Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups vegetable oil
- 1 pound ground pork
- 2 cups green cabbage
- 1 cup carrots
- 0.5 cup green onions
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon ginger
- 15 sheets egg roll wrappers
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the ground pork and cook until it is browned and fully cooked, breaking it apart with a spatula. Drain any excess grease.
Add the green cabbage, shredded carrots, and chopped green onions to the skillet. Stir well and cook until the vegetables soften slightly, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until well combined. Set the filling aside to cool.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash.
Place an egg roll wrapper on a clean, flat surface in a diamond shape. Add 2 tablespoons of filling in the center.
Fold the bottom corner of the wrapper over the filling, then fold in the sides. Roll up tightly, brushing the top corner with the egg wash to seal.
Repeat the process with the remaining wrappers and filling.
Heat the remaining vegetable oil in a deep pan or pot to 350°F (175°C).
Carefully lower each egg roll into the hot oil, a few at a time, and fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Remove the egg rolls from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce, such as sweet and sour sauce or soy sauce.
