Ingredients:

• 1 package egg roll wrappers (50 count)
• 1 lb. ground pork
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 inch ginger, grated
• 2 green onions, finely chopped
• 1 cup shredded carrots
• 1 cup shredded cabbage
• 2 tbsp. soy sauce
• 1 tbsp. sesame oil
• Vegetable oil, for frying

Preparation:

1. In a large skillet, brown the ground pork over medium heat.
2. Add the garlic, ginger, green onions, shredded carrots, and shredded cabbage to the skillet. Cook until the vegetables are soft, about 5 minutes.
3. Stir in the soy sauce and sesame oil. Remove from heat and let cool.
4. Lay an egg roll wrapper flat on a clean surface. Place a heaping tablespoon of the pork mixture in the center of the wrapper.
5. Roll the wrapper tightly around the filling, tucking in the sides as you go. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and pork mixture.

Cooking:

1. Heat the vegetable oil in a large saucepan over medium heat.
2. Fry the egg rolls in small batches until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per batch.
3. Remove the egg rolls from the oil with a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Tips and Tricks:

1. To keep the filling inside the egg rolls, make sure to roll the wrapper tightly and tuck in the sides.
2. For a crispy texture, lightly brush the egg rolls with egg wash before frying.
3. You can also bake the egg rolls in the oven for a healthier alternative to frying. Bake at 400°F for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.

Variants:

1. For a vegetarian option, replace the ground pork with finely chopped mushrooms.
2. Add diced chicken or shrimp to the pork mixture for a chicken or shrimp egg roll.
