Ingredients
  

For the Filling
  • 1 lb Ground Beef or substitute with ground chicken, shrimp, or tofu
  • 2 cups Shredded Cabbage or replace with shredded kale or coleslaw mix
  • 1 cup Shredded Carrots or substitute with grated zucchini or bell peppers
  • 1/4 cup Chopped Green Onions or replace with chives or shallots
  • 2 cloves Garlic or use garlic powder as a substitute
  • 3 tbsp Soy Sauce or use tamari for a gluten-free version
  • 2 tbsp Oyster Sauce or substitute with hoisin sauce for a vegetarian option
  • 1 tbsp Sesame Oil or can be replaced with olive oil or omitted
  • 1 tbsp Ground Ginger or use fresh ginger instead
For Assembly
  • 12 pieces Egg Roll Wrappers store-bought or homemade
  • 1/4 cup Water for sealing the wrappers
For Frying
  • 2 cups Vegetable or Canola Oil or use peanut oil for flavor

Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • deep pot
  • slotted spoon

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add a splash of oil. Sauté minced garlic until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add ground beef and cook until browned for 5-7 minutes, breaking apart with a spatula. Drain excess fat, then stir in cabbage, carrots, and green onions. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until slightly softened. Season with soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, ginger, salt, and pepper. Allow filling to cool to room temperature.
  2. Take an egg roll wrapper in a diamond shape with a corner facing you. Spoon 2-3 tablespoons of cooled filling onto the center. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the side corners snugly. Roll tightly upwards, sealing with a little water. Repeat until all egg rolls are ready.
  3. Heat about 2 inches of oil in a deep pot to 350°F (175°C). Test oil with a small piece of wrapper; it should sizzle. Carefully lower egg rolls using a slotted spoon and fry for 3-4 minutes or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
  4. Serve hot with dipping sauces like sweet and sour, soy sauce, or chili sauce. Enjoy fresh for best texture and flavor.
