  1. Heat a large pan over medium-high heat and cook the ground pork until browned.
  2. Add garlic, ginger, and coleslaw mix, stirring for 2–3 minutes until softened.
  3. Stir in soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, black pepper, salt, and sugar. Cook for another 1–2 minutes.
  4. Remove from heat and mix in the green onions. Let the filling cool completely.

Step 2: Assemble the Egg Rolls

  1. Lay an egg roll wrapper on a flat surface, with one corner facing you (like a diamond shape).
  2. Place 2 tbsp of the filling near the center of the wrapper.
  3. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides tightly.
  4. Brush the top corner with beaten egg, then roll up tightly to seal.
  5. Repeat with the remaining wrappers.

Step 3: Fry the Egg Rolls

  1. Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Fry in batches, turning occasionally, for 3–5 minutes until golden brown.
  3. Remove and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.

Serving and Storage Tips

Serving Suggestions:

  • Serve hot with sweet and sour sauce, soy sauce, or spicy sriracha mayo.
  • Pair with fried rice, lo mein, or stir-fried vegetables.

Storage & Reheating:

  • Fridge: Store in an airtight container for 3–4 days.
  • Freezer: Freeze uncooked egg rolls for up to 3 months. Fry directly from frozen, adding 1–2 extra minutes.
  • Reheating: Reheat in an air fryer or oven at 375°F (190°C) for 5–7 minutes for crispiness.

Variants & Customization

  • Vegetarian: Use finely diced mushrooms, tofu, and extra cabbage instead of meat.
  • Spicy: Add chopped chili peppers or ½ tsp chili flakes to the filling.
  • Baked Version: Brush egg rolls with oil and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 20 minutes, flipping halfway.
  • Air Fryer: Cook at 375°F (190°C) for 10 minutes, flipping halfway.

FAQ

1. Why are my egg rolls greasy?

Ensure your oil is at the right temperature (350°F/175°C) before frying. Too low, and they absorb oil; too high, and they burn.

2. Can I use spring roll wrappers instead?

Spring roll wrappers are thinner and best for baking or fresh rolls. For frying, egg roll wrappers work better.

3. How do I keep my egg rolls crispy?

Let them cool on a wire rack instead of paper towels to prevent sogginess.

4. Can I make these ahead of time?

Yes! Prep and freeze them, then fry when needed for a quick, fresh snack.
