Preparation Steps
- In a large skillet, heat a drizzle of vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the ground pork, breaking it apart and cooking until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in the diced cabbage, shredded carrots, green onions, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the veggies are tender and vibrant.
- Pour in soy sauce and drizzle sesame oil over the mixture. If desired, sprinkle red pepper flakes for some heat. Cook for another minute, stirring until everything is well combined.
- Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with a corner facing you. Place 2-3 tablespoons of the filling in the center. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides, and roll tightly to seal.
- In a sturdy pot or deep frying pan, heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to ensure the oil is hot enough to fry.
- Carefully drop the prepared egg rolls into the hot oil, a few at a time to avoid overcrowding. Fry for 3-4 minutes, turning occasionally until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Remove the egg rolls using a slotted spoon and drain on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
- Allow them to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your homemade pork egg rolls with your favorite dipping sauce!

Notes
Serve with a tangy sweet and sour sauce for added flavor. Always use fresh wrappers to ensure a crispy texture. Allow the filling to cool before wrapping it.
