- In a large skillet, cook 1/2 pound of ground pork over medium heat until no longer pink. Drain and set aside.
- In the same skillet, sauté 2 cups of shredded cabbage, 1/2 cup of shredded carrots, 1/4 cup of chopped green onions, and 2 cloves of minced garlic until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
- Stir in the cooked ground pork, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of sesame oil, 1/2 teaspoon of ground ginger, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.

The history of egg rolls dates back to ancient China, where they were originally known as "spring rolls." These delectable treats were traditionally filled with shredded cabbage, along with other vegetables and sometimes meat, and then wrapped in a thin dough before being deep-fried to crispy perfection. The addition of shredded cabbage provides an extra layer of crunch and texture to the filling, making it a popular choice for many egg roll enthusiasts. In modern times, egg rolls have become a staple in Chinese cuisine and have also gained popularity in other parts of the world. Many chefs and restaurants have put their own unique spin on the classic egg roll recipe, incorporating various ingredients and flavors to cater to different palates. One famous alternative method for making egg rolls is to use a rice paper wrapper instead of the traditional dough, creating a lighter and gluten-free version of the dish. Today, the best versions of egg rolls can be found in authentic Chinese restaurants that take pride in using fresh, high-quality ingredients and mastering the art of deep-frying to achieve the perfect crispy texture. The key to a great egg roll lies in the balance of flavors and textures, with the shredded cabbage adding a delightful crunch to every bite.
