Ingredients

Egg Rolls:
  • 3 large avocados peeled, pitted, & diced
  • 8 tablespoons sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil drained and chopped
  • 3 tablespoons minced red onion
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro chopped
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 package egg roll wrappers at least 12 wrappers
  • 1 egg beaten
Dipping Sauce:
  • 4 teaspoons white vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
  • 1/2 cup honey or mapke syrup
  • 1/4 teaspoon powdered saffron
  • 1/2 cup chopped cashews
  • 1 cup fresh cilantro
  • 2-4 cloves garlic depending how garlicky you want the rolls
  • 2 green onions chopped
  • 1 tablespoon white granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 cup olive oil more if needed

Instructions

Dipping Sauce:
    Cup of Yum
  1. In a small, microwave-safe bowl, stir together the vinegars, saffron powder, and honey. Microwave for 1 minute, stirring, and set aside.
  2. Add the rest of the sauce ingredients and the honey mixture to a blender. Puree until combined and fully blended.
  3. Pour the mixture into a bowl and stir it. If needed, add more olive oil to thin it out.
  4. Refrigerate until ready to use.
Avocado Rolls:
  1. In a large bowl, gently stir diced avocados, chopped sun-dried tomatoes, onion, cilantro, and salt.
  2. Position one egg roll on a cutting board with the corner facing you. Brush the edges of the wrapper with the egg mixture.
  3. Distribute the avocado filling evenly onto the center.
  4. Fold the bottom corner up 1/4 of the way over the filling. Roll up from side to side, fold the top corner over all, and press to seal.
  5. Repeat with the remaining egg roll wrappers.
  6. Add enough oil to a deep pan over medium-high heat to submerge a batch of avocado egg rolls. Heat the oil to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
  7. Deep fry the egg rolls in batches for about 3-4 minutes, until golden brown.
  8. Remove rolls from oil and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.
  9. Serve with the dipping sauce.

Notes

  • First, choose the perfect oil with a high smoke point and neutral flavor. Peanut oil, vegetable oil, and canola oil are three of my favorites. Do not use sesame or olive oil because they burn at high temperatures. Then, ensure the oil is at the right temperature before adding the egg rolls. It needs to be 375 degrees F. I highly recommend using a candy thermometer to make sure. 
  • Remember to cook only a few at a time so they have enough room to fry. If they are too close together, they will steam instead of frying, making them soggy. They should cook for about three to four minutes. When they are golden brown, remove them. With this recipe, we are not cooking the ingredients inside. The final step is to put them on a wire rack with a paper towel on a pan below them. Placing them on paper towels will make them soggy.
  • Do not overfill the egg roll wrappers. This can make them burst when cooking them. 
  • If I am making a big batch, I spritz the avocados with lime juice to prevent them from turning brown. 
  • Use a candy thermometer to monitor the oil temperature, which should stay at 375 degrees F. 
  • Cook them only until they are brown and crispy. Don’t worry about cooking the inside ingredients. 
  • Don’t mash the avocados. This is not guacamole. They should be in larger chunks to withstand frying.
