Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add a drizzle of oil, sautéing minced garlic until fragrant—about 30 seconds. Add ground beef and cook until fully browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat, stir in cabbage, carrots, and green onions, and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Season with soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, ground ginger, salt, and pepper, then allow to cool.
  2. To assemble, place an egg roll wrapper in a diamond position. Spoon 2-3 tablespoons of cooled filling into the center, fold the bottom corner over, tuck in the sides, and roll away from you, sealing the final edge with a dab of water.
  3. In a deep skillet, heat about 2 inches of vegetable or canola oil over medium-high heat to 350°F (175°C). Test oil by dropping a small piece of wrapper; if it sizzles, it's ready. Fry egg rolls in batches for 3-4 minutes until golden brown and crisp. Use a slotted spoon to transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  4. Serve immediately while hot, accompanied by favorite dipping sauces like sweet and sour, soy sauce, or spicy chili sauce.

Notes

Ensure the filling cools completely before wrapping to avoid tearing. Use high smoke point oils for frying. Avoid overcrowding while frying, and consider baking for a healthier option.
