Ingredients
12 egg roll wrappers
2 cups shredded cabbage
1 cup shredded carrots
1 cup bean sprouts
1 red bell pepper, finely chopped
3 green onions, sliced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon sesame oil
2 tablespoons cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water (for sealing)
Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
1. In a large skillet or wok over medium heat, heat sesame oil. Sauté garlic, ginger, and green onions for about a minute until fragrant.
2. Add cabbage, carrots, bell pepper, and bean sprouts. Stir-fry for 3–4 minutes until just tender. Add soy sauce and mix well. Let filling cool.
3. Lay an egg roll wrapper on a flat surface like a diamond. Spoon 2 tablespoons of the filling near the bottom. Fold the bottom over the filling, fold in the sides, and roll tightly. Seal edge with cornstarch slurry.
4. Heat oil to 350°F (175°C). Fry egg rolls in batches, turning, until golden brown (3–5 minutes). Drain on paper towels.
5. Serve hot with sweet chili sauce or dipping sauce of your choice.
Notes
Be sure to let the filling cool completely before wrapping to avoid soggy rolls.
Don’t overcrowd the fryer or skillet; fry in batches for even cooking.
To make them ahead, freeze the assembled, uncooked rolls and fry from frozen when ready.
