- 4 cups shredded cabbage
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- 1 bell pepper, chopped

Let the meat cook for 5-7 minutes, until it's fully cooked through and no longer pink. Drain any excess liquid or grease.

- While the egg roll mixture is cooking, add the soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, honey, cornstarch, and sriracha to a small bowl and mix well. Pour the sauce into the pan and mix well. Let the egg roll mixture simmer for 1-2 more minutes, until the sauce is thickened.
- Serve over rice with any additional toppings of choice.
Notes
