Eggrolls

Chicken with pork eggrolls

Eggrolls is a great appetizer for all occasions. This can be made with your choice of meat(s). Eggrolls goes very well with sweet and sour dipping sauce. It can also be frozen for future use (when its frozen do not thaw, fry it while frozen but only few at a time).


Ingredients you will need:

1 All purpose spring roll wrapper
1/2 lb. ground pork
1/2 lb. ground chicken
1 small bag of coleslaw mix vegetables ( if you want it fresher you can shred the carrots, broccoli stem and red or green cabbage)
1/2 lb. of beansprouts
1 onion (thinly sliced)
1 1/2 cup of bean thread (soak in about 2 cup of hot water for 5 minutes covered, snipped and drain all excess water).
1/2 teaspoon of salt
teaspoon of ground ginger
4 cloves of minced garlic (or 4 teaspoon of granulated garlic)
2 teaspoon of ground black pepper
3 teaspoon of MSG (3 tablespoons of granulated chicken stock)
3 lightly beaten egg yolk or 3 tablespoons of corn starch paste (starch and water)
Vegetable oil
2 tablespoons of olive oil
Fryer
A medium tray
A flat surface

Filling:

In a large pan add olive oil, ground meat, garlic, stir frequently until its about half way cooked, then add the vegetables, seasonings and stir frequently for about a minute. Drain the mixture, stir in the drained bean thread and let it cool down before you begin rolling. On a flat surface (small cutting board works perfect) lay on a sheet of spring roll wrapper with one pointed end towards you, put about a teaspoon of mixture towards you, fold the pointed end once and fold the other sides and roll it tightly(not too tight it might break the wrapper) and seal the end of the flaps with egg yolk or starch paste. A fryer is a best investment and its inexpensive.  Deep fry at 375 degrees in about 2 inches of oil until golden.


Sweet and sour dipping Sauce:

1 cup of vinegar
1 cup of fish sauce ( available just about everywhere, even Wal-Mart)
1 cup of sugar
3 cups of water
4 cloves of garlic
3 red peppers
3rd a cup of shredded carrots
Crushed roasted peanuts
Honey (optional)

Sweet and sour dipping sauce:
 In a large pot combine vinegar, water, sugar, fish sauce and stir until the sugar is dissolved. Let it cool down then add mince or ground the garlic, peppers together, add shredded carrots and stir it into the liquid. Peanuts are optional and honey is added for an extra sweetness. This sauce can be used as a vinaigrette and dips for all kinds of food. It can also be stored in a plastic container for about 6 months.
