Ingredients
Scale

- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 package egg roll wrappers
- Oil for frying (vegetable or canola oil recommended)
Instructions
- In a large skillet, brown the ground pork over medium heat until fully cooked, breaking it up into small pieces.
- Add garlic and ginger to the skillet, cooking for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Stir in the shredded cabbage and carrots, cooking for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
- Add soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil to the mixture, stirring to combine. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, then remove from heat and let cool.
- Place a spoonful of the pork mixture onto the center of each egg roll wrapper. Fold the wrapper according to the package instructions, sealing the edges with a little water.

Notes
- For extra crispiness, you can double fry the egg rolls by frying once, letting them cool, and then frying them again for 1-2 minutes.
- These egg rolls can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator. Reheat them in a hot oven or fryer to retain their crispiness.
- Serve with sweet and sour sauce or soy sauce for dipping.
