Ingredients
Instructions
Season the Pork Filling
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, minced ginger, and chopped scallions. Add salt, white pepper, and a mixture of cornstarch and water. Stir vigorously in one direction until the filling becomes sticky and well-combined.
Create the Egg Sheets
Beat the eggs with a pinch of salt. Lightly oil a non-stick frying pan and pour in a thin layer of egg batter, swirling to coat the bottom. Cook over low heat until just set but not browned, then carefully slide the sheet onto a plate. Repeat until all batter is used.
Roll the Egg Rolls
Place a spoonful of the seasoned pork mixture onto one end of an egg sheet. Fold the edge over the filling, then roll it up tightly like a cigar. Place the roll seam-side down on a heatproof plate.
Steam Until Cooked
Set up a steamer over boiling water. Place the plate of egg rolls into the steamer, cover, and steam for about 10 to 12 minutes until the pork is fully cooked through. Serve warm with a dipping sauce if desired.
