Instructions:

1. Prepare the Filling:

  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground pork and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula.
  • Add garlic, ginger, and green onions. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
  • Stir in cabbage and carrots. Cook for another 4-5 minutes until the vegetables soften.
  • Add soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, white pepper, and cornstarch. Mix well and cook for 2 more minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
  • Remove from heat and let the filling cool completely.

2. Assemble the Egg Rolls:

  • Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface, with one corner pointing toward you (like a diamond shape).
  • Place 2-3 tablespoons of filling near the center of the wrapper.
  • Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides tightly.
  • Roll the wrapper upward, sealing the top corner with a bit of beaten egg to secure the roll.

3. Fry the Egg Rolls:

  • Heat 2-3 inches of vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pot to 350°F (175°C).
  • Fry the egg rolls in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for 3-5 minutes or until golden brown and crispy, turning occasionally.
  • Remove and place on a wire rack or paper towel to drain excess oil.
