How to Make Chinese Egg Rolls!

Surprise your family; make the egg rolls. They are not hard. Your family will love them. Or serve them to guests. They’ll be impressed.

You can find the egg roll wrappers in the produce section at Wal-Mart or your local grocery store.

Ingredients

1 pound ground turkey or beef
2 tablespoons freshly grated ginger
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 medium head of cabbage, finely shredded
1/2 medium onion, chopped
3 or 4 stalks of celery chopped
1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon salt
egg roll wrappers
vegetable oil for frying
Mandarin Orange Sauce, Thai Peanut Sauce, or another asian sauce for dipping

Directions

1. Brown the meat and add the 1/4 teaspoon salt and fresh ginger for seasoning. Remove the meat from the pan and set aside.
2. Cook the cabbage, onion, and celery until it is wilted and crisp-tender. Add the seasoned cooked meat. Stir in the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
3. Place a mound of filling on the center of egg roll wrappers. Fold the left corner across the filling then roll the filing. Turn the top and bottom corners up and down respectively. Roll to wrap the egg roll into a tight cylinder.
4. Cook the egg rolls in hot oil until the outsides are brown.

Baker’s note: These can be cooked in hot oil in a sauce pan on the stove top. Make sure that the oil is about two-inches deep and 350 to 375 degrees. If the first egg roll does not cook rapidly enough, turn the heat up. (Slow cooked egg rolls will be greasy.)
