Easy Egg Rolls

 

I like to buy pork egg rolls from the Schwan's  man. They are an easy dinner for a busy day. Recently I got the urge to make my own. They are fairly simple to make and you end up with enough to feed a large family or have plenty of leftovers. 

I used the recipe from the back of the wonton wrappers as a guide. You will need:

1 pound ground pork (or desired meat)

3 cups finely shredded or chopped cabbage

One medium sized carrot,shredded-about 1/4 Cup

3-4 Green onions, finely chopped

A large handful of bean sprouts

Soy sauce, salt, pepper

Package of 20 wonton wrappers

Vegetable oil for frying

Step 1: Prepare vegetables, put in large bowl.

   

Step 2: Lightly brown pork about 4 minutes over high heat, breaking up large pieces. Season with salt, pepper and a bit of garlic salt.

 

Step 3: Add veggies to pan...

 

...cook until wilted and clear, about 4 minutes. Add about 1/2 Tbsp. soy sauce to mixture while cooking if desired. Stir frequently so pork doesn't burn.

 

Step 4: Remove from pan and allow mixture to cool about 10 minutes. (This is when I get my rice on the stove).

Step 5: Wrap 'em up! 

I put about 1/4 cup filling in each wrapper.

 

 

Use a bit of water to seal edges.

 

I place egg rolls on foil lined pan with a  foil/paper towel lining underneath. This way I lift the top layer of foil as I cook, placing fried egg rolls on paper towel lined foil beneath. (See picture below).

Step 6: Heat about 2 inches oil in large sided pan to 350 degrees and fry in batches for about 2 minutes each, turning as needed.

 

 

Step 7: Serve over rice with sweet and sour or desired dipping sauce on the side. Yummy!
