Crunchy Veggie Delight Egg Rolls
Equipment
- Large bowl
- Cutting board
- Knife
- Deep skillet or wok
- Slotted spoon
- Paper towels
- Whisk
- Small bowl
Ingredients
- 1 cup shredded cabbage
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- 1 cup bean sprouts
- 1/2 cup thinly sliced bell peppers (mixed colors)
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
- 1 tbsp fresh grated ginger
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 12 egg roll wrappers
- 1 tsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water
- Oil for frying
Dipping Sauce:
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine cabbage, carrots, bean sprouts, bell peppers, green onions, ginger, and garlic. Stir in soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, and black pepper. Mix well.
- Place an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with one corner pointing towards you. Spoon 2-3 tablespoons of vegetable mixture onto the lower third of the wrapper.
- Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the side corners. Brush the top corner with the cornstarch mixture, and roll up tightly, sealing the edge.
- Heat 1-2 inches of oil in a deep skillet or wok to 350°F (180°C). Fry the egg rolls in batches, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
- For the dipping sauce, whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes in a small bowl.
- Serve egg rolls warm with dipping sauce.
Notes
- Customize the filling: Feel free to experiment with different vegetables or even add protein like cooked shrimp, chicken, or tofu to make these egg rolls suit your taste preferences.
- Baking option: If you prefer to bake the egg rolls instead of frying, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the egg rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and spray or brush them with a little oil. Bake for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
- Make-ahead tip: Prepare the egg rolls and store them uncooked in an airtight container, with parchment paper
And there you have it! Enjoy your homemade Crunchy Veggie Delight Egg Rolls with friends and family, or even save them for a delicious treat throughout the week.
