Ingredients
1 Head of Napa Cabbage
3 Carrots
1/2 lb of Bean Sprouts
1 Large Onion
2c Shiitake Mushrooms
1/2 lb Shrimp
Sesame seeds
Fish sauce
Soy sauce
Sesame seed oil
2 Celery Sticks
2 lbs of ground pork or beef
2 beef or pork bouillon cubes
2 packs of Egg Rolls wraps (makes about 40)
5 Spice
Seasoning Salt
Pepper
1 clove of Garlic
1 sliver of Ginger
Rice noodles
Preparation
Clean the vegatables & soak rice noodles.
Chop Napa Cabbage, & set to the side. When rice noodles are soft chop/add them to the cabbage mix.
Chop carrots, onion, garlic, ginger, celery (it’s faster to use a food processor) VEGGIE MIX
In a large skillet cook ground beef/pork - DONT FOR GET TO ADD 2 bouillon cubes! It really adds flavor!
When the ground beef is finished cooking, drain the meat & set aside in a large bowl!!
- With the same skillet add 2tb of Sesame Seed oil, then pour Veggie mix, & shitake mushrooms into the skillet & sauté. Add a 2 tb of Fish sauce. I like to sprinkle the sesame seeds at this point to the mixture! Next add a little soy sauce (to taste)
Next drain, veggie mix! Then add to meat mixture! Next in chop up bean sprouts & add to veggie/meat mix!
*You can sauté this too if you like or blanche them. It depends if you like a little crunch in those egg rolls!! Just make sure you drain them! *
- Go a head and sauté those shrimp in about 1ts of sesame seed oil.
- Add the shrimp, lettuce & rice noodles to the veggie/meat/bean sprout mix…
- Season the mix to taste with the seasoning salt, soy sauce, and 5 spice, pepper & mix really well. *In case you’re wondering I did NOT cook the cabbage because it gets really soggy! But it can work if you drain it…But I like crunch! *
Wrapping…
Get a cup of water
Lay the eggroll wrap on a flat dry surface like a diamond.
I like “STUFFED” eggrolls so I use 2 spoonfuls.
Dip two fingers into the cup of water and wet all sides of the wrapper.
Take the bottom point of your wrap & fold it over top of the filling. Fold the sides in towards the middle & roll the filling towards the top point of the wrapper.
- To prevent the egg roll from unwrapping in the deep seal the seams, this also prevents oil from filling the inside of the egg roll. For a better treat wrap a mint leaf or leaf of lettuce around eggroll & eat!
