Pork Egg Rolls

Step 1

Shred your cabbage and your carrots. (I use my food processor.)

Step 2

Place ground pork in a Wok and use your spatula to finely Chop into tiny pieces. Cook over medium - high heat until brown (3-4 minutes).

Step 3

Add salt, sesame oil, oyster sauce, and soy sauce to the pork and cook for 1 minute.

Step 4

Add granulated sugar and cook for 1 minute.

Step 5

Add cabbage and carrots and cook for 3-4 minutes. (Until the mixture is reduced by half but not brown) Use tongs to mix all the components together.

Step 6

Turn off the heat, and put the mixture in a strainer to remove excess oils and moisture. Let it strain for 10-15 minutes. (This step will help prevent your egg roll from getting soggy).

Step 7

Open up your egg roll wrappers and seperate.

Step 8

Lay a wrapper on a flat, dry surface. Dip your finger in the water and use it to wet 2 connecting sides of the egg roll that will form an "L".

Step 9

Place about 1/4 cup of your egg roll mixture in the middle of your egg roll length wise parallel between the corner that is completely dry, and the corner that is completely sticky from the water.

Step 10

Take the corner that has no water and fold it over the mixture and tuck it in tight.

Step 11

Grab a corner that is partially dry on 1 side and partially wet on 1 side, and fold it over the end of the roll, sealing it to the center. Repeat this on the other corner.

Step 12

Once the corners are folded over and sealed, grab the middle of the roll and roll it tightly until the wrap is completely surrounding the roll. Make sure the corners are sealed by the water.

Step 13

Place a double layer of papertowel on a plate and set it by the deep fryer. (This will help absorb the excess oil.)

Step 14

Turn the deep fryer on 350-375 degrees. Use vegetable oil or peanut oil to deep fry. Place them in flapside down, and be sure not to overcrowd. Deep fry until golden brown usually 3-4 minutes. You can flip them halfway through to cook the other side or shake the basket lightly to make waves in the bubbles, which allows the oil to cook the top side.

Step 15

Once fried to your liking, allow the rolls to drip the excess oil over the frying oil before taking the tongs and transferring to the plate of papertowel.

Step 16

If you wish to freeze the egg rolls, do so before deep frying. Take the unfried egg rolls and place them on a pan, but don't let them touch. Place in the freezer for an hour to flash freeze. After an hour, pull them out and seal in a freezer ziplock bag or airtight container and use within 2 months. Place them back in the freezer. When you're ready to enjoy them, just pull them directly from the freezer to the deep fryer (no need to thaw). I put my deep fryer at 400°F when cooking from frozen. Let them fry until golden brown.
