Ingredients
1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 cups green cabbage, finely shredded
10–12 egg roll wrappers
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon sesame oil
Oil for frying or cooking spray for baking
Instructions
-
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
-
Add shrimp, soy sauce, and sesame oil to the pan. Cook for 3–4 minutes until shrimp turns pink.
-
Stir in the shredded cabbage and cook for 2–3 minutes until the cabbage wilts slightly but remains crisp. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
-
Lay an egg roll wrapper flat, with a corner facing you. Place 2 tablespoons of the shrimp and cabbage mixture in the center. Fold up the bottom corner over the filling, fold in the sides, and roll up tightly, sealing the edge with water. Repeat with remaining wrappers.
-
Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pot over medium-high heat. Fry the egg rolls for 3–4 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy.
-
Alternatively, bake the egg rolls: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and bake for 15–20 minutes, turning halfway through.
Notes
Storage/Reheating: Best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 10 minutes, or in a skillet over medium heat.
Make-Ahead: You can prepare the egg rolls ahead of time and store them in the fridge for a few hours before cooking. Freeze them on a baking sheet for longer storage, then fry or bake from frozen.
