Crispy Egg Rolls Recipes

BEST EGG ROLLS

Steps:

• Season pork with ginger and garlic powder and mix thoroughly. Heat mixture in a medium skillet, stirring, until pork is cooked through and no longer pink. Set aside.
• In another large skillet heat oil to about 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) or medium high heat. While oil is heating, combine flour and water in a bowl until they form a paste. In a separate bowl combine the cabbage, carrots and reserved pork mixture. Mix all together.
• Lay out one egg roll skin with a corner pointed toward you. Place about a 1/4 to 1/3 cup of the cabbage, carrot and pork mixture on egg roll paper and fold corner up over the mixture. Fold left and right corners toward the center and continue to roll. Brush a bit of the flour paste on the final corner to help seal the egg roll.
• Place egg rolls into heated oil and fry, turning occasionally, until golden brown. Remove from oil and drain on paper towels or rack. Put on serving plate and top with sesame seeds if desired.

CRISPY BAKED EGG ROLLS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°.
• Heat 1/4 cup water in a wok until simmering; cook the onion, garlic, and ginger for about 5 minutes or until the onion is soft but not browned.
• Add in the cabbage, celery, bamboo shoots, water chestnuts, and mushrooms; cook about 8 minutes or until the vegetables are softened.
• Remove wok from heat; add in the soy sauce, rice wine, and honey; toss well.
• Place the mixture in a colander over a bowl and let stand 10 minutes to drain of any excess moisture.
• Make sure your work surface is dry; stack the egg roll wrappers with 1 corner pointing away from you.
• Have a small bowl of water ready; spoon 1/4 cup of filling into the center of each wrapper.
• Lightly brush the edges of the wrapper with water.
• Fold the side corners to the center, covering the filling; next bring the bottom corner to the center, tuck slightly under the filling and continue to roll the wrapper into a cylinder, sealing the top corner by moistening it slightly with water and pressing it down.
• Place the egg rolls, seam sides down, on two nonstick baking pans without crowding; lightly brush eggrolls with sesame oil.
• Bakein the center of the oven, turning once, for 15-20 minutes or until golden and crisp.
• Remove from the oven and serve immediately.
