- 2 cups bean sprouts, shredded
- 1 teaspoon ginger
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon tarragon
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 18 egg roll wrappers
Instructions:
-
Prep the Ingredients: Start by finely shredding the cooked pork, celery, radishes, and scallions using a small food processor. Place these ingredients in a large mixing bowl.
-
Prepare Water Chestnuts and Shrimp: Rinse the water chestnuts and shrimp under cold water. Finely shred both and add them to the bowl with the pork mixture.
-
Add Vegetables: Shred the cabbage and carrots together until you have approximately 2 cups of shredded mix. Combine this with the pork mixture.
-
Incorporate Bean Sprouts: Shred the bean sprouts with a quick pulse in the food processor and add them to the mixture.
-
Season the Mixture: Sprinkle in the ginger, garlic powder, salt, cumin, tarragon, and black pepper. Stir thoroughly and taste. Adjust the seasoning according to your preference by adding more salt, garlic, or other spices if desired.
-
Assemble the Egg Rolls: Lay an egg roll wrapper flat on a clean surface. Place a loose 1/3 cup of filling in the center of the wrapper, forming it into a small log shape. Fold the sides of the wrapper over the filling, then start rolling from the bottom up, ensuring the sides are tucked in neatly.
-
Prepare for Baking: Place the rolled egg rolls on a greased cookie sheet, making sure they do not touch each other.
-
Bake the Egg Rolls: Lightly brush the tops of the egg rolls with olive oil. Bake in a preheated 375°F (190°C) oven for 30 minutes, or until the egg rolls are golden and crispy.
