Instructions
Heat 3 tablespoons oil in a wok over high heat until smoking.
Add half of cabbage, season with salt, and cook, stirring and tossing occasionally, until softened and wilted, about 2 minutes.
Add remaining cabbage and cook, stirring occasionally, until wilted.
Add water to cover, bring to a boil, reduce to a bare simmer, cover, and cook for 1 hour, adding more water as necessary.
Add sliced pork and stir around to distribute. Continue to simmer for 1 more hour, adding water as necessary, until the cabbage is extremely tender and liquid is completely reduced.
Add cornstarch slurry and let the mixture come to a simmer, cooking until the mixture is thickened, about 3 minutes.
Transfer to a large bowl.
Wrap spring rolls using this technique, using about 3 tablespoons of filling per roll.
Once all the spring rolls are made, heat oil in the wok to 375 F.
Add 4 to 6 rolls and cook, agitating occasionally with a wire mesh spider, until golden brown and crisp, about 5 minutes.
Drain on paper towels and keep warm. Repeat with remaining egg rolls.
Serve immediately with vinegar or duck sauce for dipping.
