Directions
-
Heat oil in a wok over medium-high heat. Stir-fry the pork until it changes color, about 3 minutes.
-
Add the bamboo shoots and grated carrot; stir-fry for 2 minutes until softened but still crisp.
-
Add the cabbage and stir-fry for about 2 minutes, or until the cabbage is wilted.
-
Blend 1 teaspoon of cornstarch with soy sauce and combine with the wok mixture. Stir to coat evenly.
-
Remove the filling from the heat and stir in spring onions, bean sprouts, salt, and pepper. Drain the filling well before using.
-
Lay a spring roll wrapper on a flat surface with a corner facing you. Spoon 2 tablespoons of filling onto the wrapper, about 2 inches from the bottom corner, shaping it into a long, narrow strip.
-
Fold the bottom corner up and over the filling, then roll once away from you.
-
Dab a bit of egg on the left and right corners and fold them in, pressing to seal.
-
Dab the top corner with a bit of egg and continue rolling to seal the egg roll.
-
Repeat the wrapping process until all wrappers and filling are used.
-
Heat oil in a wok over high heat until almost smoking. Add 5 egg rolls at a time and fry until crisp and golden, about 3 minutes.
-
Remove the egg rolls with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
