Equipment
Ingredients
- 3-4 loosely packed cups finely shredded cabbage
- ½ cup shredded carrots
- ½ cup finely diced green onions
- 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
- 1 clove fresh garlic diced
- ½ teaspoon salt
- dash black pepper
- 2 Tablespoons soy sauce mixed with 1 tablespoon water
- 1 in package egg roll not wonton wrappers
- oil for frying I use peanut but any frying oil works
Instructions
- Finely grate the ginger and garlic on a box grater or microplane.
- In a large skillet, add a tablespoon of oil and heat over medium high until shimmery.
- Add diced ginger and garlic to pan.
- Cook 30 seconds until fragrant but not browned, then add the cabbage, carrots, and onions and toss well to mix.
- Add salt and pepper.
- Cook 5-7 minutes until vegetables are soft, fragrant, and lightly browned.
- Add the soy sauce and water and toss well with cabbage and vegetables.
- Cook until the liquid evaporates - for just a few minutes. Do not burn.
- Remove from heat and let cool so you don't burn hands when rolling egg rolls.
- Using one egg roll wrapper at a time, lay the wrapper in front of you so it looks like a diamond.
- Add about 3 tablespoons of filling to the center and roll up the point closest to you into the middle.
- Tuck in the sides as you continue to roll to the other point, similar to rolling a burrito.
- Seal the open edge by rubbing a little but of water on the inside of the seam with your fingers. Pinch in place if needed.
- Bring oil to 350 degrees in a medium pot or deep fryer.
- Cook egg rolls a few at a time, turning frequently until crispy and golden--about 6-7 minutes each.
- Remove from oil carefully, with hands and face far from pan or fryer.
- Set egg rolls on paper towels to drain any excess oil.
- Serve hot with sweet and sour sauce, spicy mustard, or Duck sauce.
- Makes 14-16 egg rolls.
