   • Begin by cubing the pork or chicken into small 1/2 inch pieces, ensuring they are evenly sized for even cooking.
   • Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add the cubed pork or chicken.
   • Stir-fry the meat until it’s cooked through and golden brown, ensuring it’s cooked to perfection.
   • Season the meat with salt, pepper, and soy sauce to taste, infusing it with delicious flavors.

2. Assemble the Egg Rolls:

   • Once the meat has cooked, remove it from the heat and allow it to cool slightly.
   • Lay out the egg roll wrappers on a clean surface, ready for filling.
   • Place a slice of cheddar and mozzarella cheese onto each egg roll wrapper, creating a cheesy base for the filling.
   • Spoon a generous portion of the cooked meat onto each wrapper, spreading it evenly over the cheese.

3. Roll and Seal:

   • To roll the egg rolls, fold the bottom corner of each wrapper over the filling, then fold in the sides.
   • Roll the wrapper tightly, ensuring the filling is secure inside.
   • Seal the edges of the wrapper with a dab of water, ensuring they stay closed during frying.

4. Fry to Perfection:

   • Heat oil in a deep skillet or fryer until it reaches a temperature of 350°F (175°C).
   • Carefully place the assembled egg rolls into the hot oil, working in batches to avoid overcrowding.
