An egg roll should crackle when you bite it. Not that sad, limp takeout version. This homemade pork egg roll delivers maximum crunch, a juicy savory filling, and that unmistakable fried glory. Worth the oil. Worth the mess. Absolutely worth it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ingredients<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Makes 12 egg rolls.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
12 egg roll wrappers<\/li>\n\n\n\n
1 lb (450g) ground pork<\/li>\n\n\n\n
2 cups shredded green cabbage<\/li>\n\n\n\n
1 carrot, shredded<\/li>\n\n\n\n
2 cloves garlic, minced<\/li>\n\n\n\n
1 tbsp ginger, grated<\/li>\n\n\n\n
2 green onions, chopped<\/li>\n\n\n\n
2 tbsp soy sauce<\/li>\n\n\n\n
1 tbsp oyster sauce (optional)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
1 tsp sesame oil<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Oil for frying (vegetable or canola)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
For Dipping:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n
Sweet chili sauce, duck sauce, or soy + vinegar<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Step-by-Step Instructions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Step 1: Cook Filling<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n
In a skillet, cook ground pork over medium-high heat until browned. Drain excess fat.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Add garlic, ginger, cabbage, and carrot. Cook 2\u20133 minutes until cabbage wilts.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Stir in soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, and green onions. Cook 1 more minute. Cool completely (hot filling steams wrappers).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
Step 2: Assemble<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n
Place an egg roll wrapper like a diamond. Add 3 tablespoons filling in a log across the center.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Fold bottom corner over filling. Fold in sides. Roll tightly. Wet top corner with water to seal.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
Step 3: Fry<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n
Heat 1\u00bd inches of oil to 350\u00b0F (175\u00b0C).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Fry egg rolls 2\u20133 at a time, 2\u20133 minutes per side, until deep golden brown and crispy.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Drain on a wire rack (not paper towels\u2014paper towels make them soggy).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
Step 4: Serve<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n
Serve hot with dipping sauce. Listen to that crunch.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
Summary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Prep Time:<\/strong> 20 min | Cook Time:<\/strong> 15 min | Total:<\/strong> 35 min<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yield:<\/strong> 12 egg rolls | Difficulty:<\/strong> Medium (frying)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Storage Notes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Make ahead:<\/strong> Assemble uncooked egg rolls, freeze on a tray, then bag. Fry from frozen (add 2 minutes). Leftovers:<\/strong> Reheat in air fryer at 375\u00b0F for 5 minutes or oven at 400\u00b0F for 8 minutes. Never microwave (soggy sadness).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
