Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Coleslaw mix
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground ginger
- 10 pieces Egg roll wrappers
- 1 cup Vegetable oil
- 0.25 cup Water
Instructions
In a large skillet over medium heat, add the coleslaw mix, minced garlic, soy sauce, ground ginger, and a tablespoon of water.
Cook the mixture, stirring occasionally, for 5–7 minutes, or until the vegetables soften slightly. Remove from heat and allow the filling to cool.
Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with one corner pointing toward you, forming a diamond shape.
Place about 2 tablespoons of the cooled vegetable filling in the center of the wrapper.
Fold the bottom corner of the wrapper over the filling, then fold in the sides tightly. Brush a little water along the top edge of the wrapper to seal as you roll it up.
Repeat this process until all the filling and wrappers are used.
In a deep frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. To test the oil, drop a small piece of wrapper into it—if it sizzles, it’s ready.
Carefully place a few egg rolls into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 2–3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Remove the cooked egg rolls with tongs and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve warm with soy sauce, sweet chili sauce, or your dipping sauce of choice.
