Ingredients
- 1 pound ground pork
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup phyllo dough (thawed, if frozen)
- 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Sesame seeds, for garnish
- Oil for frying
How to Make Savory Pork and Egg Rolls
- In a large skillet, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the ground pork to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess grease.
- In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, soy sauce, sesame oil, ground ginger, black pepper, and salt. Pour this mixture over the cooked pork and stir until well combined. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the eggs to set slightly.
- Remove the skillet from heat and let the filling cool for a few minutes. Preheat your frying oil in a deep pan to 350°F (175°C).
- Lay out a sheet of phyllo dough on a clean surface. Cut it into rectangles approximately 4 inches by 6 inches. Place a tablespoon of the pork mixture at one end of the rectangle.
- Roll the phyllo dough over the filling, folding in the sides as you go to secure the filling inside. Continue rolling until you reach the other end of the dough. Seal the edge with a bit of water.
- Carefully place the egg rolls into the hot oil, a few at a time, and fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes on each side. Remove and drain on paper towels.
- Sprinkle with sesame seeds while still hot. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauces.
Tips for the Best Results
- Ensure the phyllo dough is thawed and kept covered to prevent it from drying out while you work.
- Adjust the seasoning to your taste; add chili flakes for a spicy kick or fresh herbs for added flavor.
- Fry in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan, which can lower the oil temperature and result in soggy rolls.
Easy Variations
- Substitute ground pork with ground chicken or turkey for a leaner option.
- Add vegetables like shredded carrots or bell peppers to the filling for extra crunch and nutrition.
- Try different spices such as cumin or five-spice powder for a unique flavor twist.
What to Serve With It
- Soy sauce or sweet chili sauce for dipping.
- A fresh salad with a tangy vinaigrette.
- Steamed rice or fried rice for a complete meal.
- Pickled vegetables for a refreshing contrast.
