Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground pork
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon grated 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
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the ground pork and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon.
- Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet and cook for 1 minute.
- Stir in the shredded cabbage, carrots, and green onions. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are slightly softened.
- Add the soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, and 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 surface with one corner pointing towards you. Spoon about 1/4 cup of the filling onto the center of the wrapper.
- Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides, and roll tightly. Moisten the top corner with water to seal the egg roll. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
- Place the egg rolls on the prepared baking sheet and lightly spray with cooking spray.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the egg rolls are golden and crispy.
- Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving with your favorite dipping sauce. Enjoy!
