Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • 2 cups cabbage, finely shredded
  • 1 cup carrots, julienned
  • 1/2 cup green onions, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 12 egg roll wrappers
  • 1 egg, beaten (for sealing)
  • Vegetable oil for frying

Instructions

  1. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground chicken until no longer pink. Drain excess fat.
  2. Stir in garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger, salt, and pepper. Cook for 1 minute.
  3. Add cabbage, carrots, and green onions. Cook for 3–4 minutes until veggies soften slightly but remain crisp. Remove from heat and cool.
  4. Lay an egg roll wrapper on a flat surface with one corner facing you like a diamond. Place 2–3 tablespoons of filling in the center.
  5. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, fold in the sides, and roll tightly. Brush the top corner with beaten egg to seal.
  6. Heat 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pot to 350°F (175°C). Fry egg rolls in batches for 3–4 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
  7. Drain on paper towels and serve hot with sweet and sour sauce or soy dipping sauce.
  8. For a lighter version, brush egg rolls with oil and bake at 425°F (220°C) for 15–18 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crisp.
