Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup vegetarian pork crumbles
- 2 cups green cabbage
- 1 medium carrot, grated
- 3 pieces green onions, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 10 pieces vegetable eggroll wrappers
- 0.5 cup cooking oil
- 1 tablespoon water
Instructions
In a large skillet, heat the sesame oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, sautéing for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the vegetarian pork crumbles to the skillet and cook them for 3-4 minutes till they're heated through.
Stir in the shredded cabbage, grated carrot, and sliced green onions, and continue to cook for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Add soy sauce to the mixture and stir well to combine. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, then remove the mixture from heat and let it cool slightly.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of water to form a paste. This will be used to seal the eggroll wrappers.
Place an eggroll wrapper on a clean surface, with one corner pointed toward you (diamond shape). Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the filling onto the lower third of the wrapper.
Fold the bottom corner of the wrapper over the filling, then fold in the sides. Roll it up tightly toward the top corner, using the cornstarch mixture to seal the edges.
Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
In a large skillet or deep fryer, heat the cooking oil to 350°F (175°C).
Carefully place a few eggrolls into the hot oil, frying them in batches so as not to overcrowd the pan.
Fry the eggrolls for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crisp. Remove them from the oil and drain on paper towels.
Serve the eggrolls hot, with your favorite dipping sauce on the side.
