Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground pork
- 2 cups Carrots, shredded
- 1 cup Bean sprouts
- 4 Green onions, finely chopped
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Fish sauce
- 1 teaspoon White pepper
- 20 Egg roll wrappers
- 4 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
- 1 Egg, beaten
Instructions
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground pork until no longer pink, breaking it up as it cooks. Drain excess fat and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the shredded carrots, bean sprouts, and green onions. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until slightly softened.
Stir in the minced garlic, soy sauce, fish sauce, and white pepper. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until well combined. Remove the filling from the heat and let it cool completely.
Once the filling has cooled, take an egg roll wrapper and place it on a clean surface with one corner facing towards you, like a diamond shape.
Add about 2 tablespoons of filling near the center of the wrapper. Fold the bottom corner up and over the filling, then fold in the two side corners. Roll the wrapper tightly while ensuring the filling stays enclosed.
Brush the top corner of the wrapper with beaten egg to seal the roll. Repeat this process until all wrappers and filling are used.
In a large, deep skillet or pot, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Carefully place a few egg rolls into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pot.
Fry the egg rolls for about 3-5 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are golden and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
Serve the egg rolls hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as sweet chili sauce or soy-vinegar dip.
