Thai-style Vegetable and Shrimp Egg Rolls: A Delicious Appetizer
If you're looking for a tasty and healthy appetizer, try making Thai-style vegetable and shrimp egg rolls. This dish is a perfect combination of fresh vegetables, succulent shrimp, and flavorful spices, all wrapped up in a crispy egg roll wrapper.
Ingredients (serves 4):
- 8 egg roll wrappers
- 1 cup shredded cabbage
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- 1/2 cup chopped green onions
- 1/2 cup chopped cilantro
- 1/2 pound cooked shrimp, chopped
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 egg, beaten
- Oil for frying
To make the filling, combine the cabbage, carrots, green onions, cilantro, and shrimp in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, fish sauce, lime juice, brown sugar, ginger, garlic, and red pepper flakes. Pour the sauce over the vegetable and shrimp mixture and toss to coat.
To assemble the egg rolls, place an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with one corner facing you. Spoon about 1/4 cup of the filling onto the wrapper, leaving a 1-inch border on each side. Fold the bottom corner up over the filling, then fold in the sides and roll up tightly. Brush the top corner with the beaten egg to seal the egg roll.
Heat about 1 inch of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the egg rolls and fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels and serve hot with sweet chili sauce or soy sauce for dipping.
These Thai-style vegetable and shrimp egg rolls are a perfect appetizer for any occasion. They are crispy on the outside and filled with a delicious mixture of vegetables and shrimp on the inside. The combination of flavors and textures is sure to please your taste buds.
