Ingredients:
- 1 lb ground sausage
- 2 cups shredded cabbage
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 package (about 20) egg roll wrappers
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- Optional: sweet and sour sauce or soy sauce for dipping
Instructions:
- Cook the sausage: In a large skillet, cook the ground sausage over medium heat until fully browned. Drain any excess grease.
- Add the vegetables: To the cooked sausage, add the shredded cabbage, carrots, and minced garlic. Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened.
- Season the filling: Stir in the soy sauce, sesame oil, ground ginger, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, then remove from heat and let the filling cool slightly.
- Assemble the egg rolls: Place an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface, with one corner pointing toward you (like a diamond shape). Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the sausage mixture onto the center of the wrapper. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides, and roll up tightly. Brush a little water on the top corner to seal the egg roll. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
- Fry the egg rolls: Heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C). Fry the egg rolls in batches, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per batch. Drain on paper towels.
- Serve: Serve the sausage egg rolls hot, with sweet and sour sauce or soy sauce on the side for dipping.
Enjoy your Sausage Egg Rolls as a tasty, crispy treat that’s sure to be a hit with everyone!
