Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground pork
• 3 cups Shredded cabbage
• 1 cup Shredded carrots
• 3 stalks Green onions, thinly sliced
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 20 pieces Egg roll wrappers
• 4 cups Vegetable oil for frying

Directions

Step 1

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground pork until no longer pink, breaking it into crumbles. Drain any excess fat.

Step 2

Add shredded cabbage, carrots, green onions, and garlic to the skillet. Stir and cook for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are softened.

Step 3

Stir in soy sauce and sesame oil. Mix well and remove from heat. Allow the filling to cool slightly.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. This will be used to seal the egg rolls.

Step 5

Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface, one corner pointing toward you to form a diamond shape.

Step 6

Place 2-3 tablespoons of filling just below the center of the wrapper. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides. Roll tightly toward the top corner, brushing a little of the cornstarch slurry on the wrapper edges to seal.

Step 7

Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.

Step 8

Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan or fryer to 350°F (175°C).

Step 9

Carefully fry the egg rolls in batches for 3-5 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy.

Step 10

Remove egg rolls with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.

Step 11

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