Soft and Fragrant Egg Rolls Recipe
Ingredients:
For the Filling:
- 500 grams ground chicken thigh
- 1 large egg
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Chinese five-spice powder
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons tapioca flour
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
For the Egg Roll Wrappers:
- 5 large eggs
- 100 ml water
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon tapioca flour
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Filling:
- In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken thigh, egg, minced garlic, and Chinese five-spice powder. Mix thoroughly.
- Add the all-purpose flour, tapioca flour, cornstarch, dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, and black pepper. Stir until the mixture is well combined and smooth.
-
Prepare the Egg Roll Wrappers:
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, water, all-purpose flour, and tapioca flour until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease the skillet if necessary.
- Pour a small amount of the egg mixture into the skillet, tilting it to spread the mixture evenly into a thin layer. Cook until the wrapper is set and lightly golden, about 1-2 minutes. Remove and set aside. Repeat with the remaining mixture.
-
Assemble the Egg Rolls:
- Place a thin egg wrapper on a clean surface. Spoon approximately 2 tablespoons of the chicken filling mixture onto the wrapper.
- Roll the wrapper tightly around the filling, similar to making spring rolls. Ensure the ends are sealed well to enclose the filling completely.
-
Steam the Egg Rolls:
- Wrap each egg roll in plastic wrap or aluminum foil, ensuring they are tightly sealed.
- Arrange the wrapped egg rolls in a steamer basket, making sure they are not touching each other.
- Steam over medium heat for about 40 minutes, or until the filling is cooked through and the texture is firm.
-
Serve:
- Once steamed, carefully remove the egg rolls from the wrap and let them cool slightly before slicing.
- Serve warm as an appetizer or side dish.
Enjoy these soft and fragrant egg rolls, perfect for any occasion and sure to impress your family and friends!
