Crispy Meat-Filled Dumpling Rolls

Ingredients:

For the filling:

• 300g ground pork (or beef/chicken)

• 1 cup finely chopped cabbage or napa cabbage

• 2-3 green onions, finely chopped

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 tsp grated ginger

• 1 tbsp soy sauce

• 1 tbsp oyster sauce (optional)

• 1 tsp sesame oil

• 1/2 tsp ground black pepper

• 1/2 tsp salt (adjust to taste)

• 1 tsp sugar (optional)

• 1 tbsp cornstarch (to bind)

For the rolls:

• Dumpling wrappers or spring roll wrappers (about 20-25 pieces)

• Oil for deep frying

For dipping sauce (optional):

• Soy sauce

• Rice vinegar

• Chili flakes or chili sauce

• Sesame oil

Instructions:

1. Prepare the filling:

   • In a large bowl, combine the ground meat, chopped cabbage, green onions, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, pepper, salt, sugar, and cornstarch.

   • Mix well until fully combined and the mixture is sticky enough to hold together.

2. Assemble the rolls:

   • Lay one wrapper on a clean flat surface.

   • Place about 1-2 tablespoons of the meat filling near one edge of the wrapper.

   • Fold the sides over the filling, then roll tightly toward the opposite edge, sealing the edge with a little water to keep it closed.

   • Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.

3. Fry the rolls:

   • Heat oil in a deep pan or fryer to 350°F (175°C).

   • Fry the rolls in batches, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy (about 3-5 minutes).

   • Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

4. Serve:

   • Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
