- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 {2-inch) piece fresh ginger, peeled and minced

- 1 carrot, julienned
- 1 large red bell pepper, julienned
- 1 cup thinly sliced Napa cabbage

- 30 square wonton wrappers
- Soy Sesame Dipping Sauce, recipe follows
- 6 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1/4 cup rice vinegar
- 2 teaspoons Asian (toasted) sesame oil
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- To make the egg roll, heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat.
- Add the ginger and garlic and cook, stirring until slightly softened, about 2 minutes.
- Add the pork and stir until it turns white, about 2 minutes.
- Transfer the pork to a plate and set aside.
- Add the scallions, carrot, and red pepper to the skillet.
- Cook, stirring, until slightly softened, about 2 minutes.
- Add the cabbage, stock, and soy sauce.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until the liquid has evaporated and the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes.
- Return the pork to the skillet and let the contents of the skillet cool to room temperature.
- You should have about 2 cups.
- Lay the wrappers flat on a work surface.
- Brush the edges lightly with water.
- Top with about 1 tablespoon of the filling and roll into a cylinder, tucking in the sides and pressing the edges to seal.
- (The egg rolls can be frozen at this point.)
- Heat the remaining olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until almost smoking.
- Working in batches, add the rolls and cook, turning often with tongs, until golden brown on all sides, 5 to 7 minutes.
- Cool slightly before serving.
- To make the dipping sauce, combine the soy sauce, vinegar, sesame oil, and sugar in a small bowl.
- Stir well and serve on the side with the rolls.
