Instructions

  1. In a large skillet or wok, heat a tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Add the shredded cabbage, carrots, and bean sprouts to the skillet. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
  4. If using, add the cooked and shredded chicken or pork to the skillet and mix well.
  5. Stir in the soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), sesame oil, and chopped green onions. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  7. Lay out an egg roll wrapper in a diamond shape, with one corner pointing towards you.
  8. Place about 2-3 tablespoons of the filling in the center of the wrapper.
  9. Fold the bottom corner of the wrapper over the filling, then fold in the left and right corners.
  10. Roll the wrapper tightly towards the top corner, sealing the edge with a bit of water.
  11. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
  12. In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
  13. Carefully place a few egg rolls into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pan.
  14. Fry the egg rolls for about 3-4 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy.
  15. Remove the egg rolls from the oil and drain on paper towels.
  16. Repeat with the remaining egg rolls.
  17. Serve the fried egg rolls hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as sweet and sour sauce, soy sauce, or chili sauce.
