Instructions
Instructions for the Sauces:
Place all ingredients in a 1 or 2-cup measuring cup and blend with a whisk until all ingredients are well combined.
Taste for seasoning and adjust as desired. So simple!
Instructions for Egg Roll:
If using meat, cook thoroughly in the wok and set aside, covered, to keep warm.
In a wok (or Dutch oven), heat oil over medium-high heat. From the ingredient list add the cabbage through the chiles (if using) and stir fry the vegetables, stirring about every 30 seconds until slightly softened for about 6 minutes. (Of course, if you don’t like your vegetables very crunchy, cook a little longer until softened to your preference.)
Add the precooked meat and sauce (or serve sauce alongside), toss, and heat through. Scoop into bowls and serve with green onions. Simple and oh, so yummy.
Notes
