# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • You get all the nostalgic egg roll flavors without the messy rolling or deep frying mess
  • Its the perfect low-carb weeknight dinner that somehow tastes even better as leftovers the next day
02 -
  • Overcooking the cabbage is the biggest mistake—it turns mushy and loses that satisfying crunch that makes this dish special
  • Sesame oil is potent and can easily overpower everything else, so measure carefully and add it at the very end
03 -
  • Buy pre-shredded coleslaw mix for the fastest weeknight version—it usually has both cabbage and carrots already mixed
  • Let the skillet get nice and hot before adding the pork, that caramelization creates depth you cant fake
