# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • All the crunchy, savory comfort of egg rolls without the fuss of rolling and frying
  • One skillet means almost zero cleanup and dinner ready in under 30 minutes
02 -
  • Do not overcook the vegetables or you will lose that satisfying crunch
  • Coconut aminos are slightly sweeter than soy sauce so adjust salt accordingly
03 -
  • Toasted sesame oil is potent so measure carefully it can easily overpower the dish
  • Shred your own cabbage from a head instead of buying pre shredded bags for better texture and freshness
