Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground pork
- 2 cups shredded cabbage
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- 3 green onions, thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp ginger, grated
- 12 egg roll wrappers
- 1 egg, beaten
- 4 cups vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground pork and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon, about 6-8 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
Add the shredded cabbage, shredded carrots, green onions, soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are softened. Remove from heat and let the filling cool slightly.
Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean, flat surface with one corner pointing toward you, making a diamond shape.
Spoon about 2-3 tablespoons of the filling mixture into the center of the wrapper. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the two side corners. Roll tightly toward the top corner to form an egg roll shape. Seal the edge with a light brush of beaten egg.
Repeat the process with the remaining wrappers and filling.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot or deep fryer to 375°F (190°C). Carefully place a few egg rolls at a time into the hot oil, frying for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Use tongs or a slotted spoon to transfer the cooked egg rolls to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve the egg rolls warm with your favorite dipping sauce, such as sweet chili sauce or soy sauce.
