Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Vegetarian pork crumbles
- 2 cups Cabbage, finely shredded
- 1 cup Carrot, grated
- 3 stalks Green onions, finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground ginger
- 12 pieces Egg roll wrappers
- 2 cups Vegetable oil for frying
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
In a large skillet over medium heat, add a small amount of vegetable oil.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the vegetarian pork crumbles, shredded cabbage, grated carrot, and chopped green onions to the skillet. Stir well to combine.
Pour in the soy sauce and sesame oil. Add the ground ginger and continue to stir-fry the mixture for about 5 to 7 minutes, until the vegetables are tender.
Remove the skillet from the heat and allow the filling to cool slightly.
In a small bowl, mix cornstarch and water to create a paste. This will be used to seal the egg rolls.
Place one egg roll wrapper on a clean surface, with a corner pointing towards you so it forms a diamond shape.
Add about 2 tablespoons of the filling near the corner closest to you. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold the sides over and roll tightly. Use the cornstarch mixture to seal the top corner. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan over medium-high heat. The oil should be at least 350°F for frying.
Carefully add 3 to 4 egg rolls to the hot oil. Fry for about 3 to 4 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy.
Remove the egg rolls from the oil and drain on paper towels.
Serve the egg rolls hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
