Directions
Egg Rolls, The recipe for these egg rolls came about because of a food.com contest listing specific ingredients. Therefore, some of the ingredients are not the norm for egg rolls! They turned out to be very yummy and were quite easy to make. There is a bit of prep work, but nothing difficult. Made as a test recipe on Super Bowl Sunday, and they were quite the hit at our party. You can freeze these after rolling and cook later. Optional frying or baking instructions are given. This makes 21 egg rolls, serving 7 people with 3 egg rolls. The time for the filling to drain is not included in the prep time. Cooking time is for the frying method. If baking, increase by 10 or 11 minutes., The recipe for these egg rolls came about because of a food.com contest listing specific ingredients.

Scoop the Egg Roll Filling Out of the Pan and Place in a Baking Sheet. Tilt the Baking Sheet Up on One Side So All the Excess Moisture and Oil Runs to One End. Let Cool and Drain For 15 Minutes. Discard the Accumulated Juices and Blot the Filling With Paper Towels to Absorb the Excess Moisture. This Will Keep Your Egg Rolls from Being Soggy. |

Place One Egg Roll Wrapper on a Flat Surface So That It Looks Like a Diamond. Place a Heaping Tablespoon of Filling Close to the Bottom Corner. Fold the Corner Over, and Roll Tightly Until Just Short of Halfway Up the Wrapper. Fold Over the Left Side, and Then the Right Side Towards the Center. (it Will Look Like an Envelope.) Continue Folding Up With a Tuck and Roll Motion. Dip Your Fingers Into the Cornstarch Slurry and Brush All Over the Final Top Corner. Finish Up the Roll, Seal, and Place Seam Side Down. the Tighter the Egg Roll the Better -- It Keeps Excess Oil from Seeping in and Keeps Them from Being Greasy. (keep Rolled Uncooked Egg Rolls Covered With Plastic Wrap to Keep Them from Drying Out.) at This Point, Make Your Dipping Sauce While the Oil Is Heating -- It Only Takes a Minute or Two. |
