Directions
-
Rinse dried black mushrooms and soak in warm water for 20-30 minutes until soft. Drain, squeeze out excess water, and finely chop.
-
Finely shred the green cabbage. If the cabbage releases a lot of water, sprinkle with a pinch of salt, let sit for 10 minutes, then squeeze out excess moisture.
-
In a large bowl, combine the ground pork, chopped mushrooms, shredded cabbage, salt, cornstarch, soy sauce, and white pepper. Mix thoroughly until evenly distributed.
-
Heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil in a deep skillet or wok to 350&# 194;°F (175ðC).
-
Place an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface. Spoon about 2-3 tablespoons of the filling onto the center of the wrapper.
-
Fold the bottom corner up over the filling, then fold in the left and right sides towards the center. Roll tightly upwards to seal.
-
Seal the top edge with a little water or egg wash to prevent leaking during frying.
-
Carefully place the rolled egg rolls into the hot oil, a few at a time, ensuring they do not crowd the pan.
-
Fry for 3-5 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy on all sides.
-
Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
