Looking for a unique and delicious appetizer recipe? Try making Sweet Potato Egg Rolls! These crispy and flavorful egg rolls are filled with a savory mixture of sweet potatoes, cabbage, and carrots, making them a perfect appetizer for any occasion.
Ingredients (serves 4):
- 8 egg roll wrappers
- 1 large sweet potato, peeled and grated
- 1 cup shredded cabbage
- 1/2 cup shredded carrots
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Vegetable oil, for frying
Cooking Tips:
- Make sure to squeeze out any excess moisture from the grated sweet potato before adding it to the filling mixture.
- Use a small amount of filling for each egg roll to prevent them from bursting open during frying.
- Fry the egg rolls in batches to ensure they cook evenly and don't stick together.
Cooking Process:
1. In a large bowl, combine the grated sweet potato, shredded cabbage, shredded carrots, and chopped green onions.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic powder, ground ginger, and black pepper. Pour the mixture over the vegetable mixture and toss to coat.
3. Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with one corner facing you. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the filling mixture onto the center of the wrapper.
4. Fold the bottom corner of the wrapper up over the filling, then fold in the sides. Roll the wrapper up tightly, sealing the top corner with a bit of water.
5. Repeat with the remaining egg roll wrappers and filling mixture.
6. Heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the egg rolls in batches and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side.
7. Remove the egg rolls from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
