d like to get out of it.
Drizzle with as much of that spicy mayo as desired and garnish with cilantro for even more freshness.
Can I Freeze Leftovers?
The rice and mayo will not freeze well, but you can freeze the leftover filling! Place in a freezer bag or airtight container and freeze for up to 3 month. Thaw and reheat in microwave to serve.
Can this Egg Roll Bowl be Prepped Ahead?
