# Expert Advice:
01 -
- It delivers all the satisfaction of a crispy egg roll without a single wrapper to worry about
- The whole thing comes together in one pan so cleanup is basically nonexistent
- It hits that savory sesame ginger craving hard while keeping carbs around eight grams per serving
02 -
- Sesame oil turns bitter if you cook it too long, so always add it with the liquid seasonings near the end
- Overcooking the cabbage until it is mushy is the one mistake that will ruin the texture of the entire bowl
03 -
- Pat the ground pork dry with a paper towel before cooking if it looks watery in the package
- Slicing the cabbage by hand into thin ribbons instead of chopping it makes a real difference in how it eats
