Finely shred the cabbage and carrots. Chop the bean sprouts and green onions. Mince the garlic and ginger.
Heat sesame oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and ginger, sautΓ©ing for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the cabbage, carrots, and bean sprouts to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until the vegetables soften but remain crisp. Season with salt and black pepper. Remove from heat and stir in the green onions. Let the filling cool slightly.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to create a paste. This will act as the seal for your egg rolls.
Lay one egg roll wrapper flat on a clean surface in a diamond shape (one corner pointing toward you). Place 2-3 tablespoons of the vegetable filling near the bottom corner of the wrapper.
Fold the bottom corner of the wrapper over the filling, then fold in the sides tightly. Roll upward toward the top corner, applying the cornstarch paste along the edges to seal the roll. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
Heat the neutral cooking oil in a deep pan or skillet to 350Β°F (175Β°C). Fry the egg rolls in small batches for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
Alternatively, to bake the egg rolls, preheat the oven to 425Β°F (220Β°C). Place the rolls seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush lightly with oil and bake for 12-15 minutes, turning halfway, until crispy and golden.
Serve warm with your favorite soy-free dipping sauce or enjoy as is!
