Cajun Egg Rolls Recipes

CAJUN EGG ROLLS

Steps:

• * can be chicken, beef, pork, or shrimp or all of them. For sauce, stir together all of the above. Set this aside. Pour 1 tbsp. of oil into the wok. Heat it up (medium heat) Stir-fry garlic for 15 seconds. Add green or red peppers. Stir-fry for 30 seconds. Add cabbage and green onions. Stir-fry for 1.5 to 2.5 minutes or till crisp-tender. Remove vegetables. Add meat to the wok. Stir fry until all pink is gone. Push meat to the sides of the wok. Stir the sauce. Add sauce to the center of the wok. Cook and stir until sauce is thick and bubbly. Add cooked vegetables to the wok. Stir all ingredients together to coat with sauce. Cook and stir about 1 minute more or till heated through. Remove from skillet; cool. When the filling is cooled, make the egg rolls. I will set myself up at the table with my filling, my wrappers, a small bowl with water in it, a spoon. Separate one wrapper. Put in the meat. Don't fill them too much. Put about 1 1/2 tsp. in the wrapper. Spread it out. Wrap it and seal the edge with water. (See wrapper cartons for directions in filling them.) Fry egg rolls in about 2 inches of cooking oil in the wok. Watch them very carefully. They burn easily. Serve with a sweet and sour sauce.

CAJUN EGG SANDWICH

Steps:

• Whisk mayonnaise and Cajun seasoning together in a small bowl until smooth. Spread over both slices of toasted bread.
• Place andouille sausage in a skillet, cut-side down. Cook over medium-high heat for 2 minutes. Flip and cook for 2 minutes more. Transfer andouille to one slice of bread, leaving a small space in between the halves as a "raft" to hold the egg in place.
• Heat oil in the same skillet for 1 minute over medium heat. Crack egg into the skillet and let cook undisturbed for 3 minutes. Flip with a spatula and cook for 2 minutes more. Place fried egg on top of the andouille and cover with the second slice of bread.

SHRIMP EGG ROLLS

Steps:

• Heat sesame oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add ginger and garlic; cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in cabbage, bean sprouts, and oyster sauce; saute until veggies start to turn translucent, about 5 minutes. Add shrimp and soy sauce, stir, and remove from heat. Set aside until filling is cool enough to handle.
• Heat 2 inches oil in a deep skillet to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• While oil is heating, place an egg roll wrapper on a dry work surface. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of filling onto the center of the wrapper. Pull the bottom left corner over the filling and fold the two sides in, moistening edges with water as you go; roll tightly to seal. Repeat to make a few more egg rolls, wiping the work surface between each roll.
• Place several egg rolls in the hot oil and fry until wrappers are golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain while you make and cook remaining egg rolls.
• Combine duck sauce, oyster sauce, and soy sauce; stir until well combined. Serve sauce with egg rolls.

CAJUN EGG ROLLS

Steps:

• Dice the sausage to about the same size as the corn.
• Cook sausage in a skillet over low heat.
• After about 3-4 minutes, add onion and garlic.
• Simmer together for about 10 minutes.
• Remove from heat.
• Stir all ingredients together in large bowl.
• To form egg rolls: Place the wrapper on a flat surface with one corner pointed toward you.
• Moisten the edges of the wrapper with water.
• Place three Tbsp of the mixture in the center of the wrapper.
• Fold the corner pointing towards you over the mixture, and press it tight.
• Fold the right and left corners over the mixture and adhere them to the first fold.
• Roll the package over itself to seal the last flap, like and envelope.
• Make sure to seal it well.
• Heat oil to 400, fry egg rolls in small batches until crisp and heated through.
• Serve with Remoulade Dipping Sauce (see my other recipes).

CAJUN CORNBREAD STUFFING EGG ROLLS

Steps:

• Place a large skillet over medium-high heat with the butter. Once melted, add the Andouille sausage and cook, stirring often, until rendered and crispy. Add the onion, garlic, carrot, celery, and bell pepper. Cook until the vegetables have softened, about 8 minutes. Season with the Cajun seasoning.
• Transfer the mixture to a large bowl and let cool slightly. Add the crumbled cornbread, stuffing mix, and chicken stock. Mix until well combined. If the mixture appears to be too dry, add a bit more chicken stock. Let cool completely.
• Working with one egg roll wrapper at a time, lay it down so a point is facing you and it looks like a diamond. Fill the center with about 2 tablespoons of stuffing. Then bring the two side points into the center and roll into a tight log. Seal the end with a bit of water mixed with the cornstarch. Continue filling and rolling the rest until all the stuffing has been used.
• Fill a heavy-duty Dutch oven about halfway up with vegetable oil and heat to 350 degrees F. Fry the egg rolls in batches, until golden brown and crispy all around, about 4 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Serve warm with gravy for dipping!
