Ingredients

• 20 sheets egg roll wrappers
• 0.5 pounds ground pork
• 2 cups shredded cabbage
• 1 cup shredded carrots
• 1 cup bean sprouts
• 4 stalks green onions, thinly sliced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons water
• 2 cups vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground pork until no longer pink, breaking it apart with a spatula. Drain any excess fat and set aside.

Step 2

Add the shredded cabbage, shredded carrots, bean sprouts, green onions, and minced garlic to the same skillet. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are slightly softened.

Step 3

Return the cooked ground pork to the skillet. Stir in the soy sauce and sesame oil, mixing well. Cook for 1-2 more minutes. Remove from heat and allow the filling to cool slightly.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to create a slurry. This will act as your glue to seal the egg rolls.

Step 5

Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean, flat surface with one corner pointing toward you (like a diamond shape). Place about 2 tablespoons of the filling near the center of the wrapper.

Step 6

Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the side corners snugly. Roll the wrapper tightly toward the top corner, brushing a small amount of the cornstarch slurry on the edges to seal.

Step 7

Repeat the rolling process with the remaining egg roll wrappers and filling.

Step 8

In a deep skillet or pot, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Fry the egg rolls in batches, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per batch.

Step 9

Transfer the cooked egg rolls to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Step 10

Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as sweet chili sauce or soy sauce.
