# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It delivers all the savory satisfaction of an egg roll without any wrapper work or deep frying
  • The whole thing comes together in one pan which means almost zero cleanup on a weeknight
02 -
  • Sesame oil added too early turns bitter when exposed to high heat for too long so fold it in with the liquid seasonings
  • Overcooking the cabbage is the number one mistake and it goes from tender crisp to mushy in about sixty seconds past the mark
03 -
  • Prepping all vegetables before turning on the stove keeps the cooking rhythm smooth since everything happens fast once the pork hits the pan
  • A squeeze of lime at the very end brightens the whole bowl in a way that surprised me the first time I tried it
