I always make it with ground chicken for myself. My sister and my daughter both love it as well and my daughter asks for it often.
Shannon Riggio says
I've made this dish with ground beef and ground pork. I must say it's better with the ground pork. It's super easy and delicious. I even made actual eggrolls with this too. Its definitely a must try.
Anita says
Pretty much fool-proof. Made this without scrolling down to see the measurements🤪 and it still turned out delicious. We each added more soy sauce and sriracha to taste.
Vicki says
Pretty good, but I would use about half the meat (at least for pork). I also added wonton strips, which really added egg roll feel.
K. Halter says
I love that idea. It just wasn’t an egg roll without them.
Carol says
I made this last night using cabbage added sliced red peppers. I baked wontons to give it some crunch, like one of the other reviews did. OMG, this was soooooo good!!
Sorry forgot to get a picture.

Maritha Miller says
Hooray! Our family has now found our go-to recipe when we get cabbage in our CSA box. It often takes several recipes to find one the whole family approves of and for cabbage, that was this. I skipped the mushrooms, green onions, chili/sriracha and fresh ginger (used dry powder) because we didn't have those things. I served it with baked wonton wrappers brushed with sesame oil as another recipe had suggested and we enjoyed scooping the dish onto the crunchy wonton squares, like chips and dip. I thought it was even more flavorful as leftovers on the second day. I used a food processor for the carrots and chopped the cabbage finely by hand which was easy to do.
Anna says
Hi Maritha! Yay! That's wonderful! I am so glad you and your family enjoyed this dish. Thank you so much for giving it a try! I agree, the leftovers are delicious!
