Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat and sauté minced garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  2. Add ground beef or chicken, cooking while breaking it apart until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat.
  3. Stir in cabbage, carrots, and green onions; cook for 2-3 minutes until soft.
  4. Add soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, ground ginger, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat and cool the filling.
  5. Position an egg roll wrapper in a diamond shape. Spoon 2-3 tablespoons of filling onto the lower third.
  6. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides and roll tightly, sealing the top with water.
  7. If frying, heat vegetable oil in a deep pot to 350°F. Fry egg rolls in batches for 3-4 minutes until golden brown.
  8. For baking, preheat oven to 400°F, arrange egg rolls on a baking sheet, brush with oil and bake for 15-20 minutes.
