PORK AND SHRIMP EGG ROLLS

Steps:

• - Heat the olive oil in a very large frying pan* and drop the pork cubes into it. Add 2 tablespoons of Teriyaki sauce, a pinch or two of salt and cook until well browned.
• - Add the shredded cabbage, bean sprouts, onions, garlic and carrots. Stir thoroughly and then add the remaining 2 tablespoons of virgin olive oil over the top. Stir thoroughly again. Other cooks like to mix the meat with the raw veggies and let the final frying cook the vegetables. However, I like to cook them a little first to get rid of some of the moisture (especially in the cabbage and sprouts). I have found that, if I get rid of some of the moisture first, the veggies will not shrink as much inside the wrapper later during frying and gives me a much firmer roll without large, empty pockets of air.
• - Sprinkle the Kosher salt, ginger and black pepper over the top. Add the soy sauce and stir until everything is evenly distributed.
• - Stir the mixture well several times until the cabbage becomes somewhat soft.
• - When the mixture has reached the desired consistency, turn off the heat and add the shrimp. Stir well and allow mixture to rest for about 10 minutes.
• - Have a small bowl of water ready. Take an egg roll wrapper out of the package; lay it flat so that one of the corners is pointing at your belly. Dip your fingers into the bowl of water and run them along all four edges of the wrapper so that they are all nice and moist.
• - Place (approximately) 2 to 3 tablespoons of the filling in the middle of the wrapper so that it forms an elongated hill that comes to about 1 inch from the left and right sides. Fold the bottom corner (the one near your belly) over the mixture and press the corner lightly into the middle of the wrapper. Fold the left and right corners of the rolled wrapper so they end up pointing at each other on top of the folded wrapper. Using slight pressure from your fingers, "roll" the wrapped mixture towards the top until you end up with your roll. Keep it as tight as possible as you roll but not too much or you may break the wrapper and it will be a mess when you fry it. (Holy Mung Beans, Batman! I hope that makes sense!).
• - FOR FRYING: I use vegetable shortening or canola oil, whichever I have on hand at the time. I also use my deep fryer but, in a pinch, I have used a deep frying pan with enough frying oil in it to completely cover the egg rolls. I have also heard that peanut oil does a great job but I am a cheapskate and don't want to spend the extra bucks.
• - Fry on medium-high heat. I have found that anything lower makes the wrappers a little soft and chewy and I like mine nice and crispy.
• - Now, you will find that egg rolls can be temperamental and some will follow basic orders but some won't. As you fry a batch, you will find that some of your egg rolls have turned over by themselves and some have not. You will also find that some will stay in the position once you turn them but some will absolutely refuse to turn; it seems that no matter how many times you turn them, they will turn back leaving the whitish, uncooked belly exposed. For those rebels, you may need to turn them and hold them under the oil with your utensil until they stay turned.
• - Fry until golden brown and "bumpy". Place on top of a cookie sheet covered with a thick layer of paper towels and let them "drain" for 10 minutes or so. Serve and enjoy!
• *I use my big Paella pan (see picture) which requires three burners to use. Otherwise, you may need to cook the filling in a couple of batches if your frying pan is not big enough. At times, your frying pan may not appear to be big enough but, after the cabbage and bean sprouts cook for a few minutes, the mixture will shrink so you may be able to keep adding the fresh veggies slowly and cook it all in one batch.).
• HINT: When filling the egg rolls, I place my frying pan (or Paella pan) on a flat counter. Then, I place a piece of board about 1.5 inches thick under one side of the pan. This puts the pan on a slight angle which allows the juices and sauce to drain to the lower end. I then start using the filling from the higher side with a slotted spoon. This method allows me to use dryer filling without the sloppiness of wet cabbage.

SHRIMP AND PORK EGG ROLLS

Steps:

• Using a meat grinder, grind the shrimp and pork together and set aside. Soak the mushrooms and tree ear in hot water for ten minutes then chop finely.
• Cooking the meat mixture: Heat a wok or large frying pan over high heat until very hot. Add the pork and cook for about two minutes until it is no longer pink. Add the shrimp and cook for another two minutes until it is pink. Add the scallions, soy sauce and black pepper. Cook until the liquid has evaporated. Strain the excess fat off the meat and then spread on a large plate or cookie sheet to cool.
• Cooking the vegetables: With the same wok, heat the two tablespoons of canola oil over high heat. Add the ginger, water chestnuts, bamoo shoots and mushrooms and cook for two minutes. Add the celery and carrots and cook for another minute. Add the cabbage and bean sprouts and cook until the cabbage starts to wilt. Remove from heat and strain any excess liquid off the vegetable mixture and spread over the meat mixture. Drizzle sesame oil over the mixture. Cool.
• Prepare your work area: Once the mixture has cooled down, mix the two mixtures together. Beat an egg and place in a bowl on a large work surface next to the egg roll wrappers. Place a sheet of waxed paper on a cookie sheet and dust with corn starch.
• To fill the egg rolls: Take one wrapper and place it in front of you forming a diamond shape. Brush the top two edges of the wrapper with egg. Spread a small handful of the filling just below the middle of the wrapper. Pull the bottom of the wrapper up over the filling and tuck it around the filling. brush the two ends of the wrapper on either side of the filling with more egg. Bring each side up over the top the filled portion. Roll up, tucking the wrapper up to form a tight roll.
• Cooking the rolls: If you are going to fry the rolls, heat a few inches of oil in a heavy pot or dutch oven to 375 degrees. Drop about 4-6 rolls at a time in the oil and cook till golden brown on both sides. If steaming the rolls, steam in a steamer lined with lettuce leaves to prevent steaming for about 5 minutes.
