Start by preparing the filling for the egg rolls.

Use a little vegetable oil in the pan to begin cooking the ground pork.

Season the ground pork with salt, Chinese five spice, and white pepper.

Cook the pork until it is golden brown, breaking it into small pieces.

In a separate pot, boil the coleslaw mix for about 3 minutes to slightly cook it, then strain it to remove excess water.

Wring out the cabbage and carrots with your hands or cheesecloth to ensure they are not too wet.

Chop the green parts of the green onion and a bit of the whites for flavor.

Chop the cooked shrimp into small pieces.

Once the pork is cooked, add a tablespoon of oyster sauce and a little soy sauce to the pork, allowing it to caramelize.

Mix the drained cabbage and carrots, chopped shrimp, and green onion into the pork mixture.

Cool the filling in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes before using it to fill the egg roll wrappers.

Prepare a cornstarch slurry with cornstarch and water to thicken the sauce for duck sauce.

Mix apricot preserves with less than half a cup of cold water and add Chinese five spice and sugar to taste for the duck sauce.

Turn off the heat once the duck sauce is ready.
