Ingredients
- For the Filling:
- 1 cup shredded cabbage
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- 1 cup bean sprouts
- 1/2 cup chopped green onions
- 1/2 pound ground pork or chicken (optional)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- For Wrapping & Cooking:
- 12 egg roll wrappers
- 1 egg (beaten, for sealing)
- Vegetable oil (for frying)
- Optional Dipping Sauce:
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes or sriracha
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add ground pork or chicken if using, and cook until browned. Drain excess fat. Add minced garlic, shredded cabbage, carrots, bean sprouts, and green onions. Stir fry for 3-4 minutes until vegetables are tender but still crisp.
- Assemble the Egg Rolls: Place an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with one corner facing you (like a diamond). Spoon about 2 tablespoons of filling near the center of the wrapper.
- Fry the Egg Rolls: Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep pan or wok to 350°F (175°C). Fry egg rolls in batches for 2-3 minutes per side or until golden brown and crispy.
- Serve: Serve warm with optional dipping sauce.
Notes
- For a healthier alternative, bake the egg rolls at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through. Brush lightly with oil before baking for extra crispiness.
- Feel free to customize the filling with shrimp, tofu, or mushrooms to suit your preferences.
- Leftover egg rolls can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven to maintain crispiness.
