Egg Rolls originated from Newyork and are mainly served in Chinese cuisine. Egg rolls are served as deep-fried as well as baked appetizers. They are large and cylindrical in shape. These rolls are served as a savory item stuffed with shredded cabbage, chopped egg, and other different fillings wrapped in wheat flour skin which is fried in deep hot oil and even baked.

INSTRUCTIONS:
- Prep the vegetables first. You need to grate the ginger by using the small hole of a cheese grater. Now moving on to the carrots, peel them and grate them on a large-holed grater. Mince or chop the garlic (it’s preferable to use fresh garlic) now clean and cut the green onions and mushrooms into slices. Now peel the leaves of the cabbage from the outer side and cut it into quarters, remove the core and then shred it into thin slices.
- Now put the cornstarch in soy sauce and dissolve it. Add that liquid to the wok and stir until the vegetable is all coated with it. The heat will make the mixture thick and creates a soy sauce glaze to it. Drizzle some sesame oil on top and stir it some more. Turn the head off. To give the mixture a taste, add the soy sauce and sesame oil to your liking. Now set aside the mixture in a bowl.
- Now start to fill and roll the egg rolls. Wrap one roll at a time. On a clean surface place one wrap and place about ¼ cup of the cabbage mixture just in the center of the roll close to one of the corners of the squared shape roll. Roll the corners up and over the filling. Repeat the same with the other end. Use the water as glue to stick the corners of the wrap.
