Ingredients

vegetable oil
ground pork
garlic
ginger
coleslaw mix
green onions
salt
soy sauce
toasted sesame oil
egg roll wrappers
egg
Oil for frying

Steps by steps

In a large skillet, heat 2 teaspoons vegetable oil over a medium-high heat. Add the ground pork and brown, breaking it up as it cooks.
Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Stir in the coleslaw mix and green onions. Cook for 3-4 minutes or until the cabbage is wilted, stirring often. Stir in the salt, sesame oil, and soy sauce. Remove from the heat.
Place egg roll wrapper on a flat surface in a diamond formation. Keep remaining wrappers covered with a damp paper towel to avoid them drying out.
Spoon 3 tablespoons of the filling mixture onto each egg roll wrapper. Fold the bottom corner of the wrapper over the filling and tuck in and roll. Fold the sides in and roll again. Brush the end flap with the beaten egg to seal. Repeat with the remaining egg rolls, keeping the wrapped egg rolls covered with plastic wrap while you are working to avoid drying them out.
Pour frying oil into the bottom of a pot, at least 1 inch high. Heat to 350°F
Fry egg rolls in batches, being sure not to crowd the pot. Cook until browned on all sides, about 4-5 minutes.
Set cooked egg rolls on a paper towel lined plate to drain before serving.

Tips for Best Results

Avoid overfilling the wrapper, as this can make it difficult to roll and may cause the egg rolls to burst during frying.
Opt for egg roll wrappers that are specifically designed for making egg rolls. They are thicker and sturdier than spring roll wrappers, which helps prevent tearing during frying. Wonton wrappers can also be used.
Properly seal the egg rolls. Ensure that you seal the edges of the egg rolls tightly to prevent any filling from leaking out during frying. You can use a mixture of cornstarch and water or beaten egg as a glue to seal the edges effectively if you find your wrappers won’t stick.

Serving suggestions

Pair these delectable egg rolls with your favorite dipping sauce for an extra burst of flavor. Whether you prefer sweet and sour sauce or spicy mustard, the choice is yours. Serve alongside garlic rice, roasted vegetables, or Korean rice bowls for a balanced and satisfying meal.

Variations

While this recipe is delicious as is, feel free to get creative and experiment with different fillings to suit your taste preferences.

Consider adding shrimp, ground beef, ground chicken, or tofu for a protein-packed alternative. You can also incorporate additional vegetables such as mushrooms, bell peppers, or bean sprouts for added crunch and freshness.

Storage

If you have leftovers store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

To reheat, simply pop them in the oven or air fryer until heated through and crispy again.

For longer storage, freeze the egg rolls on a baking sheet until solid, then transfer to a freezer bag. They can be frozen for up to 2 months.
