Best Is It Egg Roll Or Eggroll Recipes

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Put the cabbage, carrots, and celery into the boiling water and cook for about 2 minutes. Transfer the veggies to an ice bath and drain. Thoroughly squeeze out all the excess water from the vegetables (you can put the drained veggies in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out the water). This is a very important step because if the filling is too wet, you will have a wet filling and soggy egg rolls!
• Once dry, transfer the veggies to a large mixing bowl. Add the scallions, salt, sugar, sesame oil, 2 tablespoons oil, five spice powder (if using), white pepper, roast pork, and cooked shrimp (if using). Toss everything together. The filling is ready to be wrapped!
• To wrap the egg rolls, take a small fistful of filling, squeeze it a little in your hand until it is compressed together, and place it on the wrapper. The wrapping method is similar to that of a burrito. Just add a thin layer of egg to make sure it stays sealed. Line them up on a lightly floured surface, and continue assembling until you run out of ingredients.
• In a small pot, heat oil to 325 degrees. You don't need too much-just enough to submerge the egg rolls. Carefully place a couple egg rolls into the oil, and fry them for about 5 minutes until golden brown. Keep them moving in the oil to make sure they fry evenly.
• Cool slightly and serve! Freeze leftovers in freezer bags and reheat them in the oven at 350 degrees, until crispy.

IS IT EGG ROLL OR EGGROLL?

Steps:

• Brown the meat in a large pan.
• Add onion, garlic, ginger, carrots and some salt and pepper halfway through.
• Remove from heat when carrots are tender.
• Stir in cabbage and bean sprouts, this will help cool the mixture down.
• Taste it now and see if it needs any more salt, good huh.
• Drain this mixture VERY WELL, moisture is you enemy in this recipe.
• I put it in a colander with a plate on top and a weight.
• It will look like there are more veggies than meat, that is a good thing.
• Blot it with a paper towel, it does not have to be bone dry, just not puddling and it needs to be cool before rolling.
• We are almost there, have a glass of wine while you are waiting for it to cool!
• Stir occasionally in the colander to get the hiding moisture.
• Lay the wrapper so that one point is towards you.
• Put about about 3 tablespoons of mixture across the wrapper.
• Here is where I add a bit of cilantro, green onion, chopped hot pepper.
• Fold the point that is pointing at you up over the mixture.
• Now fold the corner on the right over that, now the point on the left and begin to roll till you get to the end.
• Moisten the last point and finish the roll.
• Freeze these individually on a cookie sheet covered with plastic wrap than put in freezer bags unless you are eating them right away.
• To cook them remove to a cookie sheet (do not thaw) and spray them with Pam, Bratty used garlic flavored and said it was good.
• Bake at 350 for about 10 minutes, turn over and spray again and bake another 10 to 15 minutes.
• They will not get all brown like fried ones but they will be crispy and delicious.

Steps:

• Season pork with ginger and garlic powder and mix thoroughly. Heat mixture in a medium skillet, stirring, until pork is cooked through and no longer pink. Set aside.
• In another large skillet heat oil to about 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) or medium high heat. While oil is heating, combine flour and water in a bowl until they form a paste. In a separate bowl combine the cabbage, carrots and reserved pork mixture. Mix all together.
• Lay out one egg roll skin with a corner pointed toward you. Place about a 1/4 to 1/3 cup of the cabbage, carrot and pork mixture on egg roll paper and fold corner up over the mixture. Fold left and right corners toward the center and continue to roll. Brush a bit of the flour paste on the final corner to help seal the egg roll.
• Place egg rolls into heated oil and fry, turning occasionally, until golden brown. Remove from oil and drain on paper towels or rack. Put on serving plate and top with sesame seeds if desired.
