# Expert Advice:
01 -
- It delivers all the savory satisfaction of an egg roll without the wrapper, which means zero deep frying and way less mess
- The whole thing comes together in one pan so cleanup is almost nonexistent
02 -
- Overcooking the cabbage is the number one mistake here because it goes from crisp to mushy in about sixty seconds once it passes the tender point
- Adding the sesame oil too early causes it to lose its distinctive toasty aroma so always stir it in toward the end with the other sauces
03 -
- Pat the cooked pork with a paper towel if it released a lot of excess fat otherwise the final dish can feel greasy instead of flavorful
- Let the skillet get properly hot before adding anything because a cold pan will steam the meat instead of searing it
