How to make pork eggroll in a bowl
- Step 1: In a large sauté pan, heat one Tbsp. of olive oil over medium-high heat. Then, add in the Hatfield® Sesame Soy Ginger Ground Sausage. While cooking, break apart the pork sausage using a utensil, and cook until brown and no longer pink — 10-12 minutes. Once cooked, remove from the pan and set aside.
- Step 2: In the same pan, add one Tbsp. olive oil and one Tbsp. sesame oil, minced garlic, ground ginger and onion. Sauté until the onions become translucent. Then add cooked ground sausage, cabbage, carrots, red pepper and soy sauce. Sauté for another five minutes, taste and add salt or pepper, if needed.
- Step 3: To prepare cauliflower rice: in a large sauté pan add one Tbsp. olive oil and one Tbsp. sesame oil. Cook for five to seven minutes until the “rice” becomes tender.
- Step 4: Finally, it’s time to assemble it: in a bowl, add the cauliflower rice, top it with the sausage vegetable mixture and garnish with scallion.
