For The Eggrolls
- 1 lb ground pork sausage
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger grated
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 ½ cups finely shredded cabbage & carrot blend I just throw a bit of each into my food processor until I've met the mark, or prepackaged coleslaw blend
- 12 6 inch square egg roll wrappers
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp water
- 1 quart canola oil for frying
For The Sesame Ginger Dipping Sauce
- 2 tsp olive oil
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1/4- 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
- 1 tsp minced fresh ginger root
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- ¼ cup honey
- 2 tbsp orange juice
- ¼ tsp sesame oil
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 1/4 tsp sesame oil
To Make The Dipping Sauce
In a small pot, lightly saute the minced garlic & the chili flakes over medium heat, just until fragrant.
Add in the remaining ingredients and cook an additional 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Remove the sauce from heat and refrigerate until ready to serve.
To Make The Eggrolls
In a medium-large skillet, over medium heat, add the sausage, ginger, garlic, onion powder, stirring to incorporate and breaking it up as you go, until no pink remains. Set aside.
Preheat the oil to 375 degrees F.
In a small bowl, stir together the flour and water until evenly combined.
Lay out one egg roll wrapper with a corner pointed toward you. Place 2 tablespoons of the meat mixture and roughly 2 tablespoons of the coleslaw mixture in the center. Use your finger to spread a little bit of the flour mixture along the edges.
Fold two of the corners together to make a triangle, gently press to seal the edges with the flour mixture, and then fold the sides in and roll up tightly.
Fry egg rolls until lightly browned and crispy turning occasionally.
Serve the eggrolls with the sesame ginger dipping sauce.
