Ingredients

• 1 pound ground pork
• 2 cups shredded cabbage
• 1 cup shredded carrots
• 1 cup bean sprouts
• 2 cloves minced garlic
• 2 minced green onions
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 20 egg roll wrappers
• 1 beaten egg
• 4 cups vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground pork until browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess fat and transfer the pork to a mixing bowl.

Step 2

Add the shredded cabbage, shredded carrots, bean sprouts, minced garlic, and minced green onions to the mixing bowl with the cooked pork. Stir to combine.

Step 3

Season the mixture with soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until evenly distributed.

Step 4

Lay an egg roll wrapper on a flat surface, with one corner pointing toward you, like a diamond shape.

Step 5

Place 2 tablespoons of the filling mixture near the corner closest to you. Fold the corner over the filling, then fold in the side corners and roll tightly.

Step 6

Brush the top corner of the wrapper with beaten egg to seal the egg roll. Repeat this process with the remaining wrappers and filling.

Step 7

In a deep skillet or pot, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Carefully add the egg rolls in small batches, frying until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per batch.

Step 8

Remove the egg rolls using a slotted spoon and drain on a plate lined with paper towels.

Step 9

Allow the egg rolls to cool slightly before serving. Serve with sweet and sour sauce, soy sauce, or your favorite dipping sauce.
