When we go to dinner, egg rolls are one of my favorite things to order! I had no idea they were so easy to make at home!
Ingredients
▢1 pound of ground pork
▢1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
▢1 minced garlic clove
▢1 teaspoon of onion powder
▢1/4 teaspoon of 5 Chinese spices (optional)
▢1 tablespoon of soy sauce
▢2 1/2 cups packaged fresh coleslaw (or 2 1/2 cups cabbage and finely chopped carrots)
▢12 Egg Roll Wraps (6 square inches)
▢2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour
▢2 tablespoons of water
▢1 quart canola frying oil
Sesame sauce
▢2 teaspoons of olive oil
▢1 garlic clove
▢1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
▢1 teaspoon fresh chopped ginger root
▢1/4 cup soy sauce
▢1/4 cup of honey
▢2 tablespoons of orange juice
▢1/4 teaspoon sesame oil
▢1 teaspoon fresh lime juice
▢1/2 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
Sesame sauce
Cook the garlic and chili flakes over medium heat until fragrant. Add the rest of the ingredients and cook for 3 more minutes. Remove from heat and refrigerate until served.
Egg rolls
Over medium heat, cook pork, ginger, garlic, onion powder, the 5 Chinese spices (if you use them) and soy sauce until no pink remains. Set aside.
Preheat oil to 375 degrees F.
Mix flour and water in a small bowl.
Place an egg roll wrapper with one corner pointing towards you. Place 2 tablespoons of the meat and 2 tablespoons of the coleslaw mixture in the center. Use your finger to spread some of the flour mixture along the edge.
Fold two of the corners to form a triangle, fold the sides inward and then roll up tightly. (Seal the edges with the flour mixture).
Fry egg rolls until lightly browned and crisp, turning occasionally.
Serve with sesame sauce.
