Let’s go keto, let’s go! You don’t have to be following this low-carb, pro-meat diet to enjoy a fun riff on eggrolls. The Chinese restaurant faves are liberated from their wrappers, but all the elements are there to dig into.

Preparation
Mise en place
Remove the root ends of the bok choy; separate the leaves. Thinly slice the scallion, separating the white bottom and green top.
Cook & coat the pork
In a large pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Add the pork* and cook, breaking up the meat, 4 to 6 min., until browned and cooked through; season with ⅔ of the spices and S&P. Add the soy sauce; stir well. Transfer to a bowl and keep warm, leaving any browned bits in the pan. Reserve the pan.
Sauté the vegetables
In the same pan, heat the sesame oil on medium-high. Add the white bottom of the scallion and sauté, 30 sec. to 1 min., until fragrant. Add the cabbage, bok choy and carrots. Sauté, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan, 2 to 3 min., until wilted; season with the remaining spices and S&P.
Finish & serve
Roughly chop the cashews. Divide the pork and vegetables between your bowls. Garnish with the cashews and green top of the scallion. Bon appétit!
*Health Canada recommends cooking ground pork to a minimum internal temperature of 71°C.
