Thai Crispy Eggrolls Recipes

CRISPY THAI SPRING ROLLS RECIPE

Steps:

• Heat the vegetable oil in a large wok over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, then add the chicken mince and stir fry until cooked through (around 2-3 minutes).
• Add the bean sprouts, carrot, baby corn and spring onion and mix thoroughly.
• Add the fish sauce, oyster sauce and sugar and stir.
• Finally add the glass noodles and stir through until ingredients are evenly mixed and the liquid has mostly evaporated.
• Lay out one spring roll pastry or wrapper on a clean surface (smooth side down). If using a square wrapper, have one of the corners facing towards you.
• Place a scoop of filling in one corner of the wrapper. Fold the bottom corner of the wrapper up and over the filling, pressing in firmly to remove any air pockets. Keep rolling up to the centre of the wrapper.
• Rub water over the top edges of the wrapper, then fold in the left and right sides and keep rolling up tightly.
• Heat the canola oil in the wok over a medium heat, ready to deep fry. Slide each spring roll into the wok slowly to avoid splashing. Deep fry until golden brown, around 4-6 minutes.
• Transfer to a strainer or place on kitchen paper towel to drain the oil.
• Serve with your chosen dipping sauce such as nuoc mam cham.

THAI VEGETARIAN EGG ROLLS

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Mix all stir-fry sauce ingredients together in a cup. Set aside.
• If frozen, remove egg roll wrappers from the freezer and allow to thaw while you prepare the filling.
• Place a wok or large frying pan over medium-high heat. Swirl 1 tablespoon oil around the pan, then add garlic and, if using, chili. Stir-fry 30 seconds to release the fragrance.
• Add the mushrooms plus 1 tablespoon wine. Stir-fry 1 to 2 minutes until mushrooms have softened. Add more wine whenever the pan becomes dry.
• Add the cabbage and spring onions, continuing to stir-fry in the same way for another 1 to 2 minutes, or until cabbage has softened slightly.
• Push ingredients to the side of your wok or frying pan. Break the egg(s) into the space you have made, then quickly scramble the eggs .
• When most of the egg is cooked, mix it up with the other ingredients. If making a vegan version, add the tofu now.
• Add the bean sprouts and stir-fry sauce. Stir-fry briefly, about 1 minute, allowing the bean sprouts to stay crisp.
• Remove from heat and do a taste-test. If not salty enough, add some more fish sauce (or salt for vegans) to adjust the flavor.
• Separate 3 to 6 egg roll wrappers, one at a time, from the package and place on a clean, dry surface. Turn wrapper so it is a diamond, with one of the pointy edges facing you.
• Place about 1 heaping tablespoon of the stir-fry mixture in the center of the first wrapper. Try to omit using as much liquid as possible-a drier filling is better.
• Fold the sides of the wrapper over the filling, then roll up from the bottom.
• Pinch the center (if necessary) to create a round, sausage-like roll. Secure the end of the roll by brushing with a little beaten egg (vegans can use water).
• Continue rolling in this way until all the filling has been used up. As you work, place finished egg rolls on a plate and cover with a damp cloth to keep them from drying out.
• Place 1 cup (or more) oil in a small frying pan over high heat-oil should be about 1-inch deep. When oil starts to form thin moving lines across the bottom of the pan, turn down the heat slightly.
• Dip a corner of one egg roll into the oil. If it begins to sizzle and cook, the oil is ready. If nothing happens, allow oil to heat up a little longer.
• When the oil is ready, carefully slide egg rolls in, or place them in oil with tongs. Allow to cook 1 minute, until golden brown, and flip using tongs to cook the other side.
• Place cooked egg rolls on a clean cloth or paper towel to drain.
• Serve hot with Thai sweet chili sauce as a dip (available at most grocery stores or Asian food stores). ​

BEST EGG ROLLS

Steps:

• Season pork with ginger and garlic powder and mix thoroughly. Heat mixture in a medium skillet, stirring, until pork is cooked through and no longer pink. Set aside.
• In another large skillet heat oil to about 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) or medium high heat. While oil is heating, combine flour and water in a bowl until they form a paste. In a separate bowl combine the cabbage, carrots and reserved pork mixture. Mix all together.
• Lay out one egg roll skin with a corner pointed toward you. Place about a 1/4 to 1/3 cup of the cabbage, carrot and pork mixture on egg roll paper and fold corner up over the mixture. Fold left and right corners toward the center and continue to roll. Brush a bit of the flour paste on the final corner to help seal the egg roll.
• Place egg rolls into heated oil and fry, turning occasionally, until golden brown. Remove from oil and drain on paper towels or rack. Put on serving plate and top with sesame seeds if desired.

SCRUMPTIOUS OVEN-BAKED EGG ROLLS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• Heat olive oil and 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil in a skillet over medium-high heat; cook and stir tofu, working in batches, until lightly browned on 1 side, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip using chopsticks and cook until lightly browned on the other side, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Whisk water, soy sauce, brown sugar, cornstarch, ancho chile pepper, and garlic together in a bowl, adding more water if sauce gets clumpy.
• Mix tofu, cabbage, carrot, cucumber, cilantro, and green onions together in a bowl; mix in sauce until coated. Spoon mixture down the center of each egg roll wrapper; roll wrapper around the filling. Apply water to the edges of the wrapper so it sticks together. Arrange egg rolls on the prepared baking sheet and spray with cooking spray.
• Bake in the preheated oven, flipping halfway through, until golden brown, 20 to 30 minutes.

THAI SPRING ROLLS

Steps:

• Soak bean thread noodles in warm water for 10 minutes, drain, and cut into approximately 1" sections.
• Mix ground pork, noodles, vegetables, and seasonings in a large bowl.
• Place 2 tsp of filling in corner of spring roll wrap, roll to middle, fold in side corners, use the beaten egg to seal the top corner as you finish rolling the spring roll.
• Deep-fry the spring rolls in batches so that they don't stick together, and drain on papertowels. Serve while still hot with Sweet chili sauce for chicken (found in most Asian food stores).
• Alternatively, freeze the rolls prior to deep-frying. Fry when needed, and they will be just as good as if you had rolled them that day.

CRISPY EGG ROLLS

Steps:

• Marinate sliced chicken for 5-10 minutes.
• Heat wok on high, and add chicken, stirring until lightly cooked. (NOTE: Do not over cook, chicken will be reheated later). Remove chicken from wok and set aside.
• Heat a little oil in wok and add garlic and ginger. Brown very lightly, then add cabbage carrot, onion, celery, and green onion. Stir until cabbage and onion is slightly limp. Stir in soy sauce, oyster sauce, and cornstarch mixture. Add salt to taste. Remove from wok and allow to cool to room temperature or colder (very important!).
• Heat oil in sauce pan or wok for deep frying. Do not get too hot; about medium to med-high is fine.
• Beat egg white in a bowl until fluffy.
• Separate eggroll wrappers and store under a towel to prevent drying.
• On a plate, lay out a wrapper diagonally (with a corner pointing to you) and fill with about 1/2 cup filling (It is important for the filling to be cooled. If it is hot, the wrapper will tear). Fold corner closest to you over filling and tuck under.
• Gently but tightly roll about halfway up.
• Fold side corners toward the middle.
• Continue rolling up and leave about 2 inches unrolled.
• Brush a small amount of egg white on the exposed corner and finish rolling.
• Fry eggrolls until crispy golden brown.
• Remove and place on paper towels to drain.
