🥬 Ingredients for Appetizer Egg Rolls

  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil (plus more for frying)
  • 1 cup shredded green cabbage
  • 1/2 cup shredded carrots
  • 1/2 cup bean sprouts (optional)
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 garlic clove, minced

👩‍🍳 How to Make Appetizer Egg Rolls – Step-by-Step

Step 1: Sauté the Filling

Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and ginger, cook for 30 seconds. Add meat (if using) and cook until browned. Stir in cabbage, carrots, and bean sprouts. Cook 3–5 minutes until softened. Add soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and pepper. Let cool.

Step 2: Assemble the Rolls

Place a wrapper on a flat surface with one corner pointing at you (diamond shape). Add 2 tablespoons of filling near the center. Fold the bottom corner up over the filling, then fold in the sides. Roll tightly and seal the top corner with beaten egg.

Step 3: Fry Until Golden

Heat 2–3 inches of oil in a deep pan to 350°F (175°C). Fry egg rolls in batches, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy (about 3–4 minutes). Drain on paper towels.

Step 4: Serve Warm

Serve immediately with dipping sauces like sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, or garlic aioli.
