Crispy Homemade Egg Rolls are so crunchy & tasty. Whether they're fried, oven-baked, or air-fried, they turn out perfectly golden every time.

Ingredients

1 pound ground pork
1 tablespoon fresh ginger (grated)
1 clove garlic (minced)
1 teaspoon onion powder
¼ teaspoon Chinese 5 spice ((optional))
1 tablespoon soy sauce
2 ½ cups packaged fresh coleslaw ((or 2 ½ cups finely chopped cabbage & shredded carrots))
16 egg roll wrappers ((6 inch square))
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons water
1 quart canola oil for frying
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 clove garlic (minced)
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
¼ cup soy sauce
¼ cup honey
2 tablespoons orange juice
1 teaspoon fresh ginger root (minced)
1 teaspoon fresh lime juice
½ teaspoon sesame seeds ((optional))
¼ teaspoon sesame oil

Cook garlic & chili flakes in oil over medium heat until fragrant. Add remaining ingredients and cook an additional 3 minutes. Remove from heat and refrigerate until serving.

Over medium heat, cook pork, ginger, garlic, onion powder, Chinese 5 spice (if using), and soy sauce until no pink remains.

4
Preheat oil to 375°F.

Combine flour and water in a small bowl.

Lay out one egg roll wrapper with a corner pointed toward you. Place ¼ cup of the pork mixture in the center. Use your finger to spread a little bit of the flour mixture along the edge.
7
Fold two of the corners together to make a triangle, fold the sides in and then roll tightly. (Seal the edges with the flour mixture if needed).
8
Fry egg rolls until lightly browned and crispy turning occasionally.
