  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 12 egg rolls

Ingredients

Filling

  • 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
  • 3/4 pound ground pork
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon minced ginger
  • 3 cups coleslaw mix
  • 1/4 cup sliced green onions
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil

Assembly

  • 12 egg roll wrappers
  • 1 egg, beaten (for sealing)

Cooking

  • Oil for frying (about 2-3 inches deep in a pot)

Instructions

  1. Heat the oil: Warm 2 teaspoons of vegetable oil in a large pan over medium-high heat to prepare for cooking the pork.
  2. Cook the pork: Add the ground pork to the pan, season with salt and pepper, and cook while breaking it up with a spatula until browned and fully cooked. Add minced garlic and ginger and sauté for 30 seconds to release their fragrance.
  3. Add vegetables: Stir in the coleslaw mix and sliced green onions, cooking until the cabbage is wilted, about 3-4 minutes, to soften the vegetables.
  4. Season filling: Mix in the soy sauce and toasted sesame oil to infuse the filling with flavor, then remove from heat to cool slightly.
  5. Assemble egg rolls: Spoon 2-3 tablespoons of the filling onto each egg roll wrapper. Fold the wrappers according to package directions, using the beaten egg to seal the edges securely.
  6. Prepare frying oil: Pour 2-3 inches of oil into a deep pot and heat it to 350°F (175°C), ensuring it is hot enough for frying.
  7. Fry egg rolls: Carefully fry 3-4 egg rolls at a time, turning occasionally, until the wrappers are golden brown and crispy, about 3-5 minutes.
  8. Drain and serve: Remove egg rolls from oil, drain on paper towels to remove excess oil, and serve warm with your preferred dipping sauce.

Notes

  • Ensure the oil temperature is maintained at 350°F for even cooking and to prevent sogginess.
  • Do not overcrowd the frying pot to allow proper browning and crispiness.
  • Egg roll wrappers can be found in the refrigerated section of most supermarkets or Asian grocery stores.
  • Frying oil can be reused if strained and stored properly once cooled.
  • Use a slotted spoon or tongs to handle egg rolls during frying safely.
