Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pound ground pork
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 quart peanut oil for frying
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons water
2 cups shredded cabbage
2 ounces shredded carrots
8 (7 inch square) egg roll wrappers
2 tablespoons sesame seeds

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.

COPYCAT TAKEOUT EGG ROLLS



Copycat Takeout Egg Rolls image

Egg rolls are the quintessential Chinese takeout food. Here's our family's restaurant recipe-a 100% accurate, easy-to-follow egg roll recipe to make at home!

Provided by Bill

Categories     Appetizers and Snacks

Time 2h

Number Of Ingredients 15

8 cups savoy cabbage ((shredded))
8 cups green cabbage ((shredded))
2 cups carrot ((shredded))
2 cups celery ((shredded))
3 scallions ((chopped))
2 1/2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons sugar
1 tablespoon sesame oil
2 tablespoons peanut or vegetable oil ((plus more, for frying))
1/4 teaspoon five spice powder ((optional))
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
3 cups roast pork
2 cups cooked shrimp ((chopped, optional))
1 package egg roll wrappers ((about 24 pieces))
1 egg ((beaten))

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.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

4 tablespoons vegetable oil
1-inch grated fresh ginger
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 scallions, sliced thinly
1 carrot, cut into 1-inch julienne strips
1 small red pepper, cut into 1-inch julienne strips
1 cup Napa cabbage, shredded
1/4 cup chicken broth
2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon sugar
1 to 2 tablespoons sesame oil
20 wonton wrappers covered loosely with a damp paper towel to prevent drying
10 shrimps, cooked and minced
1/3 cup lite soy sauce
1/3 cup rice vinegar
1 tablespoon honey
1 to 2 teaspoons sesame oil
Pinch of red pepper flakes

Steps:

  • In a wok or skillet, stir-fry the ginger and garlic in 2 tablespoons of oil until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add scallions, carrots, and red pepper and stir-fry over high heat for 2 minutes.
  • In a bowl, combine the chicken broth, soy sauce, and sugar. Add the Napa cabbage and broth mixture. Bring to a boil and simmer 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are soft. Add sesame oil, cool for at least 15 minutes, and strain. Fold in the minced shrimp.
  • Fill and roll the egg roll wrappers, using 1 tablespoon of filling for each roll. Working with 1 wonton wrapper at a time, place the wrapper with one corner of the diamond closest to you. Place 1 teaspoon of the filling in the center of the wrapper. Roll the corner closest to you over the filling. Brush the top corner with water. Fold in the sides of the wonton and continue rolling the egg roll up until it is closed. Press to seal, set aside, and continue with the remaining ingredients.
  • In a skillet set over moderately high heat, heat the remaining oil and saute the egg rolls until golden brown on all sides, using tongs to turn them. Serve when cool enough to eat, with dipping sauce.
  • Combine all ingredients in a bowl.

Tips for Egg Roll Success

  • Choose the right wrapper. Egg roll wrappers come in a variety of thicknesses and textures. Thin wrappers are more delicate and crispy, while thick wrappers are more chewy. Choose a wrapper that is appropriate for the filling you are using.
  • Don't overfill the egg rolls. Overfilled egg rolls are difficult to seal and will burst open during frying. Fill the egg rolls with just enough filling to make a tight roll.
  • Seal the egg rolls properly. To seal the egg rolls, brush the edges of the wrapper with water. Then, fold the bottom corner of the wrapper over the filling and roll it up tightly. Make sure the seam is sealed well so that the filling does not leak out.
  • Fry the egg rolls in hot oil. The oil should be at least 350 degrees Fahrenheit before you add the egg rolls. This will help the egg rolls cook evenly and prevent them from becoming greasy.
  • Drain the egg rolls on paper towels. After frying, drain the egg rolls on paper towels to remove any excess oil.

Conclusion

Egg rolls are a delicious and versatile appetizer or main course. They can be filled with a variety of ingredients, making them a great way to use up leftovers. With a little practice, you can easily make egg rolls at home that are just as good as the ones from your favorite restaurant. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give egg rolls a try!
