Time 2h

Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

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.

BEST PORK AND/OR SHRIMP EGG ROLLS

Best Pork And/Or Shrimp Egg Rolls image

From the American-Chinese food menu, this is the most authentic recipe for egg rolls we've seen. You can make pork egg rolls, shrimp egg rolls, combos, or half of them pork, half of them shrimp. Simply adjust the amounts of pork/shrimp to your liking. These freeze well and are great for OAMC. You can use ground pork, but for the best flavor, use leftover roast pork or rib meat, especially bbq'd. A great idea is to purchase a small order of ribs from the local chinese resteraunt, and cut and dice the meat from the bones for this recipe, or better still, try Recipe #329856 :)

Time 30m

Yield 12 egg rolls, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 20

Ingredients

2 tablespoons peanut oil
1 teaspoon ground chinese ginger
3/4 cup green onion, diced
1 celery rib, minced
4 cups napa cabbage, shredded and chopped
1/2 cup bean sprouts
1/2 cup diced pork, cooked (recommended Chinese Red Cooked Pork)
1/2 cup diced shrimp
1/2 cup chicken stock
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon cornstarch, dissolved in
1 tablespoon water
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 dash salt, to taste
1 dash black pepper, to taste
1 cup boiling water
2 tablespoons cornstarch, dissolved in
3 tablespoons water
12 egg roll wraps
vegetable oil, for deep frying

Steps:

In a wok set over moderately high heat, add the ground ginger, onion, and celery and stir-fry for 1 minute. Add the cabbage and bean sprouts and stir fry 2-3 minutes more, or until vegetables are slightly softened. Add the pork and/or shrimp and stir-fry 1 minute more.
Add the chicken stock and sugar, bring the mixture to a boil and stir in the cornstarch mixture. Simmer until lightly thickened. Stir in sesame oil, salt and pepper to taste.
Have 1 cup water at a boil. Remove from heat and whisk in cornstarch mixture.
Have 12 egg roll wrappers ready under a dampened towel. Place a portion of the filing in a line diagonally across one corner of wrapper, brush with some of cornstarch paste and fold in the ends. Roll tightly to make a sealed cylinder. Repeat with remaining wrappers.
Heat oil to 350 degrees F. Fry egg rolls, in small batches, turning often, for about 4 minutes, or until golden brown. Transfer to paper towels to drain.

Tips:

Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready. This will make the cooking process much smoother and more efficient.
Use fresh ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your egg rolls will taste. If possible, use organic or locally-sourced ingredients.
Don't overcook the shrimp and pork: Cook them just until they are cooked through, otherwise they will become tough and chewy.
Use a variety of vegetables: This will give your egg rolls a more complex flavor and texture. Some good options include cabbage, carrots, celery, and onions.
Don't overfill the egg rolls: If you overfill them, they will be difficult to fold and will likely break open during frying.
Make sure the egg roll wrappers are completely sealed: If they are not, they will open up during frying and the filling will spill out.
Fry the egg rolls in hot oil: This will help them to cook quickly and evenly. If the oil is not hot enough, the egg rolls will absorb too much oil and become greasy.
Serve the egg rolls with your favorite dipping sauce: Some good options include sweet and sour sauce, plum sauce, or soy sauce.

Conclusion:

Takeout-style shrimp, pork, and egg rolls are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They are perfect for parties or potlucks, and they can also be made ahead of time and frozen. With a little planning and preparation, you can enjoy takeout-style egg rolls in the comfort of your own home.
