Miriams Egg Rolls Recipes

MINI EGG ROLLS

Steps:

• Heat sesame oil and saute ginger 30 seconds. Add scallions and saute 30 seconds. Stir in soy sauce and evaporate a second. Stir in eggs and stir to softly scramble. Remove from heat and transfer to a bowl; stir in carrots, steamed napa cabbage and chili paste to taste.
• Divide wrappers into half, so you can make mini egg rolls. Set each wrapper at such an angle that the points of the wrapper face north, south, east and west. Set a bit of filling in bottom third of wrapper. Bring bottom point over filling and tuck it underneath; roll the filling up a bit to secure tightly. Bring right point of wrapper over filling to form a neat right angle; bring left side of wrapper over right side to form a left right angle, and dab this top point with egg yolk. Roll the egg roll up to secure tightly. The egg yolk will seal the wrapper to itself.
• Can be frozen for up to a week. Deep fry straight from freezer; otherwise partially thaw before frying.
• To fry: Heat the oil and deep fry long enough for the rolls to float to surface; turning them, for 2 to 3 minutes. Drain immediately on double thickness of paper towels. Once drained, set on a rack so bottom does not get soggy.

IRISH EGG ROLLS

Steps:

• Squeeze out any excess moisture from the cabbage and chop; shred the corned beef. Toss the cabbage, corned beef and carrots together in a medium bowl and season with salt and pepper.
• Heat the oil in a deep fryer or large Dutch oven until a deep-fry thermometer inserted in the oil registers 350 degrees F.
• Lay out the wonton wrappers and top each with 1 slice of cheese, followed by about 1/2 cup of the corned beef filling. Wet the edges of the wrappers and roll to seal.
• In batches, fry the egg rolls until golden brown, turning if necessary to ensure even browning, for about 5 minutes. Let drain on paper towels and serve hot with stout mustard for dipping!
• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
• Place the corned beef in a colander in the sink and rinse well under cold running water.
• Place the corned beef in a large Dutch oven with a tight-fitting lid; add the water, bay leaves, peppercorns, allspice, and cloves. Bring to a boil, uncovered, and skim off any scum that rises to the surface. Cover and transfer pan to the oven, and braise until very tender, about 3 hours and 45 minutes.
• Transfer the corned beef to a cutting board and cover tightly with foil to keep warm. Add the cabbage and potatoes to the cooking liquid and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer until the vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes.
• Using a slotted spoon, transfer the cabbage to a large platter. Slice the corned beef across the grain of the meat into thin slices. Lay the slices over the cabbage and surround it with the potatoes. Ladle some of the hot cooking liquid over the corned beef and season with pepper. Serve immediately with the mustard or Horseradish Sauce.
• In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, sour cream, horseradish, zest, and 2 teaspoons salt. Season generously with pepper to taste. Refrigerate the horseradish sauce for at least 30 minutes before serving.
