Easy Egg Rolls
- MAKES
- 1 dozen
- COOK TIME
- 15 Min
Can't believe we can make our own egg rolls at home? It's a cinch - without a deep-fryer! And for seafood lovers, these are filled with mini shrimp! But cooked shredded chicken or beef works great, too.
What You'll Need
- 1 (14-ounce) can bean sprouts, well drained
- 1 (6-ounce) can shrimp, drained and chopped
- 8 scallions, chopped
- 2 celery stalks, chopped
- 1 medium carrot, grated
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 12 egg roll skins (see Note)
- 1 egg, beaten
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
What to Do
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Coat a rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, combine bean sprouts, shrimp, scallions, celery, carrot, soy sauce, and ginger; mix well. Divide mixture equally in center of the egg roll skins.
- Brush edges of egg roll skins with beaten egg. Fold one corner over filling. Fold in 2 sides and roll up.
- Place on baking sheet and brush with vegetable oil.
- Bake 12 to 15 minutes, or until crisp and golden.
Notes
Egg roll skins can usually be found in the supermarket produce or freezer section. All you have to do is ask for them! Be careful when serving these right out of the oven 'cause the filling will still be very hot. Oh - don't forget the sweet-and-sour sauce and spicy mustard for dipping!

I also make my egg rolls different. I use cooked ground beef, chopped yellow or white onions, refried beans, green chili's and shredded cheese.I know this isn't your normal egg roll but my family loves these and they have been made like this in my family for years.

I think that my egg rolls are better! I include more finely chopped veggies. The flavors are amazing. I've found that you can put anything in them and they come out good! Due to childhood bias, i cannot eat bean sprouts but adding shredded Napa cabbage or even plain green cabbage adds more "Asian" flavor. I put in finely chopped cauliflower, broccoli, carrots,a little onion--green and/or yellow onion, celery(small amount or will overtake all the flavors),add the cabbage of choice and it is WORTH the extra work! But then I love egg rolls!

My Sister-in-law fries in a pan with an inch or two of peanut oil then turns half way thru cooking. Yummy. Also she leaves out the carrots, just for me. I know, spoiled. LOL!!

I have made home-made egg rolls for years, you can easily substitute cooked chicken (our fav) or cooked pork, leftover ham, turkey, even shredded lunchmeat. It's ALL GOOD ! Since I am allergic to shellfish, chicken is my go to sub.

Can you make these eggrolls with another type of meat other than shrimp?
