Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground pork
- 2 cups shredded cabbage
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- 1 cup bean sprouts
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 2 minced green onions
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 20 egg roll wrappers
- 1 beaten egg
- 4 cups vegetable oil
Instructions
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground pork until browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess fat and transfer the pork to a mixing bowl.
Add the shredded cabbage, shredded carrots, bean sprouts, minced garlic, and minced green onions to the mixing bowl with the cooked pork. Stir to combine.
Season the mixture with soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until evenly distributed.
Lay an egg roll wrapper on a flat surface, with one corner pointing toward you, like a diamond shape.
Place 2 tablespoons of the filling mixture near the corner closest to you. Fold the corner over the filling, then fold in the side corners and roll tightly.
Brush the top corner of the wrapper with beaten egg to seal the egg roll. Repeat this process with the remaining wrappers and filling.
In a deep skillet or pot, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Carefully add the egg rolls in small batches, frying until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per batch.
Remove the egg rolls using a slotted spoon and drain on a plate lined with paper towels.
Allow the egg rolls to cool slightly before serving. Serve with sweet and sour sauce, soy sauce, or your favorite dipping sauce.
