Ingredients

For the Filling:

• 1 cup shredded cabbage (green or Napa cabbage works best)
• ½ cup shredded carrots
• ½ cup thinly sliced mushrooms (optional)
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• ½ teaspoon ginger, freshly grated
• ½ cup cooked protein (shrimp, chicken, pork, or tofu) – optional
• 2 teaspoons soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon oyster sauce (optional, for depth of flavor)
• ½ teaspoon sesame oil
• Salt and pepper, to taste

For the Egg Rolls:

• 12–15 egg roll wrappers
• 1 egg, beaten (for sealing)
• Vegetable oil, for frying

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Filling

1. Heat a pan: Place a tablespoon of vegetable oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat.
2. Sauté aromatics: Add chopped onions, garlic, and ginger. Stir for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
3. Cook the vegetables: Add cabbage, carrots, and mushrooms. Stir-fry for 3–5 minutes until slightly softened but still crisp.
4. Add protein (optional): Mix in cooked chicken, pork, shrimp, or tofu.
5. Season the filling: Add soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil. Adjust salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and let cool slightly (this prevents the wrappers from getting soggy).
