Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 2 cups shredded corned beef
- 1 cup shredded green cabbage
- 1/2 cup chopped green onions
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
Wrapping
- 12 egg roll wrappers
For Frying
- About 2 cups oil (for frying)
Dipping 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 well to evenly distribute the ingredients.
- Wrap the egg rolls: Lay an egg roll wrapper flat on a clean surface. Place about two tablespoons of the filling in the center of the wrapper. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, tuck in the sides tightly, and roll to enclose the filling completely. Seal the edge with a little water to prevent the roll from unwrapping during frying.
- Heat the oil: In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat about 2 cups of oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C), which is ideal for deep frying egg rolls to achieve a crispy texture without absorbing excess oil.
- Fry the egg rolls: Carefully place the wrapped egg rolls seam-side down into the hot oil. Fry for about three minutes on each side, turning gently to ensure even golden brown crispiness all around.
- Drain and serve: Remove the fried egg rolls from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve the hot egg rolls immediately with the prepared honey mustard dipping sauce for a perfect balance of savory and sweet flavors.
Notes
- Ensure the oil temperature remains consistent at 350°F to prevent soggy or burnt egg rolls.
- Do not overfill the egg roll wrappers to avoid breaking or leaking during frying.
- The honey mustard sauce can be adjusted to taste by varying the ratio of honey to mustard.
- For a healthier option, these egg rolls can be baked or air fried, though frying provides the best crisp texture.
- Leftover filling can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
