After one taste, my son rushed over and asked for the recipe.

Southern style crispy homemade egg rolls are a delightful twist on the traditional Asian favorite, bringing a comforting and familiar taste to the table. These egg rolls are filled with a savory mixture of seasoned ground pork, cabbage, and carrots, all wrapped up in a crispy shell. Perfect for family gatherings or a fun dinner night, they offer a taste of the South with each bite. Making these at home allows you to enjoy them fresh and hot, and they’re sure to be a hit with both kids and adults alike.

These crispy egg rolls pair wonderfully with a side of coleslaw or a fresh green salad to balance the flavors. You might also consider serving them with a tangy dipping sauce, like sweet chili or a homemade honey mustard, to complement the savory filling. For a heartier meal, add a side of baked beans or cornbread to bring out the Southern charm.
