Method
 

Cooking the Filling
  1. In a large skillet, cook the ground pork over medium heat, breaking it up with a spoon until no longer pink.
  2. Drain any excess grease from the skillet, then add the shredded cabbage, carrots, grated ginger, and minced garlic.
  3. Sauté the vegetables for about 5-7 minutes until they are tender-crisp.
  4. Stir in the soy sauce and sesame oil, combining the ingredients well, then remove from heat and stir in the chopped green onions.
Assembling the Egg Rolls
  1. Lay out two large lettuce leaves, slightly overlapping them to create a larger surface for wrapping.
  2. Spoon about 1/2 cup of the pork and vegetable filling onto the lower third of the lettuce leaves.
  3. Fold in the sides of the lettuce leaves, then roll them up tightly from the bottom to create an egg roll shape.
Preparing the Dipping Sauce
  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, sriracha (if using), grated ginger, and minced garlic.
  2. Taste the dipping sauce and adjust seasonings as needed, adding more sriracha for spice or vinegar for tang.
Serving
  1. Serve the low carb egg rolls immediately with the prepared dipping sauce on the side.

Notes

You can easily customize this recipe by adding other vegetables like bell peppers or mushrooms, or by using ground chicken or turkey instead of pork. For extra crunch, you can lightly toast some sesame seeds and sprinkle them over the filling before serving. This recipe is also great for meal prepping; simply prepare the filling and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Assemble the wraps just before serving to prevent the lettuce from getting soggy.
