Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground pork (or chicken/turkey/beef)
  • 1 bag cole slaw mix (chopped fine) or head of cabbage
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tsp sesame oil
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 2 tsp ground ginger
  • 3 scallions, finely chopped

Instructions

  • Combine ground pork, slaw mix, scallions, seasonings and pepper. I like to first whirl the slaw mix in a food processer to get a fine texture.
  • Preheat a cast iron skillet coated with avocado oil. Place egg roll wrappers on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Spoon 1-2 tbsp filling into the center of each wrapper and spread to form a thin layer over the wrapper.
  • Place egg rolls meat side down in the pan. Press lightly with the back of a spatula. Cook until golden brown. Brush the back of the egg roll with oil and flip. Continue to cook until the wrapper side is browned and crispy.
  • Remove from pan and place on paper towels to absorb any excess oil. Fold in half and dip into your favorite dipping sauce.
