Make crispy, flavorful egg rolls at home using this recipe, which includes instructions for deep frying, baking, or air frying.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 egg roll wrappers
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 pound ground pork
  • 2 cups shredded cabbage
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 4 ounces mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon white pepper
  • Vegetable oil for frying (if deep frying)

Instructions

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the ground pork and cook, breaking it up, until browned. Drain off excess fat.
  3. Add the cabbage, carrots, mushrooms, green onions, garlic, and ginger to the skillet. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp.
  4. Stir in the soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, and white pepper. Cook for 1 minute more. Remove from heat and let the filling cool completely.
  5. Place about 1/3 cup of the cooled filling near one edge of an egg roll wrapper.
  6. Fold the bottom edge up over the filling. Fold in the sides. Moisten the top edge of the wrapper with water and roll tightly away from you to seal. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
  7. To Fry: Heat 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep pot to 350 degrees F. Fry egg rolls in batches for 3 to 5 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crisp. Drain on paper towels.
  8. To Bake: Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly brush the assembled egg rolls with oil. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, turning halfway, until golden brown.
  9. To Air Fry: Preheat air fryer to 375 degrees F. Lightly spray egg rolls with cooking spray. Air fry for 8 to 10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crisp.

Notes

  • For a vegetarian filling, substitute the ground pork with crumbled firm tofu or extra mushrooms and shredded cabbage.
  • If you prefer a lower-carb option, use lettuce wraps instead of traditional egg roll wrappers.
  • Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, such as sweet and sour sauce or soy sauce mixed with vinegar.
