Heat about 2 tbsp of oil in a wide pan. Add the garlic and onion and cooked until softened.
Add the ground pork and cook, breaking apart the clumps, until browned.
Add the mixed vegetables. Cook until the vegetables are tender, about 5-8 minutes. Add the soy sauce and sesame oil and toss the ingredients to distribute.
Add the shredded cabbage and allow to cook for about 2 minutes more, until the cabbage is tender-crisp. Add salt and pepper and cook for 2-3 minutes more. Taste and season as needed. Let this cool completely.

On a clean, flat surface or a large plate, lay an egg roll wrapper so that it is facing you in a diamond shape position.
Spoon about 1½ to 2 tbsp. of pork filing horizontally in the center of the wrapper.
Fold the bottom flap over to the center to cover the filling. Fold the 2 side flaps to the center. Roll the wrapper forward to form a log. Dab some water on the seams to seal. Repeat with the remaining pork filling.

Heat about 2 inches of oil in a heavy bottom saucepan ( you can also use a deep fryer). Fry the pork egg rolls in batches until golden and crispy.
Drain the cooked egg rolls on a wire rack set above a baking pan. Serve with sweet chili dipping sauce.

DO not overcrowd the pan during frying. This ensures that the pork egg rolls get golden and crisp and not soggy.
Egg roll wrappers are not the same as spring roll wrappers. Make sure you check the label on the packaging.
The wrappers I used are 5 inches square. With this size I am able to yield 20-22 average size egg rolls. The number of your yield will depend on how large your wrappers are.
You can freeze the uncooked, wrapped egg rolls for up to a month. Just place them in a thick freezer bag and seal well. To cook, deep fry from frozen until golden and crisp.
