Ingredients
- 1 pound ground pork
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger minced or grated
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- ¼ teaspoon salt or to taste
- ¼ teaspoon pepper or to taste
- ¼ teaspoon Chinese 5 spice
- 3 cups coleslaw mix
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce low sodium
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 24 egg roll wrappers mine were small, so there were 24 in a pkg
- 1 egg beaten
- vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- Cook the Pork: Add the ground pork to a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, breaking it up with a spatula as you go along.
- Add Aromatics: Add the ginger, garlic, salt, pepper and Chinese 5 spice to the skillet and stir well. Cook for another minute until the garlic is aromatic.
- Add Ingredients: Add the coleslaw mix, soy sauce, and sesame oil to the skillet and for about 4-5 minutes or until the cabbage is wilted. Remove from heat.
- Prep Oil for Frying: Add about 3 inches of oil in a deep pot and heat to 350 F degrees.
- Assemble Egg Rolls: Meanwhile make the egg rolls. Place an egg roll wrapper on your work surface. Place about 1-2 tbsp of the meat filling on the wrapper. Use the beaten egg to seal the edges of the wrapper. Fold two corners together over the filling, then fold the other sides in and roll tightly.
- Fry: Fry the egg rolls in the heated oil, 4 to 5 egg rolls at a time, until browned on all sides, should take 3 to 5 minutes.
- Finish & Serve: Transfer the fried egg rolls to a paper towel lined plate to drain some of the oil and repeat with remaining egg rolls. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes
- My egg roll wrappers were the smaller ones so I got 24 egg rolls, if you have regular size egg roll wrappers you will get 12 egg rolls, so when you fill them, fill them with 2 to 3 tbsp of the pork filling.
- Leftovers will keep for 2-3 days stored in the fridge in an airtight container.
