  1. First, you need to fry your veggies. Heat up the sesame oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and add the ginger and garlic. for 1 minute.
  2. Add the cabbage, carrot, and scallions (cook for 5 minutes), or until the vegetables are tender.
  3. Stir in the soy sauce, sugar, salt, and ground white pepper and cook for 1 minute. Turn the heat off and transfer the vegetables to a bowl. Let them cool for 10 minutes.

  5. 2 tablespoons of the vegetable mixture and place it in the center of the wrapper. Spread the mixture until there are about 2 inches of wrapper left free on each side.
  6. Take the edge of the wrapper facing you and fold it over the filling. Tightly roll until you reach the center of the wrapper.
  7. Tightly fold each side of the wrapper toward the center (where the filling is) and continue rolling until you reach the top corner.
  8. Seal the top of the wrapper by wetting the corner with a little water. Place the egg roll on a plate with the top corner facing down. Do the same for the other 11 egg rolls.
  9. Put enough oil in a skillet to cover the surface by about half an inch. Turn the heat to medium-high and when the oil is very hot, almost smoking, carefully place a few egg rolls in the skillet making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
