Egg Rolls1 package egg roll wrappers
1 chicken breast, cut into TINY cubes OR 1/2cup small -or chopped- shrimp
1/2 head cabbage, shredded
1 med onion, sliced in THIN wedges
1/2 red pepper, chopped small
1 can mushrooms, drained and chopped
garlic powder
2 Tbs peanut oil
1 Tsp corn starch
2 Tbs soy sauce
1/2 tsp sugar
1/4 tsp salt
pinch of ginger
deep fryer
Fry meat in skillet with oil. When cooked, add vegetables and garlic powder to taste. Stir frequently so nothing burns, but cook until limp.
Mix corn starch, soy sauce, sugar, salt and ginger together, stir into mixture. Cook until thickened, then remove from heat and cool completely.
Take an egg roll wrapper and place on counter in front of you with a corner facing you- like a diamond. Place 2 Tbs-1/4 c of mixture in the lower-center of wrapper. Fold the corner facing you up and over mixture. Take the side corners and fold them over the middle, so it resembles an envelope. Make sure the mixture is not showing. Dampen the edges of the top corner with water and roll the egg roll up- the damp edges will seal it. Deep fry the egg rolls at a high temp for 2-3 minutes, until browned. Do not overcrowd the fryer.
You can either roll the egg rolls ahead of time, or heat oil and cook as you make them.
