Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1/2 lb (225g) lean ground pork
  • 2 cups shredded cabbage
  • 1/2 cup grated carrots
  • 3 green onions, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced
  • 12 egg roll wrappers
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • Vegetable oil, for frying

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Filling: Heat a bit of vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and ginger and cook just until fragrant. Add ground pork and cook until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks. Stir in shredded cabbage, grated carrots, and chopped green onions. Season with soy sauce and sesame oil. Cook until vegetables are tender but still crisp. Remove from heat and let the filling cool completely.
  2. Assemble the Egg Rolls: Lay a single egg roll wrapper flat with one corner pointing toward you in a diamond shape. Place about 2 tablespoons of filling near the corner closest to you. Fold that corner over the filling, then fold in the side corners snugly around the filling. Roll the wrapper tightly toward the far corner. Seal the edge with cornstarch slurry (cornstarch mixed with water) to keep the roll from opening during frying.
  3. Fry Until Golden: Pour enough vegetable oil into a deep pan to submerge the egg rolls halfway. Heat oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Fry the egg rolls in batches, turning occasionally, until golden brown. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
  4. Serve and Enjoy: Let egg rolls cool slightly before serving. Pair with your favorite dipping sauces such as sweet chili, soy sauce, or garlic sauce for extra flavor.

Notes

  • Don’t overfill to avoid tearing the wrappers.
  • Pat filling dry to prevent soggy wrappers.
  • Use fresh, pliable wrappers for easy rolling.
  • Seal edges well with cornstarch slurry.
  • Maintain medium-high oil temperature to keep rolls crispy.
