Instructions

To Make The Dipping Sauce

In a small pot, lightly saute the minced garlic & the chili flakes over medium heat, just until fragrant.
1 clove garlic, 1/4- 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
Add in the remaining ingredients and cook an additional 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
2 tsp olive oil, 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
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, and soy sauce stirring to incorporate and breaking it up as you go, until no pink remains. Set aside.
1 lb ground pork sausage, 1 tbsp fresh ginger, 1 clove garlic, 1 tsp onion powder, 1 tbsp soy sauce
Preheat the oil to 375 degrees F.
In a small bowl, stir together the flour and water until evenly combined.
2 tbsp all-purpose flour, 2 tbsp water
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.
12 6 inch square egg roll wrappers, 2 ½ cups finely shredded cabbage & carrot blend
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 in hot oil until lightly browned and crispy turning occasionally.
1 quart canola oil for frying
Serve the eggrolls with the sesame ginger dipping sauce.

Notes

Part of the beauty of making homemade egg rolls is how much you can customize them! Want vegetarian egg rolls? Chop up 16 ounces of mushrooms and sauté those in place of sausage. You could also substitute ground chicken sausage or ground turkey sausage if you prefer.
Don't over stuff the egg rolls. They won't stay together as well.
Fry the egg rolls in small batches so they cook evenly. If you fry them all at once, the oil temperature will lower and the egg rolls won't fry properly.
