Ingredients

• 0.5 pound Ground pork
• 2 cups Cabbage
• 1 medium, shredded Carrot
• 2 stalks, sliced Green onions
• 2 cloves, minced Garlic
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground ginger
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 12 Egg roll wrappers
• 2 cups Vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground pork until fully cooked, about 5 minutes.

Step 2

Drain any excess grease from the pork and return the skillet to the heat.

Step 3

Add the cabbage, shredded carrot, sliced green onions, and minced garlic to the skillet. Stir-fry everything for 5-6 minutes until the vegetables are softened.

Step 4

Stir in the soy sauce, sesame oil, ground ginger, salt, and black pepper, mixing well to combine.

Step 5

Transfer the filling mixture to a bowl and allow it to cool slightly.

Step 6

Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with one corner pointing towards you, forming a diamond shape.

Step 7

Place about 2 tablespoons of filling near the center of the wrapper.

Step 8

Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in both sides towards the center.

Step 9

Roll the egg roll upward, ensuring it is tightly wrapped. Seal the top corner with a dab of water to secure it.

Step 10

Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.

Step 11

In a large heavy-bottomed pot, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C) for frying.

Step 12

Gently place egg rolls into the oil, a few at a time, carefully not to overcrowd the pot.

Step 13

Fry egg rolls for 3-4 minutes or until golden brown, turning occasionally for even cooking.

Step 14

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

Step 15

Serve immediately with dipping sauce of choice.
