Homemade Chicken Egg Rolls
🛒 What You’ll Need
- 1 lb Ground chicken 🍗
- 1 package Egg roll wrappers 🥢
- 2 cups Coleslaw mix (shredded cabbage and carrots) 🥬🥕
- 2 Green onions, thinly sliced 🧅
- 2 tbsp Soy sauce 🍶
- 1 tbsp Sesame oil 🏺
- 1 tsp Fresh ginger, minced 🫚
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced 🧄
- 1 Egg, beaten (for sealing the wrappers) 🥚
- Vegetable oil for frying 🫒🔥
- Salt & Pepper to taste 🧂🖤
👩🍳 Instructions
- Cook the Filling: In a large skillet, brown the ground chicken over medium-high heat until fully cooked. Drain any excess fat. 🥩🔥
- Add the Veggies: Stir in the garlic, ginger, and coleslaw mix. Cook for 2–3 minutes just until the cabbage begins to wilt. 🥬🥕🌪️
- Season: Add the soy sauce, sesame oil, and green onions. Toss everything together, then remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly. 🍶✨
- The Wrap: Place an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface in a diamond shape. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of filling into the center. 💎🥄
- Fold & Seal: Fold the bottom corner over the filling, tuck in the sides, and roll tightly. Brush the top corner with the beaten egg to seal it shut—just like a little envelope! ✉️🤝✨
- Get it Crispy: Heat about 1 inch of oil in a deep skillet to 350°F. Carefully add the egg rolls (don’t overcrowd!) and fry for 3–5 minutes, turning occasionally until they are golden-brown and bubbly as seen in the photo! ⏲️🥨🤤
- Serve: Drain on paper towels and serve hot with sweet chili sauce or hot mustard! 🍽️🔥😋
🔥 Pro Tips:
- The “Cool” Secret: Make sure your filling isn’t steaming hot when you wrap it, or the wrappers will get soggy before they hit the oil! 🌬️🛡️💎
- Air Fryer Version: Brush the egg rolls with a little oil and air fry at 400°F for 10–12 minutes, flipping halfway through for a healthier crunch! 🌬️🔥🎯
