Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the Filling: Heat a large pan over medium-high heat. Add lean ground beef, sesame oil, minced garlic, and fresh ginger. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until browned. Drain excess fat, then stir in brown sugar, soy sauce, and Sriracha. Cook for 2-3 minutes until shiny and thickened.
  2. Cook Vegetables: In the same pan, add matchstick carrots and cook for 3-4 minutes until slightly softened. Mix with beef mixture and set aside to cool.
  3. Assemble Egg Rolls: Lay out egg roll wrappers. Place a square of napa cabbage and a spoonful of beef and carrot mixture on each. Moisten edges, fold in sides, and roll tightly. Repeat with all filling.
  4. Freeze Egg Rolls: Arrange assembled egg rolls on a cookie sheet and freeze for 30 minutes.
  5. Fry Egg Rolls: Heat oil in a deep fryer or pot to 350°F. Fry egg rolls for 3-4 minutes until golden brown. Remove and drain on a rack.
  6. Serve and Enjoy: Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauces.
