The recipe calls these Egg Rolls, but there's no eggs in it so....
Shrimp Egg Rolls (you can use cooked chicken too or just plain veggies)
1 can small shrimp rinsed and drained or 1 cup frozen small cooked shrimp chopped (I use the frozen)
1 cup fresh bean sprouts
1 cup shredded green cabbage
1 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup grated carrot
1 TB veg oil
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp salt
1 pkg. egg roll wrappers (I use Azumaya lg sq. wrappers)
bowl of water
Additional oil for deep-fat frying
Step 1:
In lg. skillet, stir-fry first 6 ingr. (in the 1 TB oil) until crisp-tender; cool slightly and stir in salt and pepper.
While this is cooking, turn on your deep-fat fryer to 375 degrees to get it ready.
Step 2:
Separate wrappers and position them in a diamond shape. Spoon 1/4 cup of mixture on the bottom 3rd of each wrapper. (Kids can do this)
Fold (roll) bottom over filling, fold sides in and continue rolling. Moisten top edge with water using fingertips (Kids); roll up tightly to seal.
Step 3:
Fry egg rolls a few at a time until golden brown, turning as you go.
Drain on paper towels. Serve with Sweet-sour sauce if desired.
Sweet-sour sauce
4 1/2 tsp. cornstarch
1/3 C. sugar
1 C. pineapple juice
1/2 C. white vinegar
2 TBSP ketchup
1 tsp. soy sauce
Combine all ingr. in a small saucepan until smooth. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 1-2 mins or until thickened. Remove from heat; set aside.
