Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground pork
- 2 cups Green cabbage, shredded
- 1 cup Carrots, grated
- 4 Green onions, finely sliced
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon Ground ginger
- 20 Egg roll wrappers
- 4 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
- 1 Egg, beaten (for sealing wrappers)
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the ground pork. Cook until browned and fully cooked, breaking it apart with a spatula. Drain any excess grease.
Add the shredded cabbage, grated carrots, green onions, and minced garlic to the skillet. Stir and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened.
Stir in the soy sauce, sesame oil, and ground ginger. Mix thoroughly, then remove the mixture from the heat and let it cool for about 10 minutes.
To assemble the egg rolls, lay one egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with one corner pointing toward you (like a diamond shape). Place about 2 tablespoons of the filling near the center of the wrapper.
Fold the bottom corner up over the filling. Then fold the left and right corners toward the center, overlapping slightly to seal the edges. Brush the top corner with beaten egg, then roll tightly to seal. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pot or fryer to 350°F (175°C). Carefully fry 3-4 egg rolls at a time, turning occasionally, for 3-5 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
Using tongs, transfer the cooked egg rolls to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Let them cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce, such as sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, or plum sauce.
