How to Make Easy Egg Rolls

  1. In a large bowl, combine 1 lb ground beef, 1/2 cup shredded cabbage, 1/4 cup shredded carrots, 1/4 cup chopped green onions, 2 cloves minced garlic, and 1/4 cup soy sauce.
  2. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined.
  3. Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean work surface with one corner pointing towards you.
  4. Place a heaping tablespoon of the beef mixture in the center of the wrapper.
  5. Fold the bottom third of the wrapper over the filling.
  6. Fold in the side corners.
  7. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour and enough water to create a smooth paste.
  8. Brush the top corner of the wrapper with the flour paste, then tightly roll up to seal the egg roll.
  9. Repeat steps 3-8 with the remaining wrappers and filling.
  10. **For Frying:** Heat 1 inch of vegetable oil in an electric skillet or large pot to 375°F (190°C). Carefully add egg rolls and fry for 3-5 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy.
  11. **For Baking:** Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Brush egg rolls lightly with vegetable oil. Bake for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
  12. Serve immediately. Leftovers can be reheated in the microwave for 2 1/2 to 3 minutes.
