Method
 

Cook the Filling
  1. Heat a tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground pork and sauté for 5-7 minutes until nicely browned.
  2. Transfer the pork to a bowl and set aside.
Sauté Vegetables
  1. In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of oil, garlic, and ginger. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  2. Add the cabbage and carrots, stir-fry for about 5 minutes until tender yet still crisp.
Combine Ingredients
  1. Return the ground pork to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Add green onions, soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil. Stir and cook for 2 more minutes.
Assemble Egg Rolls
  1. Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface, spoon about 2 tablespoons of filling near the bottom point. Fold bottom over filling, then fold in the sides, and roll tightly to seal.
  2. Use a dab of water to seal the edge and repeat until all filling is used.
Fry Egg Rolls
  1. Heat at least 2 inches of oil to 350°F. Add the egg rolls in batches, frying for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden-brown.
Drain and Serve
  1. Use a slotted spoon to remove egg rolls from the oil and place them on paper towels. Serve hot with dipping sauces.
