Ingredients

• 1 pound ground pork
• 2 cups shredded cabbage
• 1 medium carrot, julienned
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 2 stalks green onions, chopped
• 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 package egg roll wrappers
• 1 large egg, beaten
• 4 cups vegetable oil, for frying

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Add the ground pork, breaking it apart with a spatula, and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 3

Add the shredded cabbage, julienned carrot, soy sauce, sesame oil, chopped green onions, grated ginger, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to the skillet.

Step 4

Cook the mixture until the vegetables are tender, approximately 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

Step 5

On a flat surface, lay out the egg roll wrapper with one corner pointed towards you, forming a diamond shape.

Step 6

Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the filling onto the center of the wrapper.

Step 7

Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides, and roll upwards tightly.

Step 8

Brush the top corner with a bit of the beaten egg to seal the rolls securely.

Step 9

Repeat this process with the remaining wrappers and filling.

Step 10

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

Step 11

Carefully add a few egg rolls to the hot oil, not overcrowding the pot.

Step 12

Fry the egg rolls until they are golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side. Use a slotted spoon to remove them from the oil.

Step 13

Transfer the egg rolls to a paper towel-lined rack or plate to drain off excess oil.

Step 14

Serve hot with your choice of dipping sauce.
