Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups vegetable oil
- 1 pound ground pork
- 2 cups shredded cabbage
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon ground ginger
- 20 sheets egg roll wrappers
- 1 piece egg, beaten
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground pork and cook until browned and fully cooked, breaking it up with a spatula as it cooks.
Add the shredded cabbage, shredded carrots, soy sauce, minced garlic, and ground ginger to the skillet. Stir everything together and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are softened. Remove the filling mixture from the skillet and let it cool slightly.
Place an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with one corner pointed toward you (diamond shape). Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the filling onto the center of the wrapper.
Fold the bottom corner of the wrapper tightly over the filling. Fold in the left and right corners to the center, forming an envelope shape, and roll the wrapper tightly but gently upward. Brush the top corner with a little beaten egg and press to seal.
Repeat this process with the remaining wrappers and filling.
In a large saucepan or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Carefully place the egg rolls in the hot oil in small batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
Fry the egg rolls for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove them from the oil using a slotted spoon and transfer them 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.
