Best Egg Rolls

Ingredients


1 pound ground pork or beef
1 teaspoon ground ginger, or more to taste
1 teaspoon garlic powder, or more to taste
2 cups shredded cabbage
2 ounces shredded carrots
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons water
1 quart peanut oil for frying, or as needed
8 (7 inch square) egg roll wrappers
2 tablespoons sesame seeds (Optional)

Instructions


Season pork with ginger and garlic powder in a
large bowl; mix until thoroughly combined.
Place pork in a medium skillet over medium heat.
Cook and stir until pork is browned and crumbly, 5
to 7 minutes.
Combine cooked pork, cabbage, and carrots in a
large bowl; mix until egg roll filling is well
combined.
Mix four and water together in a small bowl until a
paste forms.
Heat oil in a large skillet to about 375 degrees F
(190 degrees C) or medium high heat.
While oil is heating, prepare egg rolls: Lay one egg
roll wrapper on a work surface with one corner
pointed toward you like a diamond. Place about
1/4 to 1/3 cup of the filling in the center of the
wrapper. Fold the bottom corner up and over the
filling. Fold the left and right corners in toward the
center. Push the egg roll away from you and roll
toward the top corner. Brush a bit of the flour paste
over the inside of that corner to help seal the egg
roll.
Fry egg rolls in the hot oil, turning occasionally,
until golden brown and crispy, 5 to 8 minutes.
Remove from oil and drain on paper towels or rack.
Place egg rolls on a serving plate and sprinkle
sesame seeds over top.
