Ingredients
Filling
- 1 cup Fresh Shrimp Finely chopped.
- 1 cup Cabbage Finely chopped.
- 1 cup Carrots Grated or julienned.
Seasoning
- 2 cloves Garlic Freshly minced.
- 1 teaspoon Ginger Grated.
- 2 tablespoons Soy Sauce For seasoning.
- 1 tablespoon Sesame Oil For flavor.
Wrappers
- 10 pieces Egg Roll Wrappers Thin and pliable.
- 1 cup Cooking Oil For frying.
Instructions
Prepare the Filling
- Begin by finely chopping 1 cup of fresh shrimp, 1 cup of cabbage, and 1 cup of carrots. Additionally, mince 2 cloves of garlic and 1 teaspoon of ginger. This combination will add a burst of flavor to your egg rolls.
Season the Mixture
- In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped shrimp and vegetables. Then, add 2 tablespoons of soy sauce and a drizzle of sesame oil. Mix everything thoroughly to ensure the flavors meld together.
Assemble the Egg Rolls
- Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface, with one corner pointing towards you. Place about 2 tablespoons of the shrimp mixture in the center. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides. Finally, roll it up tightly to seal the egg roll.
Seal the Edges
- To ensure your egg rolls stay closed during cooking, use a little water to moisten the top corner of the wrapper before sealing it completely. This step is crucial for keeping the filling intact.
Heat the Oil
- In a large skillet, pour enough cooking oil to cover the bottom, about ½ inch deep. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers. This indicates it’s ready for frying.
Fry the Egg Rolls
- Carefully place the egg rolls in the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry them for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Remember to turn them occasionally for even cooking.
Drain Excess Oil
- Once fried, transfer the crispy shrimp egg rolls to a plate lined with paper towels. This will help absorb any excess oil, keeping them light and crispy.
Serve and Enjoy
- Serve your crispy shrimp egg rolls hot, paired with your favorite dipping sauce, such as sweet chili or soy sauce. They make for a perfect appetizer or snack!
