Crispy Chicken Egg Rolls with Savory Carrot Filling

Delicious Chicken Egg Rolls Recipe

Ingredients:

For the Filling:

• 500g chicken (both breast and thigh, finely chopped)
• 200g carrots (grated)
• 2 egg whites
• 3 cloves garlic (minced)
• 1 tablespoon tapioca starch
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon sugar (adjust to taste)
• Salt (to taste)
• Seasoning (optional)

For the Wrapper:

• 2 egg whites
• 3 whole eggs
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 150ml water
• A little cooking oil (for frying)
• Banana leaves/plastic wrap/foil (for wrapping)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Filling:

   • In a blender, combine the finely chopped chicken, grated carrots, egg whites, minced garlic, tapioca starch, cornstarch, sesame oil, soy sauce, sugar, salt, and any additional seasoning. Blend until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
   • Transfer the blended mixture to a bowl and set aside.

2. Make the Wrapper:

   • In a separate bowl, mix the egg whites, whole eggs, cornstarch, all-purpose flour, and water until you achieve a smooth batter.
   • Heat a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium heat and lightly grease it with cooking oil.
   • Pour a small amount of batter into the skillet, tilting it to spread the batter evenly. Cook until the wrapper is set and lightly golden, then flip and cook the other side. Repeat until all the batter is used, making thin, crepe-like wrappers.

3. Assemble the Egg Rolls:

   • Place a spoonful of the prepared chicken filling onto the center of each wrapper.
   • Roll the wrapper around the filling, folding in the sides to enclose the mixture completely.
   • Wrap each egg roll tightly with banana leaves, plastic wrap, or foil, ensuring they are securely sealed.

4. Steam the Egg Rolls:

   • Arrange the wrapped egg rolls in a steamer and steam over boiling water for about 20 minutes, or until the filling is cooked through and the wrappers are firm.

5. Fry and Serve:

   • Allow the steamed egg rolls to cool slightly before unwrapping. Slice them into desired pieces.
   • Heat some oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Fry the egg rolls in batches until they are golden brown and crispy on all sides.
   • Remove from the oil and drain on paper towels.

6. Enjoy:

   • Serve your homemade chicken egg rolls hot, accompanied by your favorite dipping sauces.
