Ingredients

  • 12 egg roll wrappers
  • 1 lb ground pork or chicken
  • 2 cups shredded green cabbage
  • 1 cup carrots, julienned or shredded
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • Vegetable oil, for frying
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Water, for sealing wrappers

Instructions

  1. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add sesame oil.
  2. Cook ground pork or chicken until browned.
  3. Stir in garlic, ginger, cabbage, and carrots; cook until vegetables soften slightly.
  4. Season with soy sauce, salt, and pepper, then remove from heat.
  5. Let filling cool for a few minutes, then stir in green onions.
  6. Place a wrapper on a clean surface in a diamond shape, add filling near the center, fold the bottom point over, fold in sides, and roll tightly, sealing the edge with water.
  7. Heat oil in a deep skillet to 350°F (175°C). Fry rolls in batches until golden brown and crispy, turning occasionally.
  8. Drain on paper towels and serve hot with dipping sauce.

Notes

  • Use shrimp, chicken, or veggies as alternatives for the filling.
  • For a healthier option, bake at 400°F (200°C) for 20 minutes or air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 10–12 minutes.
  • Let the filling cool and drain excess liquid to prevent soggy rolls.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze before/after frying.
  • Reheat in oven or air fryer to keep them crispy.
