Homemade Egg Rolls

I love egg rolls.  They are always a nice treat when eating out.  The other day I saw egg roll wraps for sale in the store.  They were very reasonably priced (around $2), so I thought it would be worth trying.  I followed the recipe on the Nasoya Egg Roll package as close as I could.  I even made my own sweet and sour sauce.  We served these with rice, they were amazing.  We baked them instead of frying, so we didn't feel as guilty.  These are definitely worth trying.  You can adjust the recipe very easily to your likely.  They are  also great as leftovers!

Here is Nasoya's Recipe 

My changes...
I did not add any ground pork, we kept ours vegetarian.  Also I substituted regular onion (minced) for the green onions.  We didn't have any sprouts so those were left out.  Also, we didn't have oyster sauce, not something we keep in our frig.  But we do always have fish sauce for curries, so I used some of that in it.  The ginger really makes these, so double it if you like.  Also, we added purple cabbage, garlic and a little salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper to taste (we like our food spicy!). If you bake them, I recommend flipping them after they have cooked for 7 minutes or so.  Also, I bake my longer about 15 - 20 minutes total.

Ingredients:
1 pkg Nasoya® Egg Roll Wraps
1 lb lean ground pork
1 tsp minced ginger
2 cups cabbage, finely chopped
1/4 lb bean sprouts
1/2 cup carrot, shredded
3 green onions, finely chopped
2 tbsp oyster sauce
Canola oil if frying
Non-stick cooking spray if baking
Olive oil as needed if baking
Optional Sauce for dipping

Preparation Method: Stir-fry meat and ginger in skillet over high heat until lightly browned, 2-3 minutes. Add cabbage, bean sprouts, carrots and green onions; cook 2 minutes. Stir in oyster sauce. Let mixture cool. Use 2 tbsp filling for each egg roll. Fold bottom corner over filling, then fold in side corners. Brush top corner with water and roll up wrap tightly to enclose filling, sealing roll with top flap.

Frying Option: In a large skillet, heat oil to 350° F and place rolls flap down, a few at a time, turning occasionally, until golden, 2-3 minutes. Drain on paper towels.

Baking Option: Heat oven to 400° F. Place rolls on a baking sheet coated with non-stick cooking spray. Lightly brush the tops with olive oil and bake until golden brown, about 10-12 minutes.
