My sister introduced me to homemade egg rolls with this recipe. It's more time consuming than other recipes I make, but worth it. If you've got helpers to help roll them, that saves a lot of time. Usually after we've stir-fried all the ingredients, we put the bowl in the middle of the table, give everybody a spoon, and let everyone roll their own. Kids love it!
Ingredients:
5 tablespoons oil
1 green onion, chopped fine
1/2 lb pork, minced, mixed with
1 teaspoon oil, and
1 teaspoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon sugar
1 tablespoon cooking sherry
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 head cabbage, shredded
1/4 cup bamboo shoot, shredded
1/2 lb bean sprouts
20 egg roll wraps
1 tablespoon cornstarch, dissolved in 2 tablespoons water
4 cups oil, for deep-frying
Directions:
1. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in wok or frying pan. Stir-fry green onion 30 seconds or until aroma comes.
2. Add pork. Stir-fry 1 minutes until color changes. Add 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 teaspoon sugar, and 1 tablespoon cooking sherry. Cook 1 minute. Remove.
3. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in wok or frying pan. Stir-fry cabbage and bamboo shoots 1 minute. Remove.
