How To Make vegetable egg roll

  • Sauté the ground meat in garlic and onions and soy sauce.
    1
    In a deep pan or wok, brown garlic and onions, then add the ground meat until brown. Sauté and add soy sauce, pepper and salt until the meat is cooked. Add diced potatoes, sweet potatoes, sliced carrots, scallions, diced celery and string beans. Cook for 3 minutes and add the cabbage and bean sprouts and cook for two minutes then turn off the fire. Mix the ingredients very well. Do not over cook the vegetables because you will still have to deep fry after wrapping all the egg rolls. Let it cool.
  • Ready to be wrapped.

    Wrapping the egg rolls: Take the egg roll wrappers out of the plastic and cover with wet paper towel so that it will remain soft. Beat one egg to seal the wrapper. In a plate, lay down one wrapper. Take I2 tablespoons of the vegetable mix on the wrapper position in a diagonal shape. From the bottom of the wrapper roll it up, then fold the two sides, roll it to the top then seal the wrapper by putting eggs on the tip of the wrapper. Now it is ready to deep fry the egg rolls. If you have many egg rolls left because I know this one batch can make you 50 to 75 egg rolls, get a freezer storage plastic and line it up around 10 egg rolls and seal it. Then freeze it until you feel like eating egg rolls again. Take it out and cook it right away in a very hot oil. You don't have to un-frozen the egg rolls. You can just deep-fry it right away.
  • Mixed vinegar goes with egg roll to counter the deep fry oil.

    How to deep fry: In a hot sauce pan or deep frying pan, put oil until it is really hot. Then cook egg rolls until brown. Take it out and in a deep big bowl, line up the paper towels and just let the oil flow down into paper towels.
  • Vegetable egg rolls wrapped in an egg roll wrapper deep fried and crispy. Inside are fillings with all types of vegetables that makes this crispy egg rolls so delicious, so tasty and savory. Fillings are shredded cabbage, beans sprouts, root crops etc.

    Ready to serve. Egg rolls goes with vinegar. In a small bowl, put vinegar, crushed garlic, crushed pepper, sea salt and you can put a little pepper. Bite the top of the egg roll and pour over the vinegar on the whole and now you're gonna eat for more. Alternative to vinegar mix is the sweet sauce. I prefer vinegar.
