Approximately twelve egg rolls may be made.
Twelve egg roll wrappers are required.
- 1 pound of pork, ground
Shredded cabbage (2 cups) and carrots (1 cup)
- 2 chopped garlic cloves - 4 finely sliced scallions
These ingredients call for finely grated ginger and two teaspoons of soy sauce.
- Hoison, measuring one spoonful
- 1/4 teaspoon of white pepper - 1 teaspoon of sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons of water - 1 tablespoon of cornstarch
- Fry foods using vegetable oil
What to do:
To start, put a big skillet or wok on medium-high heat. Once the pork is no longer pink, add the ground pork and break it up with a spoon as it cooks.
Shredded cabbage, carrots, scallions, garlic, and ginger should be added to the browned pork. Cook, stirring occasionally, for three to four minutes, or until the veggies are tender.
Step 3: Add the white pepper, sesame oil, oyster sauce, and soy sauce. After 2 more minutes of cooking, stir to ensure that everything is uniformly coated. After that, take the filling off the stove and let it cool for a little.
Pour the cornstarch and water into a small bowl and stir until a slurry forms. This is what the egg roll packaging needs to stay closed.
5. On a flat surface, point one corner of an egg roll wrapper towards yourself. About two or three teaspoons of filling should be placed in the middle of the wrapper. Tightly roll up, tuck in the sides, and fold the corner that is nearest to you over the filling. Apply just enough cornstarch slurry to seal the last corner.
6. Bring a big, heavy-bottomed pan or a deep fryer to 350°F (175°C) with the oil. Without crowding the pan, fry the egg rolls in batches for two or three minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crisp. Place the drained drain on a paper towel.

Step 7: Enjoy when hot with a dipping sauce of your choice.
Tips and Variations: - To make it vegetarian, you may swap out the pork for tofu or add shiitake mushrooms and extra veggies.
- A For a more nuanced flavor, mix in a pinch of Chinese five-spice powder with the filling.
- A You have the option to bake these egg rolls instead of deep-frying them. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Brush with a thin layer of oil. Bake, rotating once halfway through, until golden brown.
- A To avoid soggy wrappers, make sure the filling is not excessively moist. To make it thicker before rolling, add additional cornstarch if it appears too wet.
- A Mastering the rolling technique may take some practice, but the crisp bite you get is well worth the effort.
