Homemade Egg Rolls
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground pork
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon minced ginger
- 1 cup shredded cabbage
- 1/2 cup shredded carrots
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 12 egg roll wrappers
- 2 cups vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
- Add 1 pound of ground pork, 1 teaspoon of minced garlic, and 1 teaspoon of minced ginger to the skillet. Cook until the pork is no longer pink, breaking it into small pieces with a spatula.
- Stir in 1 cup of shredded cabbage, 1/2 cup of shredded carrots, and 1/4 cup of chopped green onions. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are slightly softened.
- Add 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of oyster sauce, 1 teaspoon of sesame oil, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper to the skillet. Stir to combine and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Remove from heat and let the filling cool slightly.
- Place an egg roll wrapper on a clean, dry surface with one corner pointing towards you. Spoon about 2-3 tablespoons of the pork and vegetable filling onto the center of the wrapper.
- Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the side corners. Roll the wrapper tightly, sealing the top corner with a dab of water. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
- In a large, deep skillet, heat 2 cups of vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C) over medium-high heat. Carefully add the egg rolls in batches and fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per batch.
- Remove the egg rolls with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy!
Egg rolls have a rich history, originating in China and later becoming a staple in American Chinese cuisine. These delectable treats are believed to have been created during the Han Dynasty in China, where they were initially made with a thin pancake filled with meat and vegetables. As Chinese immigrants brought their culinary traditions to the United States, egg rolls evolved to include a wider variety of fillings and were deep-fried to crispy perfection. Today, they are a beloved appetizer or snack, often served in Chinese restaurants across the globe. In the United States, renowned chefs and restaurants have put their own spin on this classic dish, incorporating unique ingredients and flavors. For the best egg rolls, look for a restaurant with a reputation for expertly crafted, crispy and flavorful egg rolls. The key to a perfect egg roll lies in the balance of the filling, which typically includes shredded cabbage, carrots, and savory meats, all wrapped in a delicate, crispy shell. Some variations may include shrimp, chicken, or tofu for a delightful twist. Whether enjoyed as an appetizer or part of a larger meal, egg rolls continue to be a beloved dish that brings joy to countless food enthusiasts.
