Preparing the Ingredients

Gather all ingredients and prepare your workspace. Mince the garlic, grate the ginger, and slice the green onions to ensure a smooth cooking process.

Heat a KitchenAid Classic Iconic Stand Mixer or your favorite skillet over medium-high heat. Add sesame oil, then implement ground pork or chicken. Cook until browned and cooked through, breaking it apart with a spatula.

Pour in soy sauce and rice vinegar. Mix well, allowing the flavors to meld. Add red pepper flakes if you like a spicy kick. Stir in sliced green onions for freshness and aroma.

Serving the Egg Roll Bowl

Serve hot, garnished with sesame seeds for added crunch and flavor. For a more filling meal, consider serving over cauliflower rice or your preferred low-carb grain alternative.
