## **Instructions**
### **1. Cook the Filling**
– In a large pan or wok, cook **ground beef** over medium heat until browned. Drain excess fat.
– Add **garlic, ginger, soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, and sesame oil**. Stir well.
– Toss in **cabbage, carrots, green onions, and bean sprouts**. Cook for 3-4 minutes until veggies soften slightly.
– If the mixture is too watery, mix **cornstarch + water** and stir into the filling to thicken. Let cool slightly.
### **2. Wrap the Egg Rolls**
– Lay an **egg roll wrapper** in a diamond shape. Place **2-3 tbsp of filling** near the bottom corner.
– Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides.
– Roll tightly, sealing the top corner with a dab of **beaten egg**. Repeat with remaining wrappers.
### **3. Fry Until Golden & Crispy**
– Heat **oil (about 1-2 inches deep)** in a deep pan to **350°F (175°C)**.
– Fry egg rolls in batches for **2-3 minutes per side** until golden brown.
– Drain on a wire rack or paper towels.
### **4. Bake or Air Fry (Healthier Option)**
– For a lighter version, brush rolls with oil and **bake at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 mins**, flipping halfway.
– Or **air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 8-10 mins**, spraying lightly with oil.

## **Tips for Perfect Beef Egg Rolls**
✅ **Keep wrappers moist** – Cover with a damp towel to prevent drying.
✅ **Don’t overfill** – Too much filling can cause bursting.
✅ **Double fry for extra crispiness** – Fry once, cool, then fry again before serving.
✅ **Freeze uncooked rolls** – Store in a single layer, then fry straight from frozen (add 1-2 extra minutes).
