Did you know that you can make your own egg rolls at home with ease?! I make my pork egg rolls with ginger, garlic, cabbage and carrots. These are unbelievably delicious, aromatic and packed with so much incredible flavor! They’re so simple to make at home and you can make extra to freeze and enjoy later!

How to Make Pork Egg Rolls

Here’s how to make these delicious egg rolls! You can have them ready in no time!

  1. Preheat a large sauté pan with a tablespoon of oil – add the diced onion, mushrooms, pepper and shredded carrot. Sauté the mixture for 3 to 4 minutes until translucent.
  2. Add the mixture to a large bowl with cabbage, ground meat and seasonings: soy sauce, fish sauce, sesame seed oil, ginger, garlic, salt and pepper. Use a spoon to toss all the ingredient together until a uniform mixture forms.
  3. Preheat a few cups of cooking oil, such as canola oil, in deep saucepan to medium heat to 300F. You’ll need about 1-inch of oil
  4. To make eggrolls, simply place 1/4 cup mixture into center of an egg roll wrapper and moisten edges with water. Turn the wrapper side ways so it’s diamond-shaped, turn the sides over the filling first, then tightly roll into a log.
  5. Deep fry the egg rolls in batches, seam side down first, for 3 to 4 minutes until the rolls are golden brown all over. If the eggrolls darken too quickly, turn heat down.

Serving the Egg Rolls

Having a great sauce to go along with these pork egg rolls is a must! I love to enjoy these with a sweet chili sauce, teriyaki sauce or even plain soy sauce. You can even enjoy these with a peanut dipping sauce!

My Favorite Chinese Appetizer!

If my husband and I are doing Chinese takeout, we always get egg rolls. They’re the perfect appetizer to enjoy with all the other (usually unhealthy!) Chinese dishes. We usually do Chinese takeout when I’m way too tired to move and make dinner, especially after a long day of blogging and filming. We have our favorite little spot where we always order from, but I always like my egg rolls the best. There’s something special about putting these together with fresh ingredients that makes them taste amazing!
