Ingredients
Scale

- 1 pound (1 lb) ground beef
Vegetables and Aromatics:
- 2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger
- 2 garlic cloves, grated or minced
- 2 cups mixed frozen vegetables (or a fresh blend of carrots, broccoli, and bell peppers)
Cooking and Seasoning Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Ty Ling orange ginger glaze
- 2 teaspoons Ty Ling hot mustard Chinese style
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- 12–14 egg roll wrappers
Sauce Ingredients:
- ⅓ cup water
- 1 tablespoon Ty Ling orange ginger glaze
- 2 teaspoons Ty Ling hot mustard Chinese style
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- ½ teaspoon chili pepper flakes
Instructions
- Prepare the dipping sauce by thoroughly whisking all components in a compact vessel until smoothly combined, then set aside at room temperature.
- Warm the kitchen oven to a precise 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for optimal crispiness.
- Heat olive oil in a substantial skillet over medium-high temperature, allowing the oil to shimmer and become fragrant.
- Introduce ground beef into the heated pan, breaking it into fine crumbles and browning thoroughly for complete caramelization.
- Incorporate freshly grated ginger and minced garlic, stirring vigorously to release their aromatic essential oils.
- Tumble chopped vegetables into the meat mixture, sautéing until they reach a tender yet slightly crisp consistency.
- Drizzle hot mustard and orange ginger glaze over the filling, seasoning with salt and pepper to enhance the flavor profile.
- Lay out egg roll wrappers on a clean surface, dampening edges with water to ensure secure sealing.
- Spoon a generous portion of the beef and vegetable mixture into the center of each wrapper, folding corners inward and rolling tightly like a compact parcel.
- Arrange assembled egg rolls on the prepared baking sheet, brushing exterior with a light coating of sesame or olive oil for golden crispness.
- Slide the pan into the preheated oven, rotating midway through cooking to ensure even browning and crisp texture.
- Remove when egg rolls display a rich golden-brown exterior, allowing brief cooling before drizzling with reserved sauce and serving immediately.
Notes
- Prep like a pro by having all ingredients measured and chopped before starting cooking to streamline the entire process.
- Avoid overfilling egg roll wrappers to prevent tearing and ensure even, crispy baking results.
- Sesame oil adds an extra layer of authentic Asian flavor when brushing egg rolls before baking.
- Ensure ground beef is thoroughly browned to develop deep, rich flavors and eliminate any potential food safety concerns.
- Control moisture by draining excess liquid from vegetables and meat mixture to maintain wrapper crispiness.
- Experiment with additional vegetables like water chestnuts or bamboo shoots for extra texture and exciting flavor variations.
