An Egg roll is composed of meat and shredded vegetables wrapped in a wheat-based wrapper and deep fried until crispy. This deliciously appetizer is a close relative of the spring roll. Egg rolls can be identified easily based on its size and wrapper. As you will notice – after doing this egg roll recipe – that the size is larger and the wrapper is thicker. You will also notice that the skin produces bubble-like texture after frying. I personally consider this as a cross between Filipino lumpia and lumpiang gulay.
There are many ways to make egg rolls. Some recipes ask for ground pork or chicken, while others require sliced pork. There are also different variations of ingredients. For example, some recipes make use of soaked vermicelli noodles and other types of vegetables. Whatever the recipe requires, it is important for you to understand that the success of this dish depends on the texture and the sauce. The texture should be crisp while the sauce must compliment the dish.
Aside from being an appetizer, egg rolls make a good main dish. I personally like to eat them with Yang Chow Fried Rice. As for the dipping sauce, sweet and sour sauce is my number one choice. You may also use duck sauce depending on your preference.

Egg Roll
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground pork
- 1 pack egg roll wrappers
- 1 teaspoon ginger minced
- 1 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 3 cups cooking oil for deep frying
- 1 tablespoon cooking oil
- 1 piece raw egg beaten
- 2 cups cabbage shredded
- 3/4 cups carrots shredded
- 2 teaspoons light soy sauce
Instructions
- Heat 1 tablespoon of cooking oil in a pan.

- Deep fry the egg rolls in medium heat until the color turns golden brown.
