Ingredients

  • 12 egg roll wrappers
  • 1 pound pork chop
  • 3 cups coleslaw mix
  • 1/2 cup chopped celery
  • 2 sliced green onions
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1/4 teaspoon Chinese five spice powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon granulated sugar
  • oil for frying

Instructions

  • Chop raw pork chop into small pieces. Heat a small amount of canola oil in a skillet, then add the chopped pork and season with salt and pepper. Add the soy sauce, grated ginger, and five spice powder and saute until the pork is no longer pink.
  • Add the coleslaw mix, celery, onions, salt, sugar, cornstarch, and sesame oil. Cook on medium heat for 4-5 minutes, until veggies are tender-crisp.
  • Spoon 2-3 tablespoons of the mixture into the center of an egg roll wrapper. Fold the bottom corner up, then fold in the sides and roll. Seal the edges of the egg roll wrapper with water or a small amount of peanut butter. (**I used peanut butter and it worked great!)
  • Heat 1/2 inch of canola oil in a large skillet to 350°. Fry egg rolls for 1-2 minutes on each side, until golden brown.
  • Serve with sweet & sour sauce or spicy mustard as desired.

Notes

Recipe variations:
  • Substitute chicken, shrimp, or vegetables for the pork
  • Use ground pork in place of pork chop
  • Use a combination of meats, such as pork & shrimp
  • Add additional vegetables, such as shiitake mushrooms, bean sprouts, or thinly sliced red pepper
  • Adjust the seasonings according to your tastes
  • Add an extra cup of coleslaw mix for a more veggie-forward flavor
  • Use wonton wrappers in place of egg roll wrappers
  • Use a flour & water "paste" to seal the edges of the egg roll wrappers (instead of water or peanut butter)
