CHINESE EGG ROLLS

Steps:

• Make filling:
• Stir together oyster sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil, sugar, and salt in a small bowl until sugar and salt are dissolved.
• Heat a dry 12-inch heavy skillet (not nonstick) over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then add 2 tablespoons peanut oil, swirling skillet to coat. Stir-fry ginger, garlic, and scallions until scallions are wilted, about 1 minute. Add celery, carrots, and mushrooms and stir-fry until vegetables are softened, 4 to 6 minutes. Push vegetables toward edge of skillet, then add shrimp to center and stir-fry until shrimp are just cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes. Add pork and oyster sauce mixture and stir together all ingredients in skillet until combined. Season with salt and transfer to a large shallow bowl. Cool, stirring occasionally, about 30 minutes.
• Make egg rolls:
• Gently peel apart wrappers to separate if necessary (wrappers may not be perfectly square).
• Put 1 wrapper on a work surface, arranging wrapper with a corner nearest you and keeping remaining wrappers covered with plastic wrap. Stir filling, then spread a scant 1/4 cup filling horizontally across center of wrapper to form a 4-inch log. Fold bottom corner over filling, then fold in side corners. Brush top corner with egg and roll up wrapper tightly to enclose filling, sealing roll closed with top corner. Transfer roll, seam side down, to a paper-towel-lined baking sheet and loosely cover with plastic wrap. Make more egg rolls in same manner, transferring to baking sheet as formed (you may have some filling left over).
• Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 250°F. Line a large colander with paper towels. Heat 1 inch peanut oil in a 5- to 6-quart wide heavy pot until it registers 350°F on thermometer, then fry 4 or 5 egg rolls (don't crowd pot), turning with a slotted spoon, until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer with slotted spoon to colander and drain rolls upright 2 to 3 minutes, then keep warm on a rack set on a large baking sheet in oven. Fry remaining egg rolls in batches, transferring to colander and then to rack in oven.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Put the cabbage, carrots, and celery into the boiling water and cook for about 2 minutes. Transfer the veggies to an ice bath and drain. Thoroughly squeeze out all the excess water from the vegetables (you can put the drained veggies in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out the water). This is a very important step because if the filling is too wet, you will have a wet filling and soggy egg rolls!
• Once dry, transfer the veggies to a large mixing bowl. Add the scallions, salt, sugar, sesame oil, 2 tablespoons oil, five spice powder (if using), white pepper, roast pork, and cooked shrimp (if using). Toss everything together. The filling is ready to be wrapped!
• To wrap the egg rolls, take a small fistful of filling, squeeze it a little in your hand until it is compressed together, and place it on the wrapper. The wrapping method is similar to that of a burrito. Just add a thin layer of egg to make sure it stays sealed. Line them up on a lightly floured surface, and continue assembling until you run out of ingredients.
• In a small pot, heat oil to 325 degrees. You don't need too much-just enough to submerge the egg rolls. Carefully place a couple egg rolls into the oil, and fry them for about 5 minutes until golden brown. Keep them moving in the oil to make sure they fry evenly.
• Cool slightly and serve! Freeze leftovers in freezer bags and reheat them in the oven at 350 degrees, until crispy.

EGG ROLLS

Steps:

• Cut cabbage into 4 wedges, remove heart & chop very finely (as for coleslaw).
• Roughly chop julienne carrots & finely chop green onions.
• Throw all ingredients into mixer & mix on low for 1 or 2 minutes (if you don't have a mixer just mix by hand but squeeze & crush cabbage so it's soft).
• Remove 1/4 of your mix to a separate bowl & make 5 egg rolls to check that you are putting an equal amount of filling into each, this ensures that you don't run out of filling before wrappers.
• Place the pile of egg roll wrappers in a diamond shape in front of you with a small bowl or glass of water & just use your finger moisten the top two edges of the wrapper with water.
• Take a heaped desert spoon of mixture & place it in the center of the wrapper.
• Bring the bottom of the wrapper up to the top over the filling & lightly pull back so that you use the wrapper to form the filling into a log & so the filling is just below the center of the wrapper with the bottom of wrapper covering most of the filling.
• Flip the sides of the wrapper in & over the bottom of the wrapper then roll the whole thing forward to finish & seal the roll.
• Fry the egg rolls in small batches of 4 to 6, moving them constantly until they are golden brown, float well to the top of oil or reach internal temp of 155°F.

