Crispy Homemade Egg Roll Recipe

Seasoned ground pork is mixed with coleslaw placed in wrappers and wrapped in crispy egg roll wrappers. Add a simple sesame dipping sauce and serve!

Ingredients :

  • 1 pound ground pork
  • 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • ¼ teaspoon Chinese 5 spice optional but recommended
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 2 ½ cups packaged fresh coleslaw (or 2 ½ cups finely chopped cabbage & shredded carrots)
  • 16 egg roll wrappers (6 inch square)
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1 quart canola oil for frying
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • ¼ cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons orange juice
  • 1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lime juice
  • ½ teaspoon toasted sesame seeds (optional)
  • ¼ teaspoon toasted sesame oil

Directions :

  • Cook garlic & chili flakes in oil over medium heat until fragrant. Add remaining ingredients and cook an additional 3 minutes. Remove from heat and refrigerate until serving.
  • Over medium heat, cook pork, ginger, garlic, onion powder, Chinese 5 spice (if using), and soy sauce until no pink remains.
  • Add the coleslaw mix and cook 3 minutes more or just until it starts to soften. Set aside to cool.
  • Preheat oil to 375°F.
  • Combine flour and water in a small bowl.
  • Lay out one egg roll wrapper with a corner pointed toward you. Place ¼ cup of the pork mixture in the center. Use your finger to spread a little bit of the flour mixture along the edge.
  • Fold two of the corners together to make a triangle, fold the sides in and then roll tightly. (Seal the edges with the flour mixture if needed).
  • Fry egg rolls until lightly browned and crispy turning occasionally.
  • Serve with sesame sauce.
