Mama Yoshies Famous Eggroll Squares
- 2 cups Oil, For Frying
- 4 pieces Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts, Diced
- 18 teaspoons Black Pepper
- 1/2 teaspoons Ground Ginger
- 18 cups Plus 1/4 Cup Soy Sauce, Divided
- 1 head Chinese Cabbage, Rolled Up And Thinly Sliced
- 4 cups Bean Sprouts
- 3 whole Fresh Carrots, Peeled And Shredded
- 3 Tablespoons Cornstarch
- 2 packages (16 Oz. Size) Eggroll Skins
- 1.
- Heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium-high heat in an extra large boiler pot.
- 2.
- Cook diced chicken in the pot with pepper, ground ginger, and 1/8 cup soy sauce.
- Cook thoroughly.
- 3.
- Add the sliced cabbage, bean sprouts, and carrots to the cooked chicken in the same pot.
- Lower heat to medium-low, and allow vegetables to cook down by at least half of their original volume, stirring occasionally.
- 4.
- In a small bowl, mix the remaining 1/4 cup soy sauce with cornstarch.
- 5.
- Turn heat to high and add the cornstarch mixture to the pot, stirring constantly until thickened.
- Remove from heat.
- 6.
- Place one package of egg roll skins on a cutting board.
- Fold the top skin in half, creating a crease.
- Unfold, and cut through the entire stack of skins at the crease line.
- 7.
- Place the skins under a towel to keep from drying out while you make each square.
- 8.
- To make the egg roll square forms, place one of the newly cut skins on a cutting board; wet all 4 sides with water.
- (Its best not to build all of the squares at once, as they tend to stick to the surface and tear.)
- 9.
- Place 1 tablespoon of mixture on one side of the skin.
- Fold the other side over the mixture, pressing down on the edges to form a bond.
- Fold the 3 open edges over onto themselves, using more water if needed to create a bonding agent again.
- 10.
- Be careful not to use too much water, as this will cause splashing when you place the squares in the hot oil.
- 11.
- Heat enough oil to cover the bottom of a deep-sided frying pan by 2 inches deep, or use your deep fryer.
- Heat to 375 degrees F.
- 12.
- Place up to four squares into the hot oil at a time.
- Cook on each side until golden, about 1 minute each side.
- 13.
- Drain in a paper towel-covered pan.
