    Think you can make delicious restaurant-quality egg rolls at home? Think again! This easy to recreate Homemade Egg Rolls recipe will have you frying up a batch in no time!

    Homemade Egg Roll Recipe

    *Disclaimer - This recipe was originally published in 2012. I'm working hard to update all my older recipes with recipe cards, new photos, and additional recipe information. But, getting to all of them will take time. Please bear with me. In the meantime let me assure you that this recipe is still a winner and one I'm sure you'll be well pleased with when you make it at home.

    We're HUGE lovers of Chinese cuisine and flavors here in my home.  My aim was to make egg rolls like our favorite Chinese take-out restaurant. 

    While these egg rolls are quite good, they don't exactly have the flavor of our local take-out. That's ok though. I'm glad to have this recipe in my arsenal and I think you will be too.


    PORK FILLED EGG ROLLS      {PRINT THIS RECIPE}

    ½ lb ground pork
    3 cloves garlic, grated
    salt and pepper
    1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger, divided
    1 medium carrot, grated
    1 tablespoon red onion, grated
    2 cups prepared coleslaw mix (cabbage, red, and green)
    2-3 tablespoons bean sprouts, drained
    2-3 tablespoons water chestnuts, chopped
    2-3 scallions, sliced
    1 teaspoon soy sauce
    ½ teaspoon rice vinegar
    1 teaspoon oyster sauce
    Egg Roll Wrappers (found in the produce section of your grocery store)
    Peanut Oil for frying

    -In a large skillet, over medium-high heat, brown the pork until no longer pink.
    -Add the garlic, ginger, salt, and pepper, and reduce the heat to medium.
    -Add the carrot, red onion, slaw mix, bean sprouts, and water chestnuts.
    -Cook the mixture until it's just wilted. Approximately 5 minutes.
    -Add the scallions, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and oyster sauce.
    -Continue to cook for just another minute or two and remove from the heat.
    -Allow cooling so the mixture is easy to work with.
    -Using one egg roll wrapper at a time, fill with the pork/cabbage mixture, roll up and seal the ends with water. 

    -Continue wrapping and rolling until all the meat mixture is used up.
    -In a large, deep-sided skillet, heat several inches of the peanut oil for frying.
    **Note - You know your peanut oil is ready when you dip the handle of a wooden spoon in the oil and millions of tiny bubbles form off the spoon handle.**
    -Carefully fry a few egg rolls at a time until golden brown, turning to brown all sides.
    -Allow your egg rolls to cool slightly and serve.

    Homemade Pork Egg Roll Recipe

    While my egg rolls were good, they were still lacking 'something' that our favorite Chinese take-out egg rolls have.

    Maybe it's the msg? Who knows? 

    Still, for a first-time egg roll making experience, I was pretty pleased with how they turned out and I think you will be also.

      i always love a good egg roll. i don't eat Chinese food as much as i used to because i can't find a good restaurant where i live - maybe making my own is the answer...?

      happy belated SRC reveal day!

      I can't believe you made egg rolls at home and they look beautiful. We love egg rolls and would love a recipe that mimicked our local chinese restaurant. I cracked up at your missing ingredient - MSG. haha That's probably exactly what it was - or extra grease?
      At any rate, yours look fantastic! Great pick!

      Ah I've always wanted to make eggrolls too! I believe you when you say these were "missing" something though... my Chinese food inspired SRC dish was missing something too, but I couldn't quite pinpoint it.

      I've always wanted to make egg rolls at home but have avoided it b/c I hate heating up a huge pot of oil...yours look so good I may have to try it (but substituting something else for the pork) Great SRC pick!

      You did a wonderful job with the recipe and I could easily enjoy a plate of your egg rolls.
