- Serves:
-
15
ingredients
- 2 (20 ounce) packages lumpia skins (or egg roll wrappers)
- 2 cups of shredded cabbage (pre-shredded cabbage makes it easier)
- 1 lb ground pork
- 1⁄2 cup green pepper, minced
- 1⁄2 cup carrot, shredded
- 1⁄2 cup celery, minced
- 1⁄2 cup onion, minced
- 4 tablespoons sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon fennel seed
- 1⁄2 teaspoon ground pepper
- 1⁄8 teaspoon Accent seasoning
directions
- In a wok, fry up the ground pork, drain and set aside.
- Heat the same wok on high heat. Once the wok is very hot add the sesame oil.
- Once the oil starts to smoke add the cabbage, pepper, green pepper, carrots, celery, fennel seeds and onions. Stir fry quickly - if the vegetables start to turn watery then the heat is not high enough.
- Stir in the ground pork and the accent and soy sauce.
- Let this mixture completely cool to room temperature, or you can put it in fridge overnight.
- Once the mixture has cooled, you are now ready to roll the egg rolls.
- Roll the egg rolls according to the directions on the egg roll wrappers package if you are not familiar on how to roll them.
- Oil Fry: Fry the wrapped egg rolls in oil that has been heated to 350 degrees in a deep fryer for 3 minutes, if you are using a skillet to fry them, just turn them over half way through the cooking to cook both sides.
- Air Fryer: Air fry for 3-4 minutes on 400 degrees. If using frozen egg rolls, air fry for 7-8 minutes at 400 degrees.
- Or you can store the un-fried egg rolls in the freezer in a freezer zip lock bag, and you can have egg rolls anytime you want.

I did make a few changes by 1) adding fresh garlic & ginger while sauteing the meat and 2) then electing to bake the eggrolls. I thought overall these were a good version. They contained a heavier meat to veggie ratio than most and I didn't find the small amount of accent distracting. Thank you for sharing your recipe! Made for Pick A Chef Spring 2011.
