SHRIMP EGG ROLL RECIPE CHINESE RECIPES

Steps:

• In a large skillet, heat sesame oil over medium-high heat.  Add the shrimp and sauté, until shrimp is almost cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Add ginger, garlic and scallions.  Sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.  Add cabbage and carrots, soy sauce and vinegar.
• Cook on high heat until vegetables are tender crisp, about 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a colander to drain and let cool.
• One at a time, place egg roll wrapper on a clean surface, points facing top and bottom like a diamond. Spoon a 1/3 cup mixture onto the bottom third of the wrapper.
• Dip your finger in a small bowl of water and run it along the edges of the wrapper. Lift the point nearest you and wrap it around the filling.
• Fold the left and right corners in toward the center and continue to roll into a tight cylinder.  Set aside and repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
• Spray all sides of the egg rolls with oil using your fingers to evenly coat.
• In batches, cook 370F for 5 to 7 minutes, turning halfway through until golden brown.
• Serve immediately, with dipping sauce on the side, if desired.
• To make this in the oven

Steps:

• First heat your 2 Tablespoons of oil in either a wok or is a deeper skillet, and stir fry your shrimp, cabbage, carrots, water chestnuts, and celery for 3-4 minutes.
• Then put into the pan the following: bean sprouts, scallions, salt, soy sauce, and sugar, and stir thoroughly.
• Add this shrimp mixture to each egg roll wrapper (about 3-4 tablespoons of mixture in each wrapper).
• You will want to make a bunched line with the mixture closer to one side of the wrapper, making sure that you are placing it lengthwise down the longer side of the wrapper.
• Brush edges with egg.
• Fold the shorter side of the wrapper in (the side that runs lengthwise next to the mixture) completely over the mixture, and then fold over both sides of the wrapper that run the other direction.
• Then you will want to go to the end with the mixture and start folding (rolling) it tightly to make a cylinder.
• Make sure that when you come to the end of the last edge, that it is sealed tightly.
• Cover rolls with a damp towel while you finish rolling all of them.
• Heat oil in your deep pan to 375.
• I usually use about 1 inch of oil in my pan.
• Fry egg rolls, a few at a time, until skins are crisp and golden brown, turning them as they brown.
• Drain egg rolls on paper towels to get rid of excess oil and serve them at once for best results.
• ENJOY!
