Description
Korean Ground Beef Egg Rolls are a tasty appetizer made with seasoned ground beef, napa cabbage, and carrots wrapped in crispy egg roll wrappers. They offer a sweet and savory flavor with a satisfying crunch.
Ingredients
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1 Tablespoon sesame oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup lite soy sauce
- ½ tablespoon Sriracha (adjust for spice level)
- 24 egg roll wrappers
- 10 napa cabbage leaves, torn into small squares
- 2 carrots, cut into matchsticks
- Oil, for frying
Instructions
- Heat a large pan over medium-high heat. Brown the ground beef with sesame oil, garlic, and ginger.
- Drain 75% of the fat from the pan. Add brown sugar, soy sauce, and Sriracha. Cook until the liquid is reabsorbed and the meat is shiny.
- Remove the beef mixture from the pan. Add the carrot sticks to the same pan and cook for 3-4 minutes until slightly softened.
- Let the beef and carrot mixture cool.
- Lay out the egg roll wrappers. Place a small square of napa cabbage on each wrapper, followed by 5-6 carrot pieces and 2 tablespoons of the beef mixture.
- Wet the edges of the wrapper with water. Fold in the sides and roll up like a burrito.
- Place the rolled egg rolls on a cookie sheet or tray without touching each other and freeze until firm.
- Heat oil in a deep fryer or pot to 350°F (175°C).
- Fry the frozen Korean Ground Beef Egg Rolls for 3-4 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
- Drain the fried egg rolls on a drying rack.
Notes
- Freezing the egg rolls before frying helps them maintain their shape and prevents leakage.
- Fry in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan and ensure even cooking.
- Drain on a drying rack to maintain crispiness.
- Can be served with soy sauce or sweet chili sauce for dipping.
- Ground chicken, turkey, or pork can be substituted for ground beef.
- Adjust Sriracha for desired spice level.
