Ingredients
Scale
Meat and Protein:
- 1 pound ground pork
Vegetables:
- 1 cup shredded cabbage
- 1/2 cup shredded carrots
- 2 green onions, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
Seasonings and Sauces:
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- Salt
- Pepper
Egg Roll Wrappers and Frying:
- 12 egg roll wrappers
- Vegetable oil for frying
Dipping Sauce:
- Sweet and sour sauce
- Soy sauce
Instructions
- Sizzle ground pork in a skillet over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, crumbling meat until completely browned and cooked through.
- Incorporate shredded cabbage, carrots, green onions, and minced garlic into the meat. Sauté for 3-5 minutes until vegetables soften and release their aromatic essence.
- Enhance the mixture with soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 2 minutes, then remove from heat and allow filling to cool slightly.
- Position egg roll wrapper diagonally, placing 2-3 tablespoons of filling near the bottom corner. Fold bottom corner over filling, tuck side edges, and roll tightly, sealing top corner with water.
- Heat vegetable oil to 350°F in a deep pan. Carefully submerge egg rolls in batches, frying 3-5 minutes per side until achieving a golden, crispy exterior.
- Extract egg rolls using tongs, transferring to paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve immediately with complementary dipping sauces, ensuring maximum crunchiness and flavor.
Notes
- Select fatty ground pork for maximum flavor and juiciness, ensuring the filling stays moist and delectable.
- Consider baking egg rolls instead of deep-frying for a healthier alternative by brushing with oil and placing on a wire rack at 425°F for 15-20 minutes.
- Use pre-shredded coleslaw mix as a quick time-saving hack for vegetable preparation, which provides consistent texture and saves chopping time.
- Prevent soggy egg rolls by ensuring filling is completely cooled before wrapping and maintaining oil temperature around 350-375°F during frying to create crispy exterior.
