EGG ROLLS


Chinese comfort food. Egg Rolls. Who has not eaten Egg Rolls? I will make my own Egg Rolls today. Let’s go to the kitchen.

Ingredients:

Egg Roll Wrappers
1 chopped carrot
¼ cauliflower or white cabbage
1 small can beansprouts or fresh ones
1 small can water chestnuts
1 tablespoon soy sauce
Some salt to taste
Some freshly ground black pepper
Some vegetable oil

To start with the preparation, chop the carrot. Scald the cauliflower or cabbage for some minutes. Then drain and shred it. Put carrots, cauliflower, beansprouts, water chestnuts and black pepper in a container. Add the soy sauce and mix. Add some salt if needed.
We will have the egg roll wrappers ready. Thaw the amount you consider you will be using. Put a wrapper on a surface with one corner pointing at you. Pour about three tablespoons of the mixture across the wrapper, parallel to you. Fold the corner closer to you to cover the mixture. Do the same with the right and left corners. Finally do the same with the remaining corner. Do this with all the wrappers and the filling.
Then the only thing we will have to do is frying the Egg Rolls. Heat some vegetable oil in a pan and deep fry the rolls. Do this in badges so that the rolls do not stick to each other. When they are brown, remove from the pan and let them get rid of some of the oil by putting them on kitchen paper towel.
Now you have your rolls ready. You can serve them as an appetizer. And you can serven them along with some oriental dish.
Rewarding and delicious. Enjoy!
