A simple egg roll made with mostly basic ingredients. It may not be authentic , and nothing fancy, but a nice recipe to complete a stir fry meal or as an appetizer. They can also be frozen uncooked, then fried just prior to serving! Read more ! Ingredients:
1lb ground pork(not sausage) |
1 bag cole slaw mix |
3-4 cloves garlic, minced |
1/2 bag bean sprouts(i think this would be about 4oz or so) |
4-6 green onions, sliced(depending on size of each onion |
2t soy sauce(unless you are in the south and can get dale's, then get that ;) |
2t chinese 5 spice blend |
dash of red pepper flakes or hot sauce |
dash sesame oil(optional, but it's a huge flavor boost---a couple tsp sesame seeds can be toasted and subbed, too) |
1-2t each salt and fresh ground pepper(more to taste, please taste the filling before assembling the egg rolls...add seasonings as desired and for taste) |
1 package egg roll wrappers(15-20) |
peanut oil for frying |
Directions:
1. Brown pork in small amount of oil adding garlic and green onions about halfway through cooking.
2. Once done, add cabbage mix and cook about 3-5 minutes until cabbage cooks down and is tender.
3. Add remaining ingredients(other than the wrappers and frying oil, of course ;) and continue to cook on low heat another few minutes to blend flavor.
4. Again, PLEASE taste filling mixture before proceeding...egg rolls can be sooooooo good, but if you are just a bit short on seasoning, they will be very bland. If you aren't afraid of MSG, add a dash of it, too! :)
5. Egg Rolls aren't hard to roll, but if you've never done it, it can be intimidating. I will try to give the best directions I can, and I am including photos, but if there are any questions, please ask!
6. Place one egg roll wrapper in front of you, with a corner facing you directly.
7. Put several T filling about 1 inch in front of that corner and extend toward both edges. See Photo
8. Fold close corner up and just over filling. See Photo
9. Tuck and fold one end over corner that just covered filling, then repeat with other side. See Photo
10. Then, just roll the whole thing away from you until you get to end. See Photo
11. Just at the end, before folding final corner over roll, WET edge of that corner then, fold over. See Photo
12. Repeat with remaining filling and wrappers.
13. Now, you can freeze these, as is, by wrapping tightly in freezer paper or cling and placing in good freezer bag.
14. Or, heat about 3-4 inches peanut oil in dutch oven(I use my cast iron, of course ;), to about 350 degrees and fry 2-3 at a time, about 2 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. See Photo
15. Drain on brown paper or paper towels
16. Serve with various dipping sauces, like Hot Chinese Mustard, Sweet and Hot Thai Chili Sauce, soy, sweet and sour, etc.
