🥢 Easy, Crispy Golden Brown Egg Rolls

🛒 Ingredients (Makes about 10 egg rolls):

• 1 tbsp vegetable oil (plus more for frying)

• 2 cups shredded cabbage

• 1 cup shredded carrots

• ½ cup bean sprouts (optional)

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 tsp grated fresh ginger (or ½ tsp ground ginger)

• 1 tbsp soy sauce

• ½ tsp sesame oil (optional, for extra flavor)

• 1 cup cooked chicken, pork, or shrimp (optional)

• 10 egg roll wrappers

• 1 egg, beaten (for sealing)

🍳 Instructions:

1. Prepare Filling:

   • Heat 1 tbsp oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.

   • Add cabbage, carrots, bean sprouts, garlic, and ginger. Sauté for 3–4 minutes until soft.

   • Stir in soy sauce and sesame oil (and cooked meat if using).

   • Cook for another minute. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

2. Assemble Egg Rolls:

   • Lay a wrapper on a clean surface in a diamond shape.

   • Spoon about 2 tbsp of filling near the bottom corner.

   • Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides.

   • Roll tightly to the top and seal the edge with beaten egg.

3. Fry to Crispy Golden Brown:

   • Heat about 2 inches of oil in a deep pan to 350°F (175°C).

   • Fry egg rolls 3–5 at a time, turning occasionally, until golden brown (about 3–4 minutes).

   • Remove and drain on paper towels.

4. Serve:

   • Serve hot with sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, or duck sauce.

🔥 Tips for Extra Crispiness:

• Don’t overfill the wrappers—this helps them fry evenly and stay sealed.

• Fry in small batches to keep oil temperature steady.

• Use a wire rack instead of paper towels for draining to keep them extra crispy.
