Instructions

1. Step 1: Heat 3 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 6 egg rolls and fry for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy, then transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
2. Step 2: In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and add 3 minced garlic cloves, sautéing for 30 seconds until fragrant.
3. Step 3: Stir in 2 tbsp low sodium soy sauce, 1 tbsp honey, and 1 tbsp rice vinegar. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
4. Step 4: Return the fried egg rolls to the skillet and toss gently to coat them evenly in the garlic soy glaze.
5. Step 5: Sprinkle 1 tsp sesame seeds and 2 thinly sliced scallions over the egg rolls before serving warm.
