Delicious Homemade Egg Rolls: A Crispy Treat You Can Make Anytime

👩‍🍳 Instructions:

Step 1: Cook the Filling
In a large skillet, heat sesame oil over medium heat. Add ground meat and cook until no longer pink. Stir in garlic, ginger, cabbage, carrots, and green onions. Sauté until vegetables are tender (about 4-5 minutes). Season with soy sauce, salt, and pepper. Let the filling cool slightly.

Step 2: Roll the Egg Rolls
Place an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface like a diamond (pointed side up). Spoon 2 tablespoons of filling onto the center. Fold the bottom point over the filling, then fold in the sides, and roll tightly. Wet the top corner with a bit of water to seal.

Step 3: Fry to Perfection
Heat oil in a deep skillet or fryer to 350°F (175°C). Fry a few egg rolls at a time until golden brown and crispy, about 3–4 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.

Optional Air Fryer Method:
Brush egg rolls with oil and air fry at 390°F for 10–12 minutes, flipping halfway through.

🍽 Serving Suggestions

Serve your homemade egg rolls with:

• Sweet chili sauce

• Soy sauce with a splash of rice vinegar

• Homemade garlic or hoisin dipping sauce

🧊 Make Ahead Tip

These egg rolls freeze beautifully! Freeze them uncooked on a baking sheet, then transfer to a bag once solid. Fry or air fry straight from frozen—no thawing needed.
