Easy Chinese Egg Rolls Crispy, Flavorful, and Surprisingly Simple

 


Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Cook the Filling
Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add ground meat and cook until browned. Stir in garlic, cabbage, carrots, soy sauce, sesame oil, and ginger. Cook for 3–4 minutes until vegetables soften. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Step 2: Assemble the Egg Rolls
Place an egg roll wrapper on a flat surface with one corner facing you. Spoon 2–3 tablespoons of filling near the center. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, tuck in the sides, and roll tightly. Seal the edge with a little water.

Step 3: Heat the Oil
Heat oil in a deep pan to 350°F (175°C).

Step 4: Fry Until Crispy
Fry egg rolls in batches for 3–4 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Step 5: Serve & Enjoy
Serve hot with sweet and sour sauce, duck sauce, or soy sauce.
