– 1 teaspoon ground ginger (adjust to taste)
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder (adjust to taste)
– 1 onion, finely chopped
– 1 green bell pepper, finely chopped

**For the Egg Rolls:**
– Egg roll wrappers (about 10-12)
– 1 egg, beaten (for sealing)
– Oil for frying (vegetable or canola)
**Instructions:**
1. **Prepare the Filling:**
– **Cook the Meat:** Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground pork or beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. Drain any excess fat.
– **Add Vegetables:** Add the onion, green bell pepper, and mushrooms to the skillet. Cook until the vegetables are softened, about 5-7 minutes.
– **Season:** Stir in the ground ginger, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 2 minutes. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
– **Add Cheese:** Once the mixture has cooled a bit, stir in the shredded cheese until well combined.
2. **Assemble the Egg Rolls:**
– **Prepare Wrappers:** Lay an egg roll wrapper on a flat surface with one corner pointing towards you.
– **Add Filling:** Spoon a couple of tablespoons of the filling mixture onto the wrapper, near the corner closest to you.
– **Roll Up:** Fold the sides of the wrapper over the filling, then roll it up tightly, sealing the top corner with a bit of beaten egg.
3. **Fry the Egg Rolls:**
– **Heat Oil:** Heat about 2 inches of oil in a deep skillet or frying pan over medium heat to 350°F (175°C).
– **Fry Egg Rolls:** Fry the egg rolls in batches, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side.
– **Drain:** Remove the egg rolls from the oil and drain on paper towels.
4. **Serve:**
– Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch, barbecue sauce, or a spicy sriracha mayo.
