Categories     Appetizer

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 lb ground pork
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 quart vegetable oil, for frying
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon water
3 cups coleslaw mix
12 egg roll wrappers

Steps:

  • In a medium skillet over medium heat, cook the pork, breaking it up as it cooks. When it is halfway cooked, sprinkle the ground ginger and garlic powder over the pork and stir to coat the meat evenly. Continue to cook until the pork is no longer pink. Set aside.
  • In another large heavy pot, heat oil to 375ºF or medium high heat. While the oil is heating, combine the flour and water in a bowl until they form a paste. In a separate bowl, combine the coleslaw mix and reserved pork mixture. Mix it all together.
  • Lay out one egg roll skin with a corner pointed toward you. Place about 1/4 to 1/3 cup of the pork mixture on the egg roll paper and fold the 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 the egg rolls into the heated oil and fry, turning occasionally, until golden brown. Remove from the oil and drain on paper towels or a rack.

EASY EGG ROLL



Easy Egg Roll image

Very delicious and simple recipe for making a basic pork egg roll. No food processor needed! Recipe can be easily modified to use your favorite meat and veggies.

Provided by LadyMysT

Categories     Pork

Time 30m

Yield 15 eggrolls, 5-7 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 lb ground lean pork
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 medium onion, minced
2 green onions, finely chopped
5 cups cabbage coleslaw blend
1/2 teaspoon powdered ginger
1 tablespoon soy sauce
salt
pepper (I used a lot)
15 egg roll wraps
water

Steps:

  • Heat oil in skillet.
  • Sauté garlic and onions until tender.
  • Add pork and sauté until browned.
  • Add coleslaw blend and stir-fry on high heat about 5 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and add seasonings, and salt and pepper to taste.
  • To assemble, place 2 tbs filling near corner towards you. Then fold over left and right sides. Dampen edges of the corner that is away from you, and finish rolling.
  • Deep fry at 350°F (or just use a fry daddy), until golden brown.
  • Drain on paper towels and enjoy!
  • These can also be frozen and fried later. Some people like a dipping sauce for egg rolls. But these are so tasty, they really don't need one.

Tips:

  • Prep Your Veggies Ahead of Time: Save time by chopping and dicing your vegetables in advance. This will make the assembly process much quicker.
  • Use a Variety of Vegetables: Don't be afraid to mix and match different vegetables to create your own unique egg roll filling. Some popular options include cabbage, carrots, celery, and bean sprouts.
  • Season Your Filling: Don't forget to season your filling with salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. This will help to enhance the flavor of your egg rolls.
  • Use Thin Egg Roll Wrappers: Thin egg roll wrappers will make your egg rolls nice and crispy. If you can't find thin wrappers, you can use regular wrappers, but be sure to cook them for a little longer.
  • Don't Overfill Your Egg Rolls: Too much filling will make your egg rolls difficult to roll and seal. Aim for about 1/4 cup of filling per egg roll.
  • Seal Your Egg Rolls Tightly: To prevent the filling from leaking out, be sure to seal your egg rolls tightly. You can do this by brushing the edges of the wrapper with water before rolling it up.
  • Cook Your Egg Rolls Until Golden Brown: Cook your egg rolls in hot oil until they are golden brown and crispy. This will ensure that the filling is cooked through and the egg rolls are delicious.

Conclusion:

Egg rolls are a delicious and versatile appetizer or main course. With a little planning and effort, you can easily make them at home. By following the tips in this article, you can create perfect egg rolls that are crispy, flavorful, and sure to impress your friends and family. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give these effortless egg rolls a try!
