Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Filling

  1. Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a pan over medium-high heat.
  2. Add ground pork and cook until browned (5 minutes), breaking it apart.
  3. Stir in garlic, ginger, cabbage, carrots, and green onions. Cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.
  4. Add soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and pepper. Stir well, then remove from heat and let cool.

Step 2: Assemble the Egg Rolls

  1. Lay an egg roll wrapper in a diamond shape on a clean surface.
  2. Spoon 2 tbsp of filling onto the lower third of the wrapper.
  3. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides.
  4. Roll tightly, sealing the edge with beaten egg. Repeat for all wrappers.

Step 3: Fry the Egg Rolls

  1. Heat 2 cups of oil in a deep pan to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Fry 3-4 egg rolls at a time for 3-4 minutes, until golden brown.
  3. Remove and drain on a paper towel.

Alternative Cooking Methods:

  • Baked: Brush with oil and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 18-20 minutes, flipping halfway.
  • Air-Fried: Spray with oil and air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway.

Step 4: Serve & Enjoy

  1. Serve warm with sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, or duck sauce.

Notes

  • Make-Ahead: Freeze assembled egg rolls before frying for up to 3 months. Fry from frozen, adding 1-2 extra minutes.
  • Vegetarian Option: Replace pork with tofu or mushrooms.
  • Extra Crispy: Double-fry the egg rolls for extra crunch!
