Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add 8 oz ground pork and cook, breaking it apart with a spatula, for 4-5 minutes until browned and no longer pink.
  2. Step 2: Stir in 2 minced garlic cloves and 1 tsp minced ginger, sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant but not burnt.
  3. Step 3: Add 1.5 cups shredded cabbage and 1/2 cup grated carrot to the skillet, stirring continuously for 3-4 minutes until vegetables soften but retain some crunch.
  4. Step 4: Sprinkle 1/2 tsp Chinese five-spice powder, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp sesame oil, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/8 tsp freshly ground black pepper over the mixture, stirring to coat everything evenly. Cook for another 2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and coats the filling.
  5. Step 5: Remove from heat and fold in 1/4 cup sliced green onions just before serving or using as egg roll filling.