Add shrimp and vegetable mixture to wok and stir fry for 1 minute. Add garlic, ginger, and salt, and stir fry for another minute. Pour the reserved sauce over the vegetables, toss well to mix, and stir fry about 30 seconds. Remove from the heat, transfer to a bowl, and set aside to cool. (At this point, the filling can be covered and refrigerated for up to 1 day).
• Drain filling of any excess liquid. Place the egg roll skins, one at a time so they don't dry out, on a flat surface. Arrange wrapper like a diamond with a corner facing you. Place about 1/4 cup of filling in the lower part of the diamond, leaving about 1 inch of wrapper on either side. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, roll up half way, then fold the sides over. Coat the top corner of the wrapper with egg, then seal and press to fully enclose. Arrange egg rolls on a baking sheet dusted with cornstarch, covered with a dry towel, until all the egg rolls are stuffed. (Do not refrigerate or the wrappers will crack.) Heat the peanut oil to deep-fry temperature (325 degrees F) in a wok or deep skillet. Fry the rolls until golden brown all over, about 2 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels and serve warm with Plum Sauce and Hot Mustard.

SOUTHWESTERN EGG ROLLS

Steps:

• For the sauce: Combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, vinegar, granulated garlic, onion powder, avocado, 2 tablespoons water, a large pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper in a blender. Blend until completely smooth. Transfer to a medium bowl and stir in the dill and parsley. Season with additional salt and pepper if needed. The texture should be similar to ranch salad dressing. (If the sauce is very thick, thin it out with 1 to 2 tablespoons of additional water.) Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve.
• For the egg rolls: Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat for 5 minutes. Rub the chicken breasts with 1 tablespoon oil and sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Cook the chicken until deep grill marks appear, about 8 minutes. Flip and continue cooking until deep grill marks appear and the internal temperature on an instant-read thermometer in the thickest part of the breast registers 165 degrees F, about 8 minutes more. Remove to a cutting board, allow to cool slightly and cut into small pieces.
• Heat the remaining tablespoon oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the bell pepper, a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper and cook, stirring, until crisp-tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the beans, corn, spinach, cumin, chipotle powder, cayenne, 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Cook, stirring, until the vegetables and beans are coated in the spices and warmed through, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl and fold in the chicken, pickled jalapenos, parsley and scallions. Taste and season with additional salt and pepper if needed. Allow the mixture to cool completely.
• Stack the tortillas on a large microwave-safe plate and cover with a damp paper towel. Microwave until just warmed though. (This will make the tortillas easier to roll.) Put a warm tortilla on a clean, flat surface (keep the remaining tortillas covered with the damp paper towels) and put 1/2 cup of the filling in the center. Spread the filling out into a 4 1/2-inch long log. Tightly fold the bottom of the tortilla (the part that is closest to you) over the filling, fold both ends over then roll the tortilla so that the filling is completely enclosed. Seal the seam of the tortilla with 3 toothpicks. Transfer to a baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining tortillas, filling and toothpicks.
• Meanwhile, attach a deep-fat fry thermometer to the side of a large Dutch oven or pot, fill halfway with oil and heat over medium-high heat to 350 degrees F.
• Fry the egg rolls in 2 batches until golden brown all over, about 5 minutes per batch. Remove the toothpicks from the egg rolls, cut on an extreme bias and transfer to a large platter. Serve with the avocado dipping sauce.

