Egg Rolls
Description
Egg Rolls use ground chicken cooked with ginger and garlic, combined with sautéed cabbage, shiitake mushrooms, and grated carrot. This mixture is cooled slightly before being spooned into egg roll wrappers. The edges are sealed by moistened fingers to prevent opening during frying.
Fried in hot vegetable oil at 375°F, the egg rolls develop a crisp, golden shell while maintaining a juicy filling inside. Proper oil temperature and frying time prevent greasy or undercooked results.
Egg rolls can be served warm as appetizers or part of a meal and work well with dipping sauces. This recipe yields sixteen rolls, making it suitable for sharing.
The included kitchen timers help manage cooking steps efficiently, but monitoring the rolls during frying is important to avoid burning or undercooking.
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground chicken
- 2 teaspoons ground ginger
- 2 cloves garlic , minced
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 4 cups cabbage , sliced thinly
- 8 ounces shiitake mushrooms , chopped (or crimini)
- 1/2 cup carrot , grated
- 16 egg roll wrappers (7 inch squares)
- water
- vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- Add the chicken, ginger and garlic to a large skillet on medium heat and cook until fully cooked through, about 4-5 minutes.
- Remove the chicken and add in the vegetable oil, cabbage, mushrooms and carrots and cook for 3-4 minutes until wilted, turn the heat off, add the chicken back in and mix well then let cool for 10 minutes before adding to the wrappers.
- To each wrapper add 1/4 cup of the cooled filling, with a wet finger wipe water along the edges, fold in the sides and roll the egg roll closed.
- When ready to fry, add 3 inches of vegetable oil to a large dutch oven and heat to 375 degrees, then fry until golden brown (the inside is cooked, you only need to brown the outsides) then cool on a cooling rack.
Notes
- Ensure the filling is cool before wrapping to prevent wrappers from becoming soggy.
- Maintain oil temperature at 375°F for crisp and evenly cooked egg rolls.
- Use water to moisten edges and seal wrappers properly to avoid openings during frying.
- Fry until golden brown for a fully cooked and crispy exterior.
