Description

This savory and crispy delicious homemade treat is filled with ground pork and coleslaw. They come together quickly for a fun weeknight meal. Enjoy them with your favorite dipping sauce!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
  • 1 pound ground pork
  • 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
  • 3 cups coleslaw mix
  • ¼ cup green onions, sliced
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • 12 egg roll wrappers
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • Oil for frying, vegetable, canola oil, or peanut oil


Instructions

  1. In a large skillet, heat 2 teaspoons vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the ground pork and brown, breaking it up as it cooks.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Pour frying oil into the bottom of a pot, at least 1 inch high. Heat to 350°F
  6. Fry egg rolls in batches, being sure not to crowd the pot. Cook until browned on all sides, about 4-5 minutes.
  7. Set cooked egg rolls on a paper towel lined plate to drain before serving.

Notes

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.
