Egg Rolls
- 1 Head of Napa Cabbage
- 3 Carrots
- 1/2 lb of Bean Sprouts
- 1 Large Onion
- 2c Shiitake Mushrooms
- 1/2 lb Shrimp
- Sesame seeds
- Fish sauce
- Soy sauce
- Sesame seed oil
- 2 Celery Sticks
- 2 lbs of ground pork or beef
- 2 beef or pork bouillon cubes
- 2 packs of Egg Rolls wraps (makes about 40)
- 5 Spice
- Seasoning Salt
- Pepper
- 1 clove of Garlic
- 1 sliver of Ginger
- Rice noodles
- Clean the vegatables & soak rice noodles.
- 1. Chop Napa Cabbage, & set to the side. When rice noodles are soft chop/add them to the cabbage mix.
- 2. Chop carrots, onion, garlic, ginger, celery (it's faster to use a food processor) *VEGGIE MIX*
- 3. In a large skillet cook ground beef/pork - DONT FOR GET TO ADD 2 bouillon cubes! It really adds flavor!
- When the ground beef is finished cooking, drain the meat & set aside in a large bowl!!
- 4. With the same skillet add 2tb of Sesame Seed oil, then pour Veggie mix, & shitake mushrooms into the skillet & saute. Add a 2 tb of Fish sauce. I like to sprinkle the sesame seeds at this point to the mixture! Next add a little soy sauce (to taste)
- Next drain, veggie mix! Then add to meat mixture!
- Next in chop up bean sprouts & add to veggie/meat mix!
- *You can saute this too if you like or blanche them. It depends if you like a little crunch in those egg rolls!! Just make sure you drain them! *
- 5. Go a head and saute those shrimp in about 1ts of sesame seed oil.
- 6. Add the shrimp, lettuce & rice noodles to the veggie/meat/bean sprout mix...
- 7. Season the mix to taste with the seasoning salt, soy sauce, and 5 spice, pepper & mix really well.
- *In case you're wondering I did NOT cook the cabbage because it gets really soggy! But it can work if you drain it...But I like crunch! *
- Wrapping...
- *Get a cup of water*
- 1. Lay the eggroll wrap on a flat dry surface like a diamond.
- 2. I like "STUFFED" eggrolls so I use 2 spoonfuls.
- 3. Dip two fingers into the cup of water and wet all sides of the wrapper.
- 4. Take the bottom point of your wrap & fold it over top of the filling.
- Fold the sides in towards the middle & roll the filling towards the top point of the wrapper.
- * To prevent the egg roll from unwrapping in the deep seal the seams, this also prevents oil from filling the inside of the egg roll.
- *For a better treat wrap a mint leaf or leaf of lettuce around eggroll & eat!*
