Ingredients

• 12 sheets Egg roll wrappers
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 250 grams Ground chicken or pork
• 2 cups Green cabbage, finely shredded
• 1 large Carrot, julienned
• 4 stalks Green onions, chopped
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Ginger, fresh and grated
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce, low sodium
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons Water

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground chicken or pork, and cook until fully browned, approximately 5-7 minutes. Break up the meat with a spoon as it cooks.

Step 3

Add the garlic, ginger, cabbage, carrot, and green onions to the skillet. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are softened.

Step 4

Stir in the low-sodium soy sauce, black pepper, and sesame oil. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

Step 5

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Add the slurry to the skillet and sauté for 2 more minutes, until the mixture slightly thickens. Remove from heat and let cool.

Step 6

Place an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface, with one corner pointing towards you (i.e., a diamond shape). Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the filling onto the lower third of the wrapper.

Step 7

Fold the bottom corner up and over the filling. Tuck it snugly under the filling, then fold the side corners in to create an envelope shape.

Step 8

Continue to roll the wrapper tightly upwards. Brush a bit of water on the top corner of the wrapper to seal the egg roll.

Step 9

Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.

Step 10

Place the egg rolls seam side down on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly brush them with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, until the wrappers are golden brown and crispy.

Step 12

Serve hot with your choice of low-sodium dipping sauce.
