Looking for a classic appetizer that's sure to please? Look no further than classic egg rolls! These crispy, savory treats are perfect for any occasion, from game day parties to family dinners. And with our easy-to-follow recipe, you can make them right at home.
Ingredients (serves 4):
- 8 egg roll wrappers
- 1 cup cooked and shredded chicken
- 1 cup shredded cabbage
- 1/2 cup shredded carrots
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- Vegetable oil for frying
Cooking Tips:
- Make sure your filling is completely cooled before rolling your egg rolls. This will help prevent the wrappers from tearing.
- Use a small amount of filling for each egg roll. Overfilling can cause them to burst open during frying.
- Keep a close eye on your egg rolls while frying. They can go from golden brown to burnt quickly!
Instructions:
1. In a large bowl, combine the chicken, cabbage, carrots, green onions, soy sauce, cornstarch, garlic powder, and ginger. Mix well.
2. Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with one corner facing you. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of filling onto the center of the wrapper.
3. Fold the corner closest to you over the filling, tucking it in tightly. Fold in the sides of the wrapper, then roll it up tightly. Use a dab of water to seal the edge.
4. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
5. Heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the egg rolls in batches and fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
6. Remove the egg rolls from the oil with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
7. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
