TAKEOUT-STYLE VEGGIE EGG ROLLS RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Place the glass noodles in a large bowl and add enough hot water to cover. Let sit for 10 minutes, until softened. Drain the noodles and chop into ½-inch (1-cm) pieces.
• In a large bowl, mix together the chopped glass noodles, cabbage, carrots, scallions, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, pepper, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Toss until well combined.
• Place a spring roll wrapper on a clean work surface and add 3 tablespoons of filling to the center. Fold the bottom of the wrapper over the filling, then fold in the sides and roll. Lightly wet the exposed with your fingertip and continue rolling to seal the egg roll. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
• Fill a deep skillet with ½ inch (1 cm) of vegetable oil and heat over medium-high heat until the oil reaches 325˚F(160˚C). Fry the egg rolls in batches of 1-2 at a time for 2½- 3 minutes on each side, until crispy and golden brown. Remove from oil and drain on a wire rack or plate lined with paper towels to absorb any extra oil.
• Enjoy!

VEGAN "EGG" ROLLS (VEGETABLE SPRING ROLLS)

Steps:

• Take out spring roll wrappers if frozen to thaw. Heat oven to 375 °F.
• Prepare the veggies (can use a box grater or the shredding attachment of a food processor) and crumble the tofu. Then heat a large wok or frying pan on high heat.
• Add tofu to your pan with 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 2 tablespoons sesame oil and 1 tablespoon mirin. Cook for a few minutes to crisp up the tofu then remove it from the pan.
• Add 2 tablespoons cooking oil to the pan then the onion and garlic. Cook for 2 minutes.
• Add the mushrooms and cook 4-5 minutes. Add cabbage and carrots, then cook another 8 minutes or until the veggies are cooked down and there is minimal water in the bottom of the pan. You may need to strain excess water away.
• Reduce heat to medium-low and stir in 1 ½ tablespoons sugar, ¾ teaspoon black pepper, 4 tablespoons soy sauce, 2 tablespoons sesame oil and cook for another 1-2 minutes. Add the cooked crumbled tofu to the pan and mix together. Remove from heat after excess liquid has evaporated.
• Let your filling cool before rolling the spring rolls. To roll, place 3 tablespoons of the veggies onto the bottom half of the wrapper, fold 2 opposite corners over the middle so they meet in the middle and cover the filling, then pick up the bottom corner of the wrapper (closest to you) and roll it over the filling until the roll is closed.
• Bake rolls on a parchment lined baking sheet for a total of 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through.

VEGAN EGG ROLLS

Steps:

• Add all filling ingredients into a mixing bowl and toss to combine.
• Fill a small bowl with water.
• Lay a wrapper on a flat surface with a corner facing you. Place 2 tbsp of filling mixture near the center of the wrapper. Shape into a log.
• Run a thin layer of water around the edge of the wrapper. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold the left and right corners over and roll up.
• Repeat with remaining filling and wrappers.
• Heat the oil in a large wok and fry the rolls in batches until golden brown. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on paper towels to soak up any excess oil.
• Repeat until all rolls have been cooked.
• Serve hot with your favorite Asian dipping sauce.

VEGETARIAN SPRING ROLLS

Steps:

• Soak the rice noodles in cold water for 15 mins until pliable, then drain. Meanwhile, combine the cabbage, carrots, bean sprouts and the whites of the spring onions in a large bowl. Heat the sesame oil in a large pan and tip in the cabbage mixture. Cook over a high heat for 1-2 mins until the cabbage has wilted slightly. Add the soy sauce and Shaoxing wine. Cook until reduced slightly and add the drained noodles, coriander, and green parts of the spring onion, tossing well to ensure everything is evenly covered. Transfer to a plate and spread out to cool slightly.
• Once the mixture has cooled slightly, arrange a spring roll wrapper on your worktop in a diamond shape. Place a heaped tablespoon onto the middle of the pastry in a sausage shape. Bring up the bottom corner of the pastry and fold over the top corner. Bring over the pastry from the left side over the top of the filling and roll into shape, making sure the ends stay tucked in. Seal the final corner with a little water.
• Heat the vegetable oil in a large, deep pan to 180C, ensuring the pan is no more than two-thirds full. Cook the spring rolls in batches for 4-5 mins until golden. If you don't have a thermometer, drop a pinch of spring roll wrapper into the oil - it will sizzle when ready. Transfer to a baking sheet and keep warm in a low oven while you continue to fry. Combine all the ingredients for the spicy dipping sauce in a small bowl, taste and add more chilli oil if you like. Serve the spring rolls with the spicy dipping sauce or some sweet chilli sauce.
