Steps:
- In a medium skillet over medium heat, cook the pork, breaking it up as it cooks. When it is halfway cooked, sprinkle the ground ginger and garlic powder over the pork and stir to coat the meat evenly. Continue to cook until the pork is no longer pink. Set aside.
- In another large heavy pot, heat oil to 375ºF or medium high heat. While the oil is heating, combine the flour and water in a bowl until they form a paste. In a separate bowl, combine the coleslaw mix and reserved pork mixture. Mix it all together.
- Lay out one egg roll skin with a corner pointed toward you. Place about 1/4 to 1/3 cup of the pork mixture on the egg roll paper and fold the corner up over the mixture. Fold left and right corners toward the center and continue to roll. Brush a bit of the flour paste on the final corner to help seal the egg roll.
- Place the egg rolls into the heated oil and fry, turning occasionally, until golden brown. Remove from the oil and drain on paper towels or a rack.

EGG ROLLS- CHEAP & EASY
Love to make these & freeze for an easy pull out side when we fix an Asian dish. You can add pork, shrimp or beef or just leave it with the veggies. I use whatever meat I have in fridge as a leftover. We also often use spring roll wrappers.

Steps:
- In a bowl, combine the first six ingredients; mix well. Place an egg roll wrapper on work surface with one point facing you. Place a heaping tablespoon of beef mixture in center. Fold bottom third of wrapper over filling. Fold in sides.
- In a small bowl, combine flour and enough water to make a paste. Moisten top corner with paste, roll up tightly to seal. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
- In an electric skillet, heat 1 inch of oil to 375*. Fry egg rolls for 3-5 minutes or until golden brown.
- Note: Fill egg roll wrappers one at a time, keeping the others covered until ready to use.
- Egg rolls can be reheated in a microwave for 2 1/2 to 3 minutes.
Tips:
- Prep your ingredients in advance: Chop the vegetables, whisk the sauce, and measure out the seasonings before you start cooking. This will help you save time and avoid scrambling to find ingredients while you're cooking.
- Use a large skillet or wok: This will give you plenty of room to stir-fry the vegetables and meat without overcrowding the pan.
- Heat your pan over high heat: This will help to sear the vegetables and meat and prevent them from sticking to the pan.
- Stir-fry the vegetables and meat in batches if necessary: If your pan is too crowded, the vegetables and meat will not cook evenly. Cook them in batches, removing them from the pan as they are done.
- Use a variety of vegetables: This will add color, texture, and flavor to your egg rolls. Some good choices include cabbage, carrots, bell peppers, and onions.
- Don't overcook the vegetables: They should be tender-crisp, not mushy.
- Season the egg rolls to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add a splash of soy sauce or rice vinegar for extra flavor.
- Serve the egg rolls immediately: They are best when served hot and crispy.
Conclusion:
Egg rolls are a delicious and versatile appetizer or main course. They can be made with a variety of fillings, so you can easily customize them to your liking.
