🥢 Crispy Egg Rolls
🧾 Ingredients
Filling:
- 2 cups shredded cabbage
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- 1/2 cup bean sprouts (optional)
- 2–3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 small onion (thinly sliced)
- 200g ground chicken, beef, or shrimp (optional)
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp oyster sauce (optional but tasty)
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- Salt & pepper to taste
- 1 tbsp oil for stir-frying
Wrapper & frying:
- Egg roll wrappers (store-bought)
- 1 egg + 1 tbsp water (for sealing)
- Oil for deep frying
👩🍳 Instructions
1. Cook the filling
- Heat oil in a pan.
- Add garlic and onion, sauté until fragrant.
- Add meat (if using) and cook until done.
- Stir in cabbage, carrots, and bean sprouts.
- Add soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, salt, and pepper.
- Cook until veggies are slightly soft but not soggy.
- Let the filling cool completely (important for crispiness).
2. Roll the egg rolls
- Place wrapper like a diamond shape.
- Add 2–3 tbsp filling near the bottom corner.
- Fold bottom over filling, then sides inward, and roll tightly.
- Seal edge with egg wash.
3. Fry until crispy
- Heat oil to medium-high (about 175–180°C / 350°F).
- Fry a few at a time until golden brown (3–5 minutes).
- Turn occasionally for even crisping.
- Drain on paper towels.
🍽️ Serve
- Serve hot with dipping sauces like:
- Sweet chili sauce
- Soy sauce + vinegar
- Garlic mayo
🔥 Tips for extra crunch
- Don’t overfill wrappers.
- Make sure filling is dry (moist filling = soggy rolls).
- Fry in batches so oil temperature stays steady.
If you want, I can also give you a baked version, an air fryer version, or a restaurant-style dipping sauce recipe.
