  • 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated on a microplane

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.
