Sherryls Crispy Chinese Cabbage Egg Rolls Food

HOMEMADE VEGETABLE EGG ROLLS

Steps:

• Heat up 2 teaspoons of sesame oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
• Add the coleslaw mix, soy sauce, vinegar, garlic powder, ginger powder, and green onion to the hot skillet and saute for 5-8 minutes until the cabbage has softened stirring occasionally. (Don't over cook the cabbage because it will have a mushy texture after you fry it.)
• Lay out the egg roll wrappers in batches and place 1/3 cup of the cabbage filling in the center.
• Brush the edges with water, then roll them up like a burrito making sure all of the edges are sealed.
• Set the egg rolls aside (don't stack them because they will stick together!).
• Heat the vegetable oil in a cast iron skillet or heavy dutch oven over medium high heat until the oil reaches roughly 350 degrees. (I use a candy thermometer attached to the side of the skillet like this one.)
• Carefully place 4-6 egg rolls at a time in the hot oil adjusting the heat of the oil so it stays at roughly 350 degrees.
• Fry for 5-8 minutes flipping the egg rolls so they are crispy all over.
• Place the crispy egg rolls on a wire rack to cool so they stay crispy.

EASY CHINESE EGG ROLLS

Steps:

• 1. In a little bit of oil, saute onions until tender. Then add pork and saute until browned or done. Add garlic,ginger, salt & pepper and mix well, letting the flavors settle. Add oyster sauce and mix again. Then add cabbage and cook for about 3-5 minutes according to your desired "crunch factor." Fill egg roll wraps by starting with the corner closest to you and add about 2 tbsp. of filling. Wet each end, roll the mixture in the wrap once, fold in the sides, and continue to the end of the furthest corner, making sure the wet ends stick to each other.

• 2. Heat oil to 350-360 degrees. NOTE: Make sure oil is hot enough or egg rolls will be greasy. Deep fry 1-3 egg rolls at a time until they are light brown. They will look darker after you take them out of the oil. Drain on paper towels. AGAIN, make sure that all openings in the egg roll are sealed with water and stay closed or the egg rolls will be greasy.
• 3. You can by Duck sauce already made or make your own with apricot jam, a little light corn syrup and some water to make it your desired consistency. If you make your own, I recommend putting a tad of ginger in it for some extra flavor.
