1. Cook ground beef or pork in a skillet until browned. Drain well.
2. Add garlic, green onions, shredded carrots, cabbage, and bean sprouts. Cook several minutes until vegetables soften slightly.
3. Stir soy sauce into the meat and vegetable mixture. Remove from heat.
4. Heat oil in a wok or skillet to about 375°F (oil should be about 1 inch deep).
5. Place a wonton wrapper on a flat surface. Add about 1 tablespoon of filling to the center.
6. Moisten edges with water. Fold bottom edge over filling, tuck in sides, and roll tightly to seal.
7. Fry egg rolls 3–4 minutes, turning once or twice, until golden brown.
8. Drain on paper towels and repeat with remaining egg rolls.

Kid-Friendly Tips

• Kids love helping with rolling and sealing the wrappers.
• Younger kids should stay away from hot oil—adults handle frying.
• Set up a rolling station to make this a fun assembly-line activity.

Notes

Fillings are flexible—swap meats or add mushrooms, peppers, or extra vegetables. Serve with sweet and sour sauce, soy sauce, or peanut sauce.
