Ingredients for this Authentic Chinese Egg Rolls Recipe:

• 4 teaspoons vegetable oil, divided
• 3 large eggs, beaten
• 1 medium head cabbage, finely shredded
• ½ carrot, julienned
• 1 pound Chinese barbequed or roasted pork, cut into matchsticks
• 1 (8-ounce) can shredded bamboo shoots
• 1 cup dried, shredded wood ear mushroom, rehydrated
• 2 green onions, thinly sliced
• 2 ½ teaspoons soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• ½ teaspoon monosodium glutamate (MSG)
• 1 (14-ounce) package egg roll wrappers
• 1 egg white, beaten
• 4 cups oil for frying, or as needed

Directions:

1. Prepare the filling: Heat 2 teaspoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beaten eggs and scramble until fully cooked. Remove from the pan and set aside.
2. Sauté vegetables: In the same pan, add another teaspoon of oil and sauté the cabbage and carrot for about 3-5 minutes until slightly softened. Add the bamboo shoots, rehydrated wood ear mushrooms, and green onions, cooking for another 2-3 minutes.
3. Add the meat and seasonings: Stir in the Chinese BBQ pork, soy sauce, salt, sugar, and MSG. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, ensuring everything is well combined. Finally, add the scrambled eggs and mix.
4. Assemble the egg rolls: Lay out an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface. Spoon 2-3 tablespoons of the filling into the center of the wrapper. Fold in the sides and roll tightly, sealing the edge with the beaten egg white. Repeat for the remaining wrappers.
5. Fry the egg rolls: Heat the oil in a deep frying pan or wok to 350°F (175°C). Carefully fry the egg rolls in batches, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy (about 4-5 minutes). Drain on paper towels.
6. Serve: Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as sweet and sour or soy sauce.
