Best Egg Rolls - Don't Lose This Recipe

Ingredients:

1 pound ground pork or beef

1 teaspoon ground ginger (or more to taste)

1 teaspoon garlic powder (or more to taste)

2 cups shredded cabbage

2 ounces shredded carrots

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

2 tablespoons water

1 quart peanut oil (for frying, or as needed)

8 (7-inch square) egg roll wrappers

2 tablespoons sesame seeds (optional)

Directions:

Season and Cook Pork:

In a large bowl, season the pork with ground ginger and garlic powder. Mix thoroughly.

Place the seasoned pork in a medium skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir until the pork is browned and crumbly, about 5-7 minutes.

Prepare Filling:

Combine the cooked pork, shredded cabbage, and shredded carrots in a large bowl. Mix until well combined.

Make Flour Paste:

In a small bowl, mix the flour and water together until a paste forms.

Heat Oil:

Heat the peanut oil in a large skillet to about 375°F (190°C) or medium-high heat.

Prepare Egg Rolls:

While the oil is heating, lay one egg roll wrapper on a work surface with one corner pointed toward you like a diamond.

Place about 1/4 to 1/3 cup of the filling in the center of the wrapper.

Fold the bottom corner up and over the filling. Fold the left and right corners in toward the center. Push the egg roll away from you and roll toward the top corner.

Brush a bit of the flour paste over the inside of the top corner to help seal the egg roll.

Fry Egg Rolls:

Fry the egg rolls in the hot oil, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy, about 5-8 minutes.

Remove from the oil and drain on paper towels or a rack.

Serve:

Place the egg rolls on a serving plate and sprinkle sesame seeds over the top (optional). Enjoy!

Enjoy your homemade egg rolls!
