Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground pork
- 3 cups Shredded cabbage
- 1 cup Shredded carrots
- 3 stalks Green onions, thinly sliced
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 20 pieces Egg roll wrappers
- 4 cups Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground pork until no longer pink, breaking it into crumbles. Drain any excess fat.
Add shredded cabbage, carrots, green onions, and garlic to the skillet. Stir and cook for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
Stir in soy sauce and sesame oil. Mix well and remove from heat. Allow the filling to cool slightly.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. This will be used to seal the egg rolls.
Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface, one corner pointing toward you to form a diamond shape.
Place 2-3 tablespoons of filling just below the center of the wrapper. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides. Roll tightly toward the top corner, brushing a little of the cornstarch slurry on the wrapper edges to seal.
Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan or fryer to 350°F (175°C).
Carefully fry the egg rolls in batches for 3-5 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy.
Remove egg rolls with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce, such as sweet chili or soy sauce.
