Ingredients :
1 lb (450g) ground pork or chicken2 cups shredded cabbage1 cup shredded carrots1 cup bean sprouts3 green onions, finely chopped2 cloves garlic, minced2 tablespoons soy sauce1 tablespoon oyster sauce1 teaspoon sesame oil1 teaspoon grated ginger1/2 teaspoon black pepper1/4 teaspoon saltFor the egg rolls:20 egg roll wrappers1 egg, beaten (for sealing)Oil for frying
Préparations :
Cook the meat: In a large skillet or wok, cook the ground pork or chicken over medium heat until fully cooked, breaking it up into small pieces.
Add vegetables: Add the cabbage, carrots, bean sprouts, and green onions to the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender.Season the filling: Stir in the garlic, soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, ginger, black pepper, and salt. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.Assemble the egg rolls:Prepare the wrappers: Place an egg roll wrapper on a clean, dry surface with one of the corners pointing towards you (like a diamond shape).Add the filling: Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the filling onto the center of the wrapper.Fold and roll: Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides, and roll up tightly. Brush a little beaten egg on the top corner to seal the egg roll. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.Fry the egg rolls:Heat the oil: In a large, deep skillet or pot, heat about 2 inches of oil to 350°F (175°C).Fry the egg rolls: Carefully place a few egg rolls in the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the skillet. Fry for 3-5 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy.Drain and serve: Remove the egg rolls with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.Tips for SuccessPrevent sogginess: Ensure the filling is not too wet by draining any excess liquid before wrapping.Seal well: Make sure the egg rolls are sealed tightly to prevent them from bursting open during frying.Maintain oil temperature: Keep the oil temperature consistent to ensure even frying. Too low, and the egg rolls will absorb too much oil; too high, and they will brown too quickly on the outside without cooking through.ConclusionMaking egg rolls at home can be a fun and rewarding experience. With this recipe, you’ll achieve perfectly crispy and delicious egg rolls every time. Enjoy them as an appetizer, snack, or even a main dish, and impress your friends and family with your culinary skills!ENJOY
