Method
 

  1. In a large bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, julienned carrot, shredded chicken (if using), chopped green onions, minced garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine.
  2. Place an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with one corner facing you. Spoon about 2-3 tablespoons of the filling onto the wrapper.
  3. Fold the bottom corner of the wrapper over the filling, then fold in the sides, and roll it up tightly. Use a bit of water to seal the edges of the wrapper.
  4. Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan or wok over medium heat. Carefully place the egg rolls seam-side down into the hot oil and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side.
  5. Remove the egg rolls from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  6. Serve the Chinese Egg Rolls hot with sweet and sour sauce or soy sauce for dipping.
