Instructions

1

Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add 2 tsp toasted sesame oil.

Questions

What internal temperature should Egg Roll in a Bowl reach?

For Egg Roll in a Bowl, the target internal temperature is 160 F (about 70 C), given in step 2. A probe thermometer removes the guesswork.

Is there a substitute for rice vinegar in Egg Roll in a Bowl?

The entry for Egg Roll in a Bowl calls for 2 tsp rice vinegar. In its place: Apple cider vinegar or white wine vinegar, softened with a pinch of sugar, is close. Avoid plain distilled vinegar at full strength, which is much sharper.

Can I use ground chicken or turkey instead of ground pork in Egg Roll in a Bowl?

Yes. Use dark-meat ground chicken or turkey if you can, and add a teaspoon of oil per half pound, since pork brings fat that poultry does not. As written, the entry for Egg Roll in a Bowl uses 1 lb ground pork.

Is Egg Roll in a Bowl spicy?

Moderately. The heat in Egg Roll in a Bowl comes from 2 tsp sriracha sauce (adjust to taste). For a milder plate, start with half the sriracha and add more to taste at the end; nothing else in the method changes. For more, add it at the table rather than in the pot, so everyone sets their own level.

Does Egg Roll in a Bowl contain sesame?

Yes: 2 tsp toasted sesame oil and 2 tsp sesame seeds, toasted. The full allergen list for this entry is sesame. Seeds used as a garnish can simply be left off; the oil has no true substitute. Packaged ingredients vary by brand, so check labels if the allergy is serious.
