Home-made Egg Rolls

written by Emma Tang

Home-made Egg RollsI am excited to share the recipe of delicious home-made egg rolls. They are crispy on the outside, juicy and savory on the inside. Perfect for sharing!

Egg Roll IngredientsEgg roll wrappers are easy to find. You could get them from Asian grocery stores or online. I bought the egg roll wrappers in Chinatown for less than three dollars.

For fillings, I used ground pork, cabbage, carrot and bean sprouts. Feel free to replace pork with other protein types such as chicken, turkey, or even tofu (ideally firm tofu). 

Wrap a Egg RollTo make the fillings for the egg rolls, I stir fried pork and the vegetables, and seasoned them with sugar, soy sauce, cooking wine and salt. It took me just ten minutes to get the fillings ready. 

After the fillings have cooled down a little, I placed a quarter cup worth of fillings at the center of the wrap and started to fold the egg rolls. This time, I made a total of sixteen egg rolls.

Egg RollsServe these delicious egg rolls as an appetizer or snack at your next family gathering, everyone is going to love the bite-size treats. My only advice is enjoying them while hot!
