Ingredients
1 lb ground beef
1 cup shredded pepper jack cheese
1/2 cup diced red bell pepper
1/2 cup shredded red cabbage
1/4 cup sliced green onions
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon brown sugar
12 egg roll wrappers
2 cups vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
1. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook 1 lb ground beef until no longer pink.
2. Add 2 minced garlic cloves, 1/2 cup diced red bell pepper, and 1/2 cup shredded red cabbage.
3. Stir in 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, and 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning. Cook 3–4 minutes until veggies soften slightly. Let cool.
4. Stir in 1 cup shredded pepper jack cheese and 1/4 cup sliced green onions until evenly combined.
5. Lay out an egg roll wrapper like a diamond. Add 2 tablespoons filling near the bottom. Fold, tuck sides, and roll tightly. Seal with water. Repeat for 12 rolls.
6. Heat 2 cups vegetable oil to 350°F in a deep skillet or fryer.
7. Fry 3–4 egg rolls at a time for 3–4 minutes each, until golden and crispy.
8. Drain on paper towels. Serve hot with dipping sauce.
Notes
Let the filling cool before adding cheese to avoid melting too soon.
Seal egg rolls well to prevent leakage during frying.
For extra crispiness, don’t overcrowd the oil when frying.
