# What You'll Need:
→ Filling
01 -
1 pound ground beef
02 -
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
03 -
½ cup chopped green onions
04 -
½ cup shredded carrots
05 -
1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
06 -
1 teaspoon garlic powder
→ Wrappers and Oil
07 -
10 to 12 egg roll wrappers
08 -
Vegetable oil for frying (neutral oil with high smoke point)
# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the ground beef until fully browned with no pink remaining. Drain excess grease carefully.
02 -
Add Cajun seasoning and garlic powder to the cooked beef, stirring well to coat evenly. Allow to cool slightly before mixing.
03 -
Transfer the seasoned beef to a large mixing bowl. Add shredded cheddar, chopped green onions, and shredded carrots. Stir gently until fully combined.
04 -
Place one egg roll wrapper flat on a clean surface oriented as a diamond shape with a corner pointing towards you.
05 -
Spoon 2 to 3 tablespoons of filling near the center of the wrapper, slightly closer to the bottom corner for easier wrapping.
06 -
Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in both sides tightly to encase the mixture. Roll the wrapper upward to form a tight cylinder.
07 -
Dab water along the top corner and press firmly to seal the wrapper securely and prevent opening during frying.
08 -
Pour vegetable oil into a deep skillet or pot to approximately 2 inches depth. Heat oil to 350°F (175°C) using a thermometer for accuracy.
09 -
Place egg rolls carefully into hot oil in small batches to avoid sticking. Fry for 3 to 4 minutes, turning occasionally until golden brown and crispy.
10 -
Remove egg rolls with a slotted spoon and place on paper towels to absorb excess oil. Serve immediately with preferred dipping sauce.
# Extra Suggestions:
01 -
Avoid overfilling wrappers to prevent bursting during frying. For extra crispness, consider double-wrapping the egg rolls. Assembled rolls can be frozen uncooked for up to three months and fried directly from frozen.
02 -
Let the filling cool slightly before wrapping to ensure wrappers do not become soggy or tear during frying.
