Season chicken breasts with a pinch of salt and pepper and cook them in a skillet over medium heat until fully cooked, about 6-8 minutes per side. Remove from skillet, let rest for a few minutes, then shred using two forks.
In the same skillet, add coconut milk, yellow curry powder, minced garlic, grated ginger, and soy sauce. Stir and simmer on low heat for 3-5 minutes until fragrant.
Add shredded chicken to the coconut curry mixture and stir until well coated. Cook for another 2 minutes, then remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine shredded carrots, shredded cabbage, chopped green onions, and chopped cilantro. Add the chicken coconut curry mixture to the vegetables and mix until evenly combined.
In a small bowl, make a slurry by mixing cornstarch and water. This will be used to seal the egg rolls.
To assemble the egg rolls, place an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with one corner facing you (diamond orientation). Add 2-3 tablespoons of the filling near the center of the wrapper.
Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides, and roll tightly. Brush a small amount of the cornstarch-water slurry onto the top corner of the wrapper to seal. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350Β°F (175Β°C). Carefully add a few egg rolls at a time, ensuring not to crowd the pot, and fry for 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Serve the egg rolls warm with your favorite dipping sauce, such as sweet chili sauce or peanut sauce.
