Ingredients

• 250 grams Lean ground pork
• 2 teaspoons Sesame oil
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
• 2 cups Green cabbage, shredded
• 1 cup Carrots, grated
• 3 units Green onions, sliced
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce, reduced sodium
• 8 units Egg roll wrappers
• 1 unit Egg, beaten
• 1 bottle Cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat the sesame oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, sautéing for about 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 3

Add the lean ground pork to the skillet, breaking it up with a spatula, and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until fully browned and cooked through.

Step 4

Stir in the shredded cabbage and grated carrots. Cook while stirring occasionally for another 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are slightly softened.

Step 5

Add the sliced green onions and soy sauce to the skillet, stirring to combine. Cook for an additional 2 minutes. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.

Step 6

Place an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with one corner pointing towards you. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the pork mixture onto the center of the wrapper.

Step 7

Fold the corner nearest you over the filling, then fold in both side corners. Roll the wrapper tightly, and brush the exposed corner with the beaten egg to seal.

Step 8

Place the assembled egg roll on the prepared baking sheet seam side down. Repeat the process with the remaining wrappers and filling.

Step 9

Lightly spray the egg rolls with cooking spray, covering all surfaces evenly.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until the egg rolls are golden brown and crispy, turning halfway through baking.

Step 11

Remove from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes before serving.
