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)
Preparation:
Create the ultimate crispy egg rolls with this easy-to-follow recipe! Start by seasoning ground pork or beef with ginger and garlic powder in a large bowl, mixing until thoroughly combined. Cook the meat in a medium skillet over medium heat, stirring until browned and crumbly, about 5 to 7 minutes. In a large bowl, combine the cooked meat with shredded cabbage and carrots, mixing well to create the egg roll filling. Prepare a sealing paste by mixing flour and water in a small bowl. Heat peanut oil in a large skillet to 375°F (190°C). While the oil heats, assemble the egg rolls: Place an egg roll wrapper on a work surface like a diamond, add 1/4 to 1/3 cup of filling to the center, fold the bottom corner over the filling, fold the sides, roll tightly, and seal with the flour paste. Fry the egg rolls in hot oil until golden brown and crispy, about 5 to 8 minutes, turning occasionally. Drain on paper towels or a rack, sprinkle with sesame seeds, and serve hot. Enjoy these homemade egg rolls as a delicious appetizer or snack!
