How to Make Best Pork And Or Shrimp Egg Rolls

  1. In a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat, stir-fry ground ginger, chopped onion, and celery for 1 minute.
  2. Add shredded cabbage and bean sprouts; stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, until slightly softened.
  3. Add pork and/or shrimp; stir-fry for 1 minute more.
  4. Pour in chicken stock and sugar. Bring to a boil. In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and 2 tablespoons of cold water to create a slurry.
  5. Gradually whisk in the cornstarch slurry, stirring constantly until the mixture lightly thickens.
  6. Remove from heat. Stir in sesame oil, salt, and pepper to taste.
  7. In a separate small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon cornstarch and 1 tablespoon cold water to make a paste for sealing the egg roll wrappers.
  8. Lay out egg roll wrappers on a dampened surface to prevent them from drying out.
  9. Place a spoonful of filling diagonally across one corner of each wrapper.
  10. Brush the edges of the wrapper with the cornstarch paste.
  11. Fold in the side corners, then tightly roll up from the bottom to form a sealed cylinder.
  12. Heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C) in a large pot or deep fryer.
  13. Fry egg rolls in batches for 4-5 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy.
  14. Remove from oil and place on a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
