Best Egg Rolls

Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground pork (or chicken)
  • 2 cups cabbage, finely shredded
  • 1 cup carrots, shredded
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp oyster sauce
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1/2 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 12 egg roll wrappers
  • 1 egg, beaten (for sealing)
  • Oil for frying

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Filling:
    • In a skillet over medium heat, cook ground pork until browned. Drain any excess fat.
    • Add cabbage, carrots, green onions, and garlic. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until veggies soften.
    • Stir in soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, ground ginger, and black pepper. Cook for another minute. Let the filling cool.
  2. Assemble the Egg Rolls:
    • Lay an egg roll wrapper in a diamond shape. Place 2 tablespoons of filling near the bottom corner.
    • Fold the bottom corner over the filling, tuck in the sides, and roll tightly. Brush the top corner with beaten egg to seal.
  3. Fry to Perfection:
    • Heat oil in a deep skillet or fryer to 350°F (175°C).
    • Fry egg rolls in batches for 3-4 minutes, turning occasionally until golden brown and crispy.
    • Drain on paper towels.
  4. Serve:
    • Serve hot with sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, or your favorite dipping sauce.

Would you like me to add variations — like veggie-only or air-fried versions — or a dipping sauce recipe too?
