Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Set up a food processor fitted with the blade attachment. Add the mushrooms, slightly breaking them up with your hands as you add them. Place the lid on and pulse until the mushrooms are finely chopped, 10 to 12 times.
- Add the bean thread noodles to a large bowl and cover with boiling water. Set aside.
- Add the coconut oil to a large sauté pan and heat over medium-high heat until the oil is shimmering. Add the mushrooms and salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until all of the liquid from the mushrooms has released and evaporated, about 3 minutes. Add the scallions, garlic and ginger. Stir to incorporate and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the cabbage and carrots and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables have softened, about 4 minutes. Turn the heat down to low and add the soy sauce, vinegar, sesame oil and sambal oelek. Stir to combine.
- Drain the noodles, then use kitchen scissors to cut the noodles into smaller pieces. Add the noodles to the pan with the vegetables and stir to combine. Turn the heat off and let the mixture cool to room temperature.
- Arrange one egg roll wrapper on a clean work surface (keep the remaining egg roll wrappers covered with a damp paper towel) with the corners pointing horizontally and vertically. Spoon 1/4 cup filling in the bottom third of the wrapper. Use a pastry brush to brush water along the edges of the wrapper. Pick up the corner of the wrapper closest to you and wrap it up and over the filling. Fold the two sides in, similarly to a burrito, then continue rolling from the bottom to create a roll. Place the finished egg roll on the prepared baking sheet. Continue the process with the remaining filling and egg roll wrappers. (You should end up with 16 egg rolls.) Spray the egg rolls with nonstick cooking spray.
- Transfer the egg rolls to the oven and bake for 10 minutes. Remove the egg rolls from the oven and flip them. Continue baking until both sides of the egg rolls are golden brown and crisp, an additional 5 minutes.
- Allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Steps:
- In a skillet over medium-high heat, heat the sesame and canola oil. Saute cabbage for 2 minutes. Add carrots and snow peas. Cook an additional 1 minute.
- Whisk together cornstarch and soy sauce until smooth. Stir into vegetable mixture. Cook until sauce comes to a boil and is slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and cool.
- Lay the egg roll skins on a flat surface and lightly brush edges with water. Place 1/8 of the filling at one end of each skin, leaving a 1/4-inch border at the top and sides. Roll wrapper over filling, tucking in the ends after the first roll.
- Heat 3-inches of peanut oil in a large, deep saucepan. When the oil is hot, about 350 degrees F, fry the egg rolls until golden brown, about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the fryer and drain on paper towels. Season with Essence.
- To serve, slice each egg roll in half, diagonally and place on each serving plate. Combine dry mustard with water. Drizzle each egg roll with the hot mustard. Garnish with cilantro leaves.
Tips:
- Prep your veggies提前备好蔬菜: Chop and prep all your vegetables before you start cooking. This will save you time and make the cooking process go smoother.
- Use a large skillet or wok use一口大煎锅或炒锅: This will give you plenty of room to cook all your ingredients without overcrowding the pan.
- Cook the eggs first煮鸡蛋: This will help them to set and make them easier to roll.
- Don't overfill the egg roll wrappers不要过量填充蛋卷皮: If you put too much filling in the wrappers, they will be difficult to roll and seal.
- Use a damp cloth to keep the egg roll wrappers moist用湿布保持蛋卷皮湿润: This will prevent them from drying out and cracking.
- Cook the egg rolls in hot oil煮蛋卷: This will help them to get crispy and golden brown.
- Serve the egg rolls with your favorite dipping sauce用您最喜欢的蘸酱配蛋卷: Some popular choices include soy sauce, duck sauce, and sweet and sour sauce.
