I had an opened pack of egg roll wrappers that I had to use because when they get past their date the egg roll wrappers get impossible to roll. Last week cabbage was on sale for 49.cents a pound so I had extra cabbage here and egg rolls are just mostly cabbage so that is what I made. My recipe made 18 egg rolls.
Ingredients for around 18 egg rolls
1/2 head of cabbage – remove core and slice thin
2 carrots – shredded
1 cup corn kernels
1/2 cup scallions – sliced thin
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon 5 spice powder
1/4 teaspoon ground white pepper
1 teaspoon sesame oil
peanut or canola oil to fry – enough to well cover the egg rolls
egg roll wrappers
2 eggs – beaten (to help wrap)
Directions
Put the cabbage, carrots, corning a microwavable container and microwave for four minutes. Mix in the scallions, sugar, salt, 5 spice, white pepper, and sesame oil.
Heat up your oil in a pot to around 350 degrees F.
Take an egg roll wrapper (I put it down in a diamond shape) and brush it with beaten egg. Then fill it with about a tablespoon of filling. I pull the right and left sides into each other. Then I pull the top over the middle and roll it up.
Repeat till done.
Fry what ever feels comfortable to you at a time till they turn crispy and lightly browned.
Serve with Chinese mustard or some kind of asian dipping sauce.
ENJOY!!!!!
