Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 16 oz egg roll wrappers
  • 1 lb ground pork
  • 3 cup shredded green cabbage
  • 1 cup shredded carrot
  • 0.5 cup sliced green onions
  • 2 tsp minced garlic
  • 1 tsp fresh grated ginger
  • 3 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar adds brightness
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper
  • 0.25 tsp fine sea salt optional, to taste
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch for sealing slurry
  • 2 tbsp water for sealing slurry
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil for sautéing
  • 4 cup vegetable oil for frying

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Stir cornstarch and water in a small bowl to make a smooth sealing slurry; set aside.
  • Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Cook the pork, breaking it up, until browned and no longer pink, 4-5 minutes. Drain excess fat if needed.
  • Add garlic and ginger; sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  • Stir in cabbage and carrot; cook until slightly wilted, 3-4 minutes.
  • Season with soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, pepper, and a pinch of salt. Fold in green onions and let the filling cool 10 minutes.
  • Place a wrapper on the counter like a diamond. Spoon 2-3 tbsp filling near the bottom corner.
  • Fold bottom corner over filling, tuck in sides, then roll up tightly. Brush edge with slurry to seal. Repeat with remaining wrappers.
  • Heat 4 cups oil in a deep pot to 350°F. Fry rolls in batches until golden and crisp, 3-4 minutes, turning once.
  • Drain on a rack or paper towels. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

Swap pork with ground chicken or make it veggie-only by adding mushrooms. For extra flavor, add a pinch of five-spice or a dash of oyster sauce to the filling. To reheat, crisp leftovers in a 375°F oven or air fryer for 5–7 minutes. Freeze uncooked rolls on a sheet pan, then bag and fry from frozen a minute longer.
