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.

Steps:
- For the boudin: Cut the pork into 1-inch cubes and place in a large bowl. Add the chicken livers.
- Mix the cayenne, thyme, paprika, kosher salt, black pepper, pink salt if using and white pepper together in a separate small bowl, and then add to the pork and chicken livers.
- Cut the celery, jalapeno peppers, poblano pepper and onion into 1-inch cubes. Add to the meat and spice mixture. Use your hands to mix everything together. Let sit for a minimum of 12 hours in the refrigerator.
- Once the meat has marinated, place into a large pot and cover with 6 cups of water. Let simmer until the pork is tender and easy to shred, about 2 1/2 hours.
- Bring 3 cups water, the butter and a pinch of salt to a boil in a medium pot over high heat. Add the rice, stir, cover with foil or a lid, turn all the way to low and cook until the rice is done, about 20 minutes.
- Remove the pork and vegetables from the braising liquid, saving the liquid. Add to a large mixing bowl (or a large standing mixer with the paddle attachment) and mix until it is mostly shredded and sticking together. This process must be done while the meat is still fairly hot (see Cook's Note). Add the green onions and rice to the meat mixture. Slowly add in the reserved liquid; you may not need all of it. It should be moist but not wet. Once mixed together, spread out on a sheet tray and let cool.
- For the sriracha mayo: Mix the mayo and sriracha in a small bowl until combined.
- For the boudin egg rolls: Make a 2- to 3-ounce patty out of the boudin. Place a stick of cheese on the patty and roll it around the cheese to form a cigar-like shape. Place on a corner of a wonton wrapper. Roll and fold the wrapper like you would any egg roll, using the beaten egg to seal it. Repeat with the remaining boudin, cheese and wrappers.
- In a large heavy-bottomed saucepan, pour enough oil to fill the pan about a third of the way. Heat over medium heat until a deep-frying thermometer inserted in the oil reaches 360 degrees F. (If you don't have a thermometer, a cube of bread will brown in about 3 minutes.) Fry the egg rolls in batches until golden, 5 to 8 minutes per batch. Let cool and enjoy! Serve with sriracha mayo for dipping.
Tips:
- Use high-quality boudin. This is the key ingredient in these egg rolls, so make sure you get the best you can find. Look for boudin that is made with fresh, high-quality ingredients.
- Don't overfill the egg rolls. If you do, they will be difficult to seal and they will burst open when you fry them. Aim for about 1/4 cup of filling per egg roll.
- Seal the egg rolls tightly. This will prevent the filling from leaking out during frying. Use a little water or beaten egg to help seal the edges of the egg rolls.
- Fry the egg rolls until they are golden brown and crispy. This will take about 2-3 minutes per side. Don't overcrowd the pan, or the egg rolls will not fry evenly.
- Serve the egg rolls hot with your favorite dipping sauce. Boudin egg rolls are delicious with ranch dressing, ketchup, or mustard.
Conclusion:
Boudin egg rolls are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. They are perfect for parties or potlucks, and they are also a great way to use up leftover boudin. With a little planning and preparation, you can make these egg rolls in no time. So next time you are looking for a tasty and unique appetizer, give boudin egg rolls a try.
