Ingredients
– 8 egg roll wrappers
– 2 cups shredded cabbage
– 1 cup shredded carrots
– 1/2 cup bean sprouts
– 1/2 cup sliced green onions
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 tsp ginger, minced
– 2 tbsp soy sauce
– 1 tbsp oyster sauce (optional)
– 1 tsp sesame oil
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– Oil for frying (vegetable or peanut oil)
Instructions
1. In a large bowl, combine cabbage, carrots, bean sprouts, green onions, garlic, and ginger.
2. Add soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), sesame oil, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until all vegetables are well coated.
3. Lay out an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface. Place about 2 tablespoons of the filling in the center.
4. Fold the bottom corner up over the filling, fold in the sides, and roll tightly. Seal the edge with a little water. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
5. Heat oil in a deep skillet or wok to 350°F (175°C). Fry egg rolls in batches for 3-4 minutes or until they are golden and crisp.
6. Remove from oil and drain on paper towels. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
– For a healthier option, you can bake the egg rolls at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
– Customize the filling by adding shredded chicken, pork, or tofu.
– Adjust the seasonings to taste; a splash of rice vinegar can add a pleasant tang.
