Ingredients:
- 1 pound cooked shrimp, chopped
- 1/2 cup shredded cabbage
- 1/4 cup shredded carrots
- 1/4 cup bean sprouts
- 1 green onion, thinly sliced
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon oyster sauce
- 12 egg roll wrappers
- 1 egg, beaten (for sealing the rolls)
- Vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Filling:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped cooked shrimp, shredded cabbage, shredded carrots, bean sprouts, and green onion.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, and minced garlic. Pour this sauce mixture over the shrimp and vegetable mixture, and toss to combine until everything is well coated.
2. Assemble the Egg Rolls:
- Lay one egg roll wrapper on a clean surface, with a corner facing you (like a diamond shape).
- Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the shrimp and vegetable mixture onto the lower third of the wrapper.
- Fold the sides of the wrapper over the filling, then roll up the wrapper tightly from the bottom corner toward the top corner.
- Seal the top corner with a little bit of the beaten egg to hold it together. Repeat this process with the remaining filling and wrappers.
3. Fry the Egg Rolls:
- Heat vegetable oil in a large pan or wok over medium-high heat for frying. The oil should be about 350°F (175°C).
- Carefully place the egg rolls into the hot oil, cooking in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry them for 3-4 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy on all sides.
- Once fried, remove the egg rolls from the oil and drain them on a plate lined with paper towels.
4. Serve:
- Serve your shrimp egg rolls hot with dipping sauces such as sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, or plum sauce.
Tips:
- For a healthier version: You can bake the egg rolls at 400°F (200°C) for about 20-25 minutes, turning halfway through, for a crispy exterior without the oil.
- Add-ins: You can customize the filling by adding more vegetables like mushrooms, bell peppers, or water chestnuts for extra crunch.
- Freeze for later: These egg rolls can be assembled ahead of time and frozen. Just fry or bake them directly from frozen.
These Shrimp Egg Rolls are a savory, crispy, and flavorful treat that’s sure to please anyone who loves Asian-inspired cuisine! Enjoy! 🍤🌿
