Crispy Golden Brown Egg Rolls filled with savory ground beef and fresh vegetables, perfectly fried to a crunchy finish. These classic egg rolls are easy to make and great as an appetizer or snack, served with your choice of dipping sauces.

Ingredients

Scale

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)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Filling: In a large skillet, heat a small amount of oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant. Add the ground beef (or your choice of protein) and cook until browned and fully cooked, breaking it into small crumbles. Drain any excess fat. Stir in the shredded cabbage, carrots, and green onions, cooking for another 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are slightly softened but still crisp. Season with soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, ground ginger, salt, and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and allow the mixture to cool to room temperature before assembling.
  2. Assemble the Egg Rolls: Place an egg roll wrapper on a flat surface with one corner facing you in a diamond shape. Spoon about 2-3 tablespoons of the cooled filling into the center. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold the two side corners inward. Roll tightly towards the top corner, sealing it with a bit of water to keep it closed. Repeat this with all wrappers and filling.
  3. Fry the Egg Rolls: In a large pot or deep skillet, heat about 2 inches of vegetable or canola oil over medium-high heat. Test the oil temperature by dropping a small piece of wrapper in; it should sizzle immediately. Carefully lower a few egg rolls into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for 3-4 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy on all sides. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
  4. Serve: Serve the hot, crispy egg rolls immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, such as sweet and sour, soy, or spicy chili sauce, for added flavor.

Notes

  • Ensure filling is cooled before assembling to prevent wrappers from becoming soggy.
  • Do not overcrowd the frying pan to maintain oil temperature and ensure crispy egg rolls.
  • You can substitute ground beef with chicken, shrimp, or vegetables as desired.
  • Use fresh cabbage and carrots finely shredded for the best texture.
  • Adjust seasoning with soy sauce and oyster sauce according to taste preferences.
  • Leftover egg rolls can be reheated in the oven to maintain crispiness.
