In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork or chicken, shredded cabbage, grated carrots, minced garlic, finely chopped ginger, and soy sauce. Mix thoroughly until well incorporated. Let the mixture sit for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Lay one egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with a corner pointing toward you. Place about two tablespoons of the filling mixture at the center, fold the bottom corner over the filling, and tightly roll the wrapper away from you, tucking in the sides as you go. Seal with a dab of water.

In a deep skillet or pot, heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 360°F. Use a kitchen thermometer for accuracy.

Carefully place the egg rolls into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cravingly crispy.

Once drained, serve your homemade egg rolls hot. They pair wonderfully with sweet and sour sauce or soy sauce for dipping.
