Ingredients:

For the Filling:

• 1 pound ground beef (or chicken, shrimp, or a combination of vegetables)
  
  

• 1 cup finely shredded cabbage
  
  

• ½ cup shredded carrots
  
  

• ¼ cup chopped green onions
  
  

• 2 cloves garlic, minced
  
  

• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  
  

• 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  
  

• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  
  

• ½ teaspoon ground ginger
  
  

• Salt and pepper to taste

For the Egg Rolls:

• 10–12 egg roll wrappers
  
  

• Water (for sealing)
  
  

• Oil for frying (vegetable or canola oil works best)

Directions:

1. Prepare the Filling:
   Heat a small amount of oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add the ground beef (or chosen protein) to the skillet. Cook, breaking it up into small crumbles, until browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess fat. Stir in the shredded cabbage, carrots, and chopped green onions. Cook for 2–3 minutes until the vegetables are slightly softened. Season with soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, ground ginger, salt, and pepper. Mix well and cook for another minute. Remove from heat and let the filling cool to room temperature.
   
   

2. Assemble the Egg Rolls:
   Place an egg roll wrapper on a clean, flat surface with one corner pointing towards you. Spoon about 2–3 tablespoons of the cooled filling onto the center of the wrapper. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the side corners. Roll up tightly, sealing the top corner with a little water to secure the edge. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
   
   

3. Fry the Egg Rolls:
   Heat oil in a deep frying pan or wok to 350°F (175°C). Carefully place the egg rolls seam-side down into the hot oil. Fry in batches, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy, about 3–4 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.
   
   

4. Serve:
   Serve the egg rolls hot with your choice of dipping sauces, such as sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, or duck sauce.
