Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground pork
- 2 cups shredded cabbage
- 1 medium carrot, julienned
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 stalks green onions, chopped
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 package egg roll wrappers
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 4 cups vegetable oil, for frying
Instructions
In a large skillet or wok, heat a tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
Add the ground pork, breaking it apart with a spatula, and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
Add the shredded cabbage, julienned carrot, soy sauce, sesame oil, chopped green onions, grated ginger, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to the skillet.
Cook the mixture until the vegetables are tender, approximately 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
On a flat surface, lay out the egg roll wrapper with one corner pointed towards you, forming a diamond shape.
Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the filling onto the center of the wrapper.
Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides, and roll upwards tightly.
Brush the top corner with a bit of the beaten egg to seal the rolls securely.
Repeat this process with the remaining wrappers and filling.
In a large, heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer, heat 4 cups of vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).
Carefully add a few egg rolls to the hot oil, not overcrowding the pot.
Fry the egg rolls until they are golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side. Use a slotted spoon to remove them from the oil.
Transfer the egg rolls to a paper towel-lined rack or plate to drain off excess oil.
Serve hot with your choice of dipping sauce.
