Vegetarian (Or Not) Egg Rolls image

I LOVE these egg rolls! I am a vegetarian (most of the time) so I use tofu in this recipe. This recipe is flexible; you can change the proportions or even ingredients to however many egg rolls you want (or how many wrappers you have left over). I think I first got this recipe from the Azumaya tofu wrapper package, but I don't deep fry it. Hope you like it!!

Time 45m

Yield 20 egg rolls

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 lb ground chicken or 1 lb baby shrimp
1 teaspoon minced ginger
2 cups finely chopped cabbage (I use the bagged coleslaw mix at the grocery store)
1/4 lb bean sprouts
1/2 cup shredded carrot (this is included in the coleslaw mix, so if you use the mix you could omit the carrot)
2 tablespoons oyster sauce
3 green onions, finely chopped
1 (16 ounce) package large square egg roll wraps
2 -3 egg whites
nonstick cooking spray
sweet and sour sauce (for dipping)
soy sauce (for dipping)
mustard (for dipping)
catsup (for dipping)

Steps:

  • Stir-fry tofu (or meat) and ginger in a large skillet until brown (about 2-3 minutes).
  • Add cabbage, bean sprouts, green onions, and carrots (or just the sprouts and coleslaw mix).
  • Cook for two minutes more.
  • Stir in oyster sauce and let mixture cool.
  • Use two tablespoons of filling for each wrapper.
  • Fold up egg rolls, envelope-style.
  • Tuck in all corners, and seal with some brushed-on egg whites.
  • Brush rolls with egg whites to make them crispy since we aren't frying them.
  • "Fry"the rolls a few at a time in a skillet over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until golden.
  • Serve warm with the above-mentioned dipping sauces.
  • Enjoy!

These egg rolls were a disappointment. The filling was dry and the wrappers were soggy. I won't be making them again.

Meh. I wasn't impressed with these egg rolls. The filling was bland and the wrappers were too thick and chewy.

Not bad! The egg rolls were crispy and the filling was tasty. However, I found the recipe to be a bit bland. I added some extra spices and seasonings to give it more flavor.

These egg rolls were easy to make and turned out great! I used a store-bought egg roll wrapper and the filling was flavorful and delicious.

I made these egg rolls for a potluck and they were a huge success. Everyone raved about them and asked for the recipe. I'll definitely be making them again soon.

5 stars! These egg rolls were a hit at my party. Everyone loved them, even my picky eaters. The filling was savory and the wrappers were nice and crispy.

Absolutely delicious! I followed the recipe exactly and the egg rolls turned out perfectly crispy and flavorful. My family loved them and they'll definitely be a regular in our menu rotation.
