Servings: 12 egg rolls
Calories: 74kcal
Equipment
- Wok or Dutch Oven
Ingredients
- 12 Vegan egg roll wrappers
- 1-2 tbsp Vegetable oil for frying
Filling
- 2 cups green cabbage, shredded
- 1 carrot, shredded
- 1 green onion, thinly sliced
- 3 mushrooms, finely diced
- 2 tbsp chopped cilantro optional
- ½ tsp salt
- 2 tsp sesame oil
- 4 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp crushed garlic
- 1 tsp crushed ginger
Instructions
- Add all filling ingredients into a mixing bowl and toss to combine.
- Fill a small bowl with water.
- Lay a wrapper on a flat surface with a corner facing you. Place 2 tbsp of filling mixture near the center of the wrapper. Shape into a log.
- Run a thin layer of water around the edge of the wrapper. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold the left and right corners over and roll up.
- Repeat with remaining filling and wrappers.
- Heat the oil in a large wok and fry the rolls in batches until golden brown. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on paper towels to soak up any excess oil.
- Repeat until all rolls have been cooked.
- Serve hot with your favorite Asian dipping sauce.
Notes
- Don't overfill the egg rolls or they will be difficult to roll.
- You can find vegan egg roll wrappers in the refrigerated section near the tofu.
- Be sure to let the oil heat up first. If you don't, you'll end up with soggy egg rolls because they will absorb excess oil and become greasy.
- If your vegan eggrolls are browning too quickly, turn down the heat to low or medium low.
- These egg rolls are meant to be pan fried, which means they won't be deep fried or submerged in oil, so you only need about 1 tablespoon of oil to cook each batch in. If you cook all the egg rolls at once, use 2 tablespoons of oil. If you cook them in two batches, use 1 tablespoon for each batch. You can deep fry these egg rolls but it's not necessary - they will get nice and crispy in the pan!
