Ingredients

• 14 ounces extra-firm tofu
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1 cup shredded carrots
• 2 cups shredded cabbage
• 1 cup bean sprouts
• 2 stalks green onions, chopped
• 2 cloves minced garlic
• 1 teaspoon grated ginger
• 12 sheets egg roll wrappers
• 3 cups vegetable oil
• 2 teaspoons cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons water

Directions

Step 1

Drain the tofu and press it between paper towels to remove excess moisture. Crumble the tofu into small pieces using your hands or a fork.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat the sesame oil over medium heat. Add the crumbled tofu and cook for 3–4 minutes until slightly golden. Stir in the soy sauce and cook for another 2 minutes. Set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add the garlic, ginger, shredded carrots, shredded cabbage, and bean sprouts. Cook for 4–5 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp. Stir in the cooked tofu and green onions. Mix well and remove from heat.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Place one egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with a corner pointing toward you (like a diamond shape). Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the tofu vegetable mixture onto the center of the wrapper.

Step 6

Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides, and roll tightly. Brush a little of the cornstarch paste on the top corner to seal the roll. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.

Step 7

Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pot to 350°F (175°C). Carefully place the egg rolls in the hot oil, in batches, and fry for 3–4 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Remove and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.

Step 8

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