Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground pork
• 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Ginger, minced
• 2 cups Green cabbage, shredded
• 1 medium Carrot, julienned
• 3 stalks Green onions, sliced
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 20 Egg roll wrappers
• 1 Egg, beaten
• 4 cups Peanut oil, for frying

Directions

Step 1

In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Add minced garlic and ginger, stirring constantly until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Step 3

Add ground pork to the skillet. Cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 4

Stir in shredded cabbage, julienned carrot, and sliced green onions. Cook until vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes.

Step 5

Add soy sauce, sesame oil, and black pepper to the mixture, stirring to combine. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Step 6

Position an egg roll wrapper on a flat surface so a corner is facing you. Place 2 tablespoons of filling in the center.

Step 7

Brush the edges of the wrapper with beaten egg.

Step 8

Fold the bottom corner up over the filling, then fold in the sides, and roll tightly towards the top corner. Seal the edge with more beaten egg.

Step 9

Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.

Step 10

In a large heavy-bottomed pot, heat 4 cups of peanut oil to 350°F (175°C).

Step 11

Carefully add a few egg rolls at a time to the hot oil, frying until golden brown and crispy, about 5 minutes.

Step 12

Remove egg rolls with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

Step 13

Serve warm with your choice of dipping sauce.