LUCKY BALONEY EGG ROLLS

Steps:

• To make the filling: Heat a drizzle of oil in a large sauté pan or wok over medium heat. Add the onions and carrots and season with a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and translucent, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the cabbage, chile, scallions and ginger and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables have released their water and it has evaporated, 7 to 10 minutes. Add the vinegar and cook for another minute. Stir in the hoisin sauce and sriracha. Season with additional salt and pepper, and remove from the heat. Toss in the cilantro. Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature.
• To assemble: Line a sheet tray with parchment paper. Sprinkle a light dusting of flour all over. Set aside.
• In a small bowl, mix together the 1 1/2 tablespoons flour with 3 tablespoons (45 grams) water until thoroughly combined. This will be the "glue" to seal the egg rolls.
• Lay a wrapper on a work surface with the corner pointed toward you. Place a few pieces of baloney down in the center lower third of the wrapper and a couple spoonfuls of filling. Bring the bottom corner up and over the filling and press down. Dip your finger into the flour and water mixture and wet the exposed edges of the wrapper. Fold both sides in, then wrap like a burrito. Place on the prepared flour-dusted sheet tray and repeat with the remaining rolls and filling.
• Heat the oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat to 350 degrees F.
• Fry the egg rolls in batches of 4 or 5, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove to a rack and repeat until done. Allow the oil to come back to temperature before adding another batch.
• Serve with hot mustard for dipping.

EGG ROLLS

Steps:

• For the Egg Rolls:.
• Combine the diced round steak, 1 1/2 tsp soy sauce, 1/2 tsp ketchup, 3/4 tsp cornstarch, and a dash of black pepper in a bowl. Stir well. Let marinate while you chop your vegetables.
• Heat a wok or large skillet over medium high heat. Add the cooking oil and swirl to coat. Add the round steak mixture and cook until no longer pink, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from the pan.
• Reduce heat to medium low. Add the vegetables to the skillet and cook until softened (about 2 minutes). Add the rice wine, 3/4 tbsp soy sauce, 1/4 tsp sugar, 3/4 tsp sesame oil, and 18 tsp black pepper. Continue to stir fry for 1 minute.Add the diced round steak back into the vegetables and stir.
• Scoop the egg roll filling out of the pan and place in a baking sheet. Tilt the baking sheet up on one side so all the excess moisture and oil runs to one end. Let cool and drain for 15 minutes. Discard the accumulated juices and blot the filling with paper towels to absorb the excess moisture. This will keep your egg rolls from being soggy.
• Mix 1 tbsp cornstarch into 1/4 cup water. You will use this to dip your fingers in to seal the egg rolls.
• Place one egg roll wrapper on a flat surface so that it looks like a diamond. Place a heaping tablespoon of filling close to the bottom corner. Fold the corner over, and roll tightly until just short of halfway up the wrapper. Fold over the left side, and then the right side towards the center. (It will look like an envelope.) Continue folding up with a tuck and roll motion. Dip your fingers into the cornstarch slurry and brush all over the final top corner. Finish up the roll, seal, and place seam side down. The tighter the egg roll the better -- it keeps excess oil from seeping in and keeps them from being greasy. (Keep rolled uncooked egg rolls covered with plastic wrap to keep them from drying out.) At this point, make your dipping sauce while the oil is heating -- it only takes a minute or two.
• Heat 2 inches of oil in a dutch oven to 350 degrees or until a cube of bread is golden brown within 10 seconds. Gently slide or lower the egg rolls into the oil, frying 4 to 6 at a time, turning occasionally until golden brown about 1 1/2 minutes. Place on a wire rack to drain and cool, not paper towels (again to keep them from being greasy) TO BAKE: Heat oven to 400 degrees. Place rolls on a baking sheet coated with non-stick cooking spray. Lightly brush the tops with olive oil and bake until golden brown, about 10-12 minutes.
• For the Sauce:.
• Combine 1 cup water, 1/4 cup ketchup, 1/4 cup sugar, and 1/2 cup vinegar in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, constantly stirring.
• Mix the cornstarch into the water. Stir about half into the mixture, reducing heat to a slow boil. If you want a thicker sauce, add more of the cornstarch mix. (Also, if you want it redder, add a bit of red food coloring).
