Instructions
Beginner
Mix all the ingredients together.
Advanced
In a skillet, heat oil to high then add the onion / scallion then sauté until glassy / translucent look, for 3 – 5 minutes.
Add cabbage. Sauté until the cabbage reduced in size, for about 5 – 10 minutes.
Add the meat, salt, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil.
Stir-fry until the meat is browned. Take it off heat and let it cool off.
Wrap
Knead flour, water, optional egg and salt until it comes together.
Roll the dough into a ball then halve it.
Seal one of the balls into an airtight container, so it won't lose moisture, then roll out the other one into an 12"x 17"/ 30cm x 45cm rectangle.
Divide the rolled out sheet into six, preferably equal parts. If we've done it right, then we'll have six pieces of 6" / 15cm squares.
Assembly
Place about two tablespoons of filling at one corner.
Roll the corner over the filling.
Flip in the side corners to the middle.
Continue rolling the wrap up.
Heat oil to medium to high and place the egg rolls in. Mind to have some space around them for even heat distribution. Once one side get golden brown, turn them over.
Fry the other side until golden brown too. The whole frying should take about 15 minutes with turning the rolls halfway through. Remove from the oil and let it drip before serving.
