Return the cooked ground meat to the skillet. Stir in soy sauce, sesame oil, ground ginger, and black pepper. Mix well and cook for another 2 minutes to combine flavors.
Mix in the sliced green onions, then turn off the heat. Transfer the mixture to a serving dish.
In a separate small pan, lightly toast the egg roll wrapper strips over medium heat until crispy and golden, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
To serve, top the meat and veggie mixture with the crispy egg roll strips for crunch. Drizzle with sweet chili sauce if desired and enjoy!
