How do you make Egg Roll in a Bowl?
Start by browning your pork sausage. Feel free to substitute ground pork if you prefer. Cook the pork sausage until it is almost completely browned. Now add the onions, carrots, ginger, garlic powder and Chinese five spice. Cook for 2-3 minutes stirring several times. Remove from the skillet, place in a bowl and cover to keep warm.
Now add a tablespoon oil to the skillet over medium heat. Add the cabbage and cook until slightly wilted. Now add everything back to the skillet and heat for several minutes. For best results serve promptly.
