Chinese Egg Roll
Chinese egg rolls are a popular Chinese dish made with a savory filling wrapped in a thin egg-based pastry and deep-fried in oil. The filling usually includes cabbage, pork, shrimp, or other meats, and vegetables such as carrots, mushrooms, and bamboo shoots. The egg roll is usually served with a dipping sauce such as soy sauce or sweet and sour sauce. Egg rolls are a popular appetizer in Chinese cuisine, as well as in many other Asian cuisines.
Ingredients (2 Persons)
- 2 cups shredded cabbage
- 1 carrot, shredded
- 1/4 cup diced onion
- 1/4 cup diced celery
- 2 cloves garlic, minced

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the cabbage, carrot, onion, celery, garlic, ginger, sesame oil, black pepper, and salt until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes.

Lay an egg roll wrapper on a flat surface and spoon a heaping tablespoon of the vegetable filling in the center.

Step 6
Fold the bottom corner of the wrapper over the filling and tuck it in slightly. Fold the left and right corners in towards the center. Roll the egg roll up and press the top corner down to secure the egg roll closed.
