Cooking Instructions

1. In a skillet over medium heat, cook ground pork or chicken until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Add garlic and ginger, stir in cabbage, carrots, and green onions until just tender.
2. Pour in soy sauce and stir well to ensure flavor. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes. Let it cool slightly.
3. On a flat surface, lay an egg roll wrapper. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the filling onto the center of the wrapper.
4. Fold the bottom corner over filling, fold in the sides, seal tightly, and roll upwards to finish. Wet the top edge to seal.
5. In a deep pan, heat oil over medium-high heat to around 350°F (175°C). Test oil by dropping in a small piece of wrapper.
6. Carefully place rolled egg rolls in batches into hot oil. Fry for about 3-4 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
7. Drain on paper towels and serve with sweet and sour sauce or soy sauce.
