Egg rolls are delicious and easy to make. You just need a bit of patience, as they can take some time to prepare. The best part is that once you have made these egg rolls, you won’t want to buy them anymore because they taste so great.
Prepare the sauce.
When it comes to cooking, timing is everything. One of the best things about making egg rolls at home is that you have the freedom to prepare them in advance and freeze them before they’re cooked. This way, all you have to do is pop out some frozen rolls from your freezer, fry them up and serve!
While it’s important not to let your sauce sit out for longer than an hour or two after making it (the flavors will get watered down), if you plan ahead and make your sauce a day or two beforehand, this shouldn’t be an issue at all.
If possible though–and especially if this will be part of an event where people are coming over–it might be better not only because there won’t be any risk of spoilage but also because everyone loves fresh food!
Make the wrapper dough and let it rest.
To make the wrapper dough, combine 1 cup all-purpose flour with 1/2 cup water in a mixing bowl. Mix until there are no lumps and then let rest for 30 minutes.
Then roll out your dough on a lightly floured surface until it’s about 1/2 inch thick (or as thin as you can get it). Cut into squares that are 4 inches by 4 inches (you should get 8 pieces out of one batch).
Make the filling.
Use a wok or large skillet over medium heat, and add the oil. Cook the pork until it’s browned, then remove from pan. Add the ginger and garlic, cooking until fragrant (about 1 minute). Add cabbage and carrots, cooking for about 5 minutes until tender but still crunchy. Return pork to pan along with soy sauce and reduce heat to low; cook until vegetables are coated in sauce (about 3-5 minutes). Season with salt & pepper to taste before removing from heat completely
