AUTHENTIC CHINESE EGG ROLLS (FROM A CHINESE PERSON)
My mom is the best cook ever and I am a picky eater. If I like this, then you will. This is very authentic because my family is Chinese and I am too. This recipe is at least 300 years old in the Ling family.

Steps:
- Heat 1 teaspoon vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over medium heat. Pour in beaten eggs and cook, without stirring, until firmed. Flip the eggs over and cook for an additional 20 seconds to firm the other side. Set egg pancake aside to cool, then slice into thin strips.
- Heat the remaining vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat. Stir in cabbage and carrot; cook for 2 minutes to wilt. Add bamboo, mushroom, pork, green onions, soy sauce, salt, sugar, and MSG; continue cooking until the vegetables soften, about 6 minutes. Stir in sliced egg, then spread mixture out onto a pan, and refrigerate until cold, about 1 hour.
- To assemble the egg rolls, place a wrapper onto your work surface with one corner pointing towards you. Place about 3 tablespoons of cooled filling in a heap onto the bottom third of the wrapper. Brush a little beaten egg white onto the top two edges of the wrapper, then fold the bottom corner over the filling and roll firmly to the halfway point. Fold the left and right sides snugly over the egg roll, then continue rolling until the top corners seal the egg roll with the egg white. Repeat with remaining egg roll wrappers, covering finished egg rolls with plastic wrap to keep from drying out.
- Heat about 6-inches of oil in a wok or deep-fryer to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Fry egg rolls 3 or 4 at a time until golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain on paper towels.

Steps:
- 1. In a little bit of oil, saute onions until tender. Then add pork and saute until browned or done. Add garlic,ginger, salt & pepper and mix well, letting the flavors settle. Add oyster sauce and mix again. Then add cabbage and cook for about 3-5 minutes according to your desired "crunch factor." Fill egg roll wraps by starting with the corner closest to you and add about 2 tbsp. of filling. Wet each end, roll the mixture in the wrap once, fold in the sides, and continue to the end of the furthest corner, making sure the wet ends stick to each other. You can watch how to do it on this YouTube clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FJTdKyDg_2Y
- 2. Heat oil to 350-360 degrees. NOTE: Make sure oil is hot enough or egg rolls will be greasy. Deep fry 1-3 egg rolls at a time until they are light brown. They will look darker after you take them out of the oil. Drain on paper towels. AGAIN, make sure that all openings in the egg roll are sealed with water and stay closed or the egg rolls will be greasy.
- 3. You can by Duck sauce already made or make your own with apricot jam, a little light corn syrup and some water to make it your desired consistency. If you make your own, I recommend putting a tad of ginger in it for some extra flavor.

Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better the sauce will taste. Use fresh ginger, garlic, and scallions for the best flavor.
- Don't skimp on the soy sauce: Soy sauce is the backbone of this sauce, so don't be afraid to use a good quality one. Look for a soy sauce that is brewed naturally and has a deep, rich flavor.
- Add a little bit of sweetness: A little bit of sweetness helps to balance out the salty and sour flavors of the sauce. You can add sugar, honey, or rice syrup to taste.
- Use a cornstarch slurry to thicken the sauce: A cornstarch slurry is a mixture of cornstarch and water that is used to thicken sauces. To make a cornstarch slurry, mix together equal parts cornstarch and water in a small bowl. Add the slurry to the sauce and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sauce has thickened.
- Serve the sauce immediately: Egg roll sauce is best served immediately after it is made. The sauce will thicken as it cools, so if you are making it ahead of time, be sure to reheat it before serving.
Conclusion:
