# Expert Advice:
01 -
- It delivers all the craveable flavors of a restaurant egg roll without any wrapper guilt or deep frying mess
- The whole thing comes together in 25 minutes which means it actually happens on busy weeknights instead of living on your forever to try list
02 -
- Sesame oil is a finishing oil not a cooking oil so adding it too early will make it taste bitter and burnt
- Crowding the pan drops the temperature and steams the pork instead of browning it so use the biggest skillet you own
03 -
- Grate your ginger with a microplane and it will melt right into the dish with no stringy bits
- Let the skillet reheat for 30 seconds between each step and you will get better color and texture throughout
