Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground pork
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 green onions, chopped
- 1 cup carrots, shredded
- 2 cups cabbage, finely shredded
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 20 egg roll wrappers
- 1 egg, beaten
- 2 cups vegetable oil
Instructions
In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground pork. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes, breaking it apart with a spoon.
Add soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger, and garlic to the browned pork. Stir well and cook for another 2 minutes until fragrant.
Stir in the chopped green onions, shredded carrots, and cabbage until the vegetables are tender but still crisp, about 3-4 minutes.
Season the mixture with salt and black pepper to taste. Remove from heat and let the filling cool slightly.
Lay one egg roll wrapper on a clean surface, with a corner pointing towards you (diamond shape).
Place about 2 tablespoons of filling near the center of the wrapper.
Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the two side corners towards the center.
Brush a little beaten egg on the top corner and fold to seal the egg roll, rolling tightly.
Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
In a deep skillet or a large, heavy-bottomed pot, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).
Fry the egg rolls in batches, 3-4 at a time, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Use a slotted spoon to remove the egg rolls from the oil and drain on paper towels.
Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
