Ingredients:
12 egg roll wrappers
1 pound ground pork
2 cups shredded cabbage
1 cup shredded carrots
4 thinly sliced scallions
2 minced garlic cloves
1 tablespoon finely grated ginger
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons water
Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions:
Heat a skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Cook the pork until no longer pink, breaking it up as it cooks.
Add cabbage, carrots, scallions, garlic, and ginger to the pork. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until vegetables soften.
Stir in soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, and white pepper. Cook for 2 more minutes, then remove from heat to cool.
Mix cornstarch and water to make a slurry for sealing the wrappers.
Place filling on each wrapper, fold, tuck in sides, roll tightly, and seal with the slurry.
Heat oil to 350°F (175°C). Fry egg rolls in batches until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
Variations & Tips:
For a vegetarian version, use tofu or shiitake mushrooms.
Add Chinese five-spice powder for extra flavor.
For a healthier option, bake the egg rolls instead of frying.
Ensure the filling is not too moist to avoid soggy wrappers.
The rolling technique may take practice but contributes to the perfect crunch.
Indulge in these homemade egg rolls, a culinary expression of heritage and creativity. Whether you’re a seasoned cook or a beginner, the process of making egg rolls is as rewarding as savoring them. Enjoy the harmonious blend of flavors and textures that make this dish a timeless classic.
