# Expert advice:

01 -
  • It delivers every flavor you want from an egg roll without a single minute of deep frying or wrapper wrangling
  • The whole thing comes together in 25 minutes which means it actually happens on a Tuesday
02 -
  • Sesame oil breaks down under high heat so never add it at the start with the pork or it turns bitter
  • Overcooking the cabbage is the number one mistake here because it goes from perfect to mushy in about sixty seconds
03 -
  • Slice the cabbage as thin as you possibly can because thick ribbons never soften evenly in the short cook time
  • Coconut aminos are sweeter than soy sauce so start with two tablespoons and taste before adding more
