Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 2 cups green cabbage thinly shredded
  • 1 cup carrots shredded
  • 1 cup mushrooms finely chopped
  • 4 green onions sliced
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger optional
  • 12 egg roll wrappers
  • 1 egg for sealing edges
  • Vegetable oil for frying
  • Optional for Baking:
  • Olive oil or cooking spray
  • For Dipping Sauce optional:
  • Soy sauce
  • Rice vinegar
  • Chili flakes or sriracha

Method
 

Cook the Filling:
  1. Heat sesame oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add cabbage, carrots, mushrooms, green onions, garlic, and ginger (if using). Stir and cook for 5–7 minutes until veggies are softened.
Season:
  1. Add soy sauce and stir to combine. Remove from heat and let it cool for 5 minutes.
Prepare Wrappers:
  1. Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with a corner facing you. Place about 2 tablespoons of the cooled veggie mix in the center.
Roll the Egg Rolls:
  1. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in both sides. Roll tightly and seal the top corner with a little beaten egg.
Fry Option:
  1. Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep pan (350°F / 175°C). Fry egg rolls in small batches for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
Bake Option:
  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Place rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment. Lightly brush with olive oil or spray with cooking spray. Bake for 20 minutes, flipping halfway.
Serve:
  1. Serve hot with soy dipping sauce or your favorite dip.

Notes

You can mix up the veggies—try adding bean sprouts, bell peppers, or even chopped spinach. For a freezer-friendly option, assemble the rolls and freeze before cooking. Then fry or bake straight from the freezer—just add a few extra minutes.
