Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground pork or chicken
- 2 cups Green cabbage
- 1 cup Carrots
- 3 stalks Green onions
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Pepper
- 1 package Egg roll wrappers
- 2 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
- 1 unit Egg (lightly beaten)
Instructions
Finely shred the cabbage and carrots, and chop the green onions. Mince the garlic.
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground pork (or chicken) until completely browned. Drain any excess oil if needed.
Add the shredded cabbage, carrots, green onions, and garlic to the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes until the vegetables soften.
Stir in soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 2 minutes to combine flavors, then remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface in a diamond shape. Place 2 tablespoons of the filling near the bottom corner of the wrapper.
Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides and roll tightly. Brush the top corner with the beaten egg to seal. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet or fryer to 350°F (175°C).
Carefully place the egg rolls in the hot oil, a few at a time, and fry for 3-4 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy.
Remove the egg rolls from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce, such as sweet chili sauce or soy sauce.
