Ingredients
- 8 oz ground pork
- 1 cup finely shredded cabbage
- 1 medium grated carrot
- 2 thinly sliced green onions
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 2 minced garlic cloves
- 8 sheets egg roll wrappers
- for frying, about 3 cups vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup hoisin sauce
- 1 tbsp sriracha
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp water
Instructions
- Step 1: In a large skillet, heat 1 tsp sesame oil over medium-high heat. Add 8 oz ground pork and 2 minced garlic cloves, cooking for 4-5 minutes until pork is browned and cooked through.
- Step 2: Stir in 1 cup finely shredded cabbage, 1 grated medium carrot, 2 thinly sliced green onions, and 2 tbsp soy sauce. Cook for 3-4 minutes until vegetables soften but still retain some crunch. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Step 3: Lay out 8 egg roll wrappers on a clean surface. Place 2-3 tbsp of the pork-vegetable filling near one corner of each wrapper. Fold the corner over the filling, tuck in the sides, and roll tightly, sealing the edge with a little water.
- Step 4: In a deep skillet or pot, heat about 3 cups vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Fry egg rolls in batches for 3-4 minutes each until golden brown and crispy, turning occasionally.
- Step 5: Drain fried egg rolls on paper towels.
- Step 6: For the dipping sauce, whisk together 1/4 cup hoisin sauce, 1 tbsp sriracha, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, and 1 tbsp water until smooth.
- Step 7: Serve hot egg rolls with the spicy hoisin dipping sauce on the side.
