Instructions
- 1
Make the marinade in a small bowl by whisking together soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, cornstarch, and sugar.
- 2
Place strips of pork into a large mixing bowl. Pour half of the marinade over the pork and reserve the other half for later. Let pork marinate while you prepare other ingredients.
- 3
Heat 2 teaspoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add in beaten eggs, cover, and let cook through to form an omelet. Once cooked through, remove from pan and set aside.
- 4
Increase heat in the skillet to medium-high heat. Add in pork, discarding any excess marinade, and cook pork to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit, about 5 and 7 minutes. Once pork is cooked through, remove from skillet and set aside.
- 5
Add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet and let heat over medium-high heat. Add in mushrooms, bamboo shoots, cabbage, and ginger. Let cook 3 to 5 minutes, until mushrooms and cabbage are softened.

Pour remaining reserved marinade into the skillet and bring to a simmer. Sauce should thicken immediately.

Slice omelet into strips and return to the skillet along with the cooked pork. Toss to combine. Garnish with green onions.
