Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 2 cups shredded corned beef
- 1 cup shredded green cabbage
- 1/2 cup chopped green onions
- 1 tsp garlic powder
Wrappers
- 12 egg roll wrappers
Frying
- Oil for frying (about 2 cups)
Honey Mustard Sauce
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
Instructions
- Prepare the filling: In a large bowl, combine the shredded corned beef, shredded green cabbage, chopped green onions, and garlic powder. Mix thoroughly to ensure the flavors are evenly distributed throughout the filling.
- Assemble the egg rolls: Lay one egg roll wrapper on a clean, flat surface. Place about two tablespoons of the prepared filling in the center of the wrapper. Fold the bottom corner of the wrapper over the filling, then tuck in the sides snugly, and roll tightly to enclose the filling completely. Seal the edge by moistening it with a little water.
- Heat the oil: Pour approximately 2 cups of oil into a deep skillet and heat it over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Proper oil temperature is essential for crispy, evenly fried egg rolls.
- Fry the egg rolls: Carefully place the assembled egg rolls seam-side down into the hot oil to prevent them from unrolling. Fry each side for about three minutes or until they turn golden brown and crispy.
- Drain and serve: Use tongs to remove the fried egg rolls and drain them on paper towels to soak up excess oil. Serve the hot crispy egg rolls with the honey mustard sauce made by mixing honey and Dijon mustard together for dipping.
Notes
- Ensure the oil temperature remains steady at 350°F for consistent frying results.
- You can prepare the filling a few hours in advance and refrigerate it for convenience.
- Serve immediately for the best crispy texture, though egg rolls can be reheated in an oven or air fryer.
- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of crushed red pepper or cayenne to the filling.
- Make sure to seal the egg rolls properly to avoid fillings leaking during frying.
