Scale

- 2 teaspoons of fresh ginger, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- ½ a bunch of green onion, sliced thinly

- 1 pound ground pork hot
- 14 Oz ( 1 can) bean sprouts, drained
- ½ head of cabbage, finally chopped
- 18 Oz egg wrappers
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoon water
- 1 quart peanut oil for frying
Instructions
- In a medium frying pan cook the pork, ginger, and garlic until pork is cooked through and no longer pink. Drain any grease. Set aside.
- Heat up your oil for frying in a deep fryer and follow the manufacturer’s instructions for how much oil to add. We used peanut oil for this recipe. Make sure you don’t fill it to the top so you don’t get hurt.
- In a small bowl combine the water and flour to make a paste. This will be used to seal the egg rolls.
- In a separate bowl combine the pork mixture that was set aside with the chestnuts, shredded carrots, salt, soy sauce, green onions, bean sprouts, and shredded cabbage. Mix till well combined.
- Next is making the egg rolls. Wrap the egg roll as shown on the package. Use 2-3 tablespoon of egg roll mixture and seal with water and flour paste. Use your finger to dip in the water and flour paste mixture to seal the egg rolls. Repeat till you use up all the egg wrappers.
- After wrapping the eggrolls. It is time to cook them in the deep fryer. Place the egg rolls carefully into the oil about 2-3 at a time. Egg rolls should be blonde in color. Take them out and drain on paper towels. Repeat this till all the egg rolls are cooked. Serve with sweet and sour sauce.
Notes
- You can freeze the uncooked egg rolls for up to three months.
