Egg Rolls




Ingredients
Your choice of either
1 pound ground pork, chicken or shrimp
or leave out the above, and just make veggie egg rolls
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 quart peanut oil for frying
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons water
2 cups shredded cabbage
2 ounces shredded carrots
8 (7 inch square) egg roll wrappers
2 tablespoons sesame seeds (optional)

Directions
Season pork with ginger and garlic powder
and mix thoroughly.
Heat mixture in a medium skillet, stirring, until pork is cooked through and no longer pink.
Set aside.
In another large skillet
heat oil to about 375 degrees F (190 degrees C)
or medium high heat.
While oil is heating, combine flour and water in a bowl until they form a paste.
In a separate bowl combine
the cabbage, carrots and reserved meat mixture.
Mix all together.
Lay out one egg roll skin with a
corner pointed toward you.
Place about a 1/4 to 1/3 cup of the cabbage, carrot and pork mixture on egg roll paper and
fold corner up over the mixture.
Fold left and right corners toward the
center and continue to roll.
Brush a bit of the flour paste
on the final corner to help seal the egg roll.
Place egg rolls into heated oil and fry, turning occasionally, until golden brown. Remove from oil and drain on paper towels or rack. Put on serving plate and top with sesame seeds if desired.
