Egg Rolls with Cabbage and Ground Beef

Ingredients

For the Filling:

1 pound ground beef

2 cups cabbage, finely shredded

1 cup collard greens, chopped (or any leafy green)

1 cup carrots, grated

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon sesame oil

Salt and pepper, to taste

For the Egg Rolls:

12 egg roll wrappers

Oil for frying (vegetable or canola)

For Serving:

Soy sauce or sweet chili sauce for dipping

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Filling

Cook Ground Beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, add ground beef. Cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain excess fat.

Add Vegetables: Add the garlic, ginger, cabbage, collard greens, and carrots. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

Season: Stir in soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and pepper. Mix well and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Remove from heat and let the filling cool slightly.

Step 2: Assemble the Egg Rolls

Prepare Wrappers: Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with one corner pointing towards you. Place about 2-3 tablespoons of the filling near the bottom corner.

Roll: Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides, and roll up tightly. Seal the top corner with a little water. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.

Step 3: Cook the Egg Rolls

Heat Oil: In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat about 2 inches of oil over medium-high heat.

Fry: Carefully add the egg rolls in batches, frying for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Use a slotted spoon to remove them and drain on paper towels.

Step 4: Serve

Plate: Arrange the egg rolls on a serving plate.

Dipping Sauce: Serve with soy sauce or sweet chili sauce for dipping.

Tips

Baking Option: For a healthier option, you can bake the egg rolls at 400°F (200°C) for about 20-25 minutes, brushing them with oil for a crispy texture.

Customization: Feel free to add other vegetables or proteins like shredded chicken or shrimp for variety.
