It’s been a long time since I posted! Shame on me! This tasty recipe for baked egg rolls is super delicious, easy and very healthy. My five year old helped me “roll” the egg rolls, and both my kids loved the end result. The green onions are the only ingrediant that requires chopping. Everything else is just opening packages. I found egg roll wrappers in the produce section by the tofu, and oyster sauce is in the Asian food aisle. Get your kids to help and have fun! (Yes my daughter is pictured below still in her jammies at dinner time. And yes she’s wearing Christmas jammies in April.)
Crispy Baked Egg Rolls
2 tbsp. olive oil
16 oz. bag cole slaw mix (cabbage or broccoli slaw)
4 green onions, chopped
1 1/2 cups bean sprouts
1 tbsp. white wine (vermouth or sake)
2 tbsp. oyster sauce
2 tbsp. soy sauce
2 eggs (optional)
1/2 tbsp. cornstarch
20 egg roll wrappers
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Heat oil in a large pan over medium to medium high heat. Add coleslaw, green onions, bean sprouts, wine, oyster sauce, and soy sauce. Stir- fry until cabbage is wilted, 3 – 5 minutes. Push contents of pan to the outside leaving a well in the center. Whisk eggs in a small bowl and add to pan. Let the eggs cook for about 1 minute then stir until soft scrambled. Mix everything together. Mix cornstarch with 1 tbsp. cold water and stir into cabbage mixture. Stir for about 1 minute until sauce is thickened.
Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray. Place a 1/4 cup of the mixture in center of egg roll wrapper turned like a diamond.
Fold the bottom corner up over the filling. Fold in both sides, then roll upward. Put a dab of water on the top corner to seal the roll. Place on baking sheet seam side down.
Repeat with remaining mixture and wrappers, about 20. Egg rolls can be placed close together on baking sheet but cannot touch. Spray the tops with cooking spray and bake until golden brown, about 15 to 18 minutes. Serve with sweet and sour sauce and Chinese hot mustard.
