What are Jack in the Box Egg Rolls All About?

Crispy golden brown fried rolls – Jack in the Box Egg Rolls are usually filled with seasoned pork, cabbage, carrots, and onions. Crisp and golden on the outside, they are bursting with flavor inside, and the result is a take-out feel of that perfect option. With their equally crispy wrappers and fillings, they strike you every time.

Ingredients

For the filling:

• 1/2 lb ground pork
• 1 cup shredded cabbage
• 1/2 cup shredded carrots
• 1/4 cup chopped green onions
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tsp sesame oil
• 1/2 tsp ground ginger
• 1/4 tsp black pepper

For the wrappers & frying:

• 12 egg roll wrappers
• 1 egg (beaten, for sealing)
• Vegetable oil (for frying)

For dipping:

• Sweet and sour sauce or soy sauce

Instructions

1. Take minced pork and cook it in a pan until brown. Drain off all excess grease.
2. To this, add chopped cabbage, grated carrots, chopped green onions, diced garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, grated ginger, and pepper. Stir-fry for another 3-4 minutes until vegetables have softened. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
3. Lay an egg roll wrapper on a flat surface in front of you like a diamond. Fill the middle with 2-3 tablespoons of the filling.
4. Fold over the lower corner onto the filling, then fold in the sides, and roll tightly. Use the edge of the roll to seal it with some egg wash.
5. Heat oil in a deep skillet or fryer to 350°F (175°C). Deep fry egg rolls in batches for 3-4 minutes until they are golden and crispy.
6. Drain on paper towels and serve hot with dipping sauce.
