In a large mixing bowl, combine the pulled pork with thinly sliced cabbage, shredded carrots, and a bit of green onion for brightness. Add a spoonful of BBQ sauce to tie the filling together with sweet and smoky depth.
Place an egg roll wrapper on a flat surface with one corner pointing toward you. Spoon 2–3 tablespoons of filling into the center. Fold the bottom corner up over the filling, then fold in the sides, and roll tightly, sealing the edge with a dab of water.
Arrange the egg rolls on a parchment-lined baking sheet and brush or spray lightly with oil. Bake at 400°F for about 12–15 minutes, turning halfway through, until crispy and golden.
If you love a more indulgent finish, fry your egg rolls instead of baking them. Heat about an inch of canola or peanut oil in a deep skillet to 350°F. Fry the egg rolls in small batches for 2–3 minutes per side until they’re golden and crisp. Drain them on paper towels before serving.
For dipping, BBQ sauce is a natural match, but you can also try honey mustard, chipotle mayo, or even a sweet chili sauce for a flavor twist.
One of the best things about this pulled pork egg roll recipe is how easily it can be made ahead of time and stored for later. Once your egg rolls are assembled but before cooking, arrange them in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet and place in the freezer for 1–2 hours, or until firm. Transfer the frozen rolls to a freezer-safe bag or airtight container, separating layers with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Properly stored, they’ll keep their flavor and texture for up to two months.
When you’re ready to serve, there’s no need to thaw. For baking, place frozen egg rolls on a lined baking sheet, brush or spray lightly with oil, and bake at 425°F for about 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy. For frying, heat about an inch of canola or peanut oil to 350°F and fry for 4–6 minutes total, turning as needed, until evenly browned. Either way, you’ll have a hot, crispy appetizer in minutes — perfect for unexpected guests or a quick game-day snack.
Pulled pork egg rolls store beautifully, even if it’s unlikely there will be any left! Allow them to cool completely, then store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze them in a single layer before transferring to a freezer bag—they’ll keep for up to 2 months. Reheat in the oven or air fryer until hot and crisp.
