Total Time: 35 mins
Cuisine: Asian
Serves: 8 egg rolls
Ingredients
- 1 package egg roll wrappers
- 1 cup shredded cabbage
- 1/2 cup shredded carrots
- 1/4 cup green onions, chopped
- 2 tablespoons ginger, minced
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- Oil for frying
- Sweet chili sauce for dipping
Instructions
- Begin by preparing your ingredients. Shred the cabbage and carrots if not pre-shredded. Chop the green onions and mince the ginger. Set all the ingredients aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, shredded carrots, chopped green onions, minced ginger, and soy sauce. Mix well until all the vegetables are evenly coated with the soy sauce.
- Take one egg roll wrapper and lay it out on a clean, dry surface with one corner facing you, like a diamond shape. Place about 2 tablespoons of the vegetable filling in the center of the wrapper.
- Fold the bottom corner of the wrapper over the filling, tucking it in slightly. Then, fold the two side corners inward, creating a sealed envelope around the filling.
- Continue rolling the wrapper away from you until you reach the top corner. Moisten the top corner with a little water to help seal the egg roll. Press gently to ensure it is sealed completely. Repeat this process with the remaining wrappers and filling.
- In a large skillet or deep frying pan, heat oil over medium-high heat. You will need enough oil to submerge the egg rolls at least halfway. To test if the oil is hot enough, drop a small piece of egg roll wrapper into the oil; it should sizzle immediately.
- Carefully place a few egg rolls in the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry them for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Once cooked, remove the egg rolls from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil. Repeat the frying process with the remaining egg rolls.
- Serve the crispy sesame ginger egg rolls hot with sweet chili sauce for dipping. Enjoy your delicious homemade egg rolls!
Tips
- Prep Ahead: To save time, you can prepare your filling a day in advance and store it in the refrigerator. Just make sure to wrap the egg rolls right before frying for the best texture.
- Don’t Overcrowd the Pan: When frying, make sure to give each egg roll enough space in the pan. Overcrowding can lower the oil temperature, resulting in soggy rolls instead of crispy ones.
- Test the Oil Temperature: Before frying all your egg rolls, test the oil with a small piece of wrapper. If it sizzles immediately, you’re good to go!
- Seal Properly: Ensure that the egg rolls are sealed tightly to prevent the filling from leaking out during frying. A little water on the edges can help secure the seal.
- Serve Fresh: For the best experience, serve your egg rolls immediately after frying. Pair them with sweet chili sauce for an extra burst of flavor!
