Ingredients

Scale

Filling Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • 2 teaspoons fresh minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon fresh minced ginger
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 cups shredded cabbage
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1 green onion, thinly sliced

Wrapper and Frying Ingredients

  • 14 egg roll wrappers
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 3 cups vegetable oil (for frying)

Instructions

  1. Heat oil: In a large, deep skillet, add the vegetable oil. Heat the oil over medium-low heat until it reaches 375°F (190°C), preparing for deep frying.
  2. Cook filling: In a separate large skillet over medium-high heat, add the ground chicken, fresh minced garlic, and ginger. Crumble and brown the chicken until fully cooked. Season with salt and pepper. Add shredded cabbage, shredded carrots, and sliced green onion to the skillet and stir to combine. Stir-fry for an additional 5 minutes or until the mixture is heated through. Turn off the heat and remove from the burner.
  3. Prepare sealing paste: In a small bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour and water to create a paste. This paste will be used to seal the egg rolls before frying.
  4. Wrap egg rolls: Lay one egg roll wrapper on a clean, flat surface with a corner pointing towards you. Place about 1/4 cup of the chicken mixture in the center of the wrapper. Fold the bottom corner up over the filling, then fold the two side corners toward the center. Roll tightly toward the top corner, brushing some flour paste on the top corner to seal the egg roll. Repeat until all egg rolls are wrapped.
  5. Fry egg rolls: Carefully place 2 to 3 egg rolls at a time into the hot oil heated to 375°F. Fry for approximately 2 minutes, turning gently with tongs to ensure even browning on all sides. Remove the golden brown egg rolls and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  6. Serve: Serve the crispy chicken egg rolls hot, with sweet and sour sauce or your preferred dipping sauce.

Notes

  • Ensure oil temperature stays steady at 375°F for crispy, non-greasy egg rolls.
  • Do not overcrowd the oil while frying to maintain temperature and even cooking.
  • You can customize the filling by adding mushrooms or bean sprouts for extra texture and flavor.
  • Using fresh wrappers makes rolling easier and prevents cracking.
  • Let fried egg rolls drain on paper towels to remove excess oil for a healthier result.
