Difficulty Easy |
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground pork
- 1 package coleslaw mix with shredded cabbage and carrots
- 1 tablespoon Blazing Star BBQ Beef Rub
- 1 tablespoon chicken bouillon powder
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon mirin
- ½ tablespoon sesame oil
- Approximately 15 egg roll wrappers
- Vegetable oil for frying
- Blazing Star BBQ Asian Bang Sauce for dipping
Instructions
- Brown the pork. Add the ground pork to a skillet over medium heat. Cook until it is no longer pink, breaking it into small pieces as it cooks. Drain any excess grease.
- Season the pork. Add the Beef Rub, chicken bouillon powder, sugar, soy sauce, mirin and sesame oil. Stir until everything is evenly combined.
- Add the vegetables. Stir the coleslaw mix into the seasoned pork. Cook for a few minutes, until the cabbage and carrots begin to soften.
- Drain the filling. Transfer the mixture to a fine-mesh strainer or colander. Allow the excess liquid to drain so the egg rolls remain crispy.
- Fill the wrappers. Place approximately ⅓ cup of filling near one corner of each egg roll wrapper. Adjust the amount based on the size of your wrappers.
- Roll the egg rolls. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, fold both sides toward the center and roll tightly. Moisten the final corner with water to seal it.
- Heat the oil. Preheat the vegetable oil to 350°F to 375°F in a deep fryer or heavy pot.
- Fry the egg rolls. Fry them in small batches until crispy and golden brown, turning as needed. Do not overcrowd the oil.
- Drain and serve. Transfer the cooked egg rolls to a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate. Serve them warm with Asian Bang Sauce for dipping.
Tips for Crispy Pork Egg Rolls
- Drain the filling thoroughly before wrapping the egg rolls. Excess moisture can make the wrappers soggy or cause them to split.
- Do not overfill the wrappers. Overfilled egg rolls are harder to seal and may burst while frying.
- Roll each wrapper tightly and seal the final corner with water.
- Maintain the oil temperature between 350°F and 375°F. Oil that is too cool can produce greasy egg rolls.
- Fry in small batches so the oil temperature does not drop.
- Place finished egg rolls on a wire rack to preserve their crispy texture.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I prepare the pork egg roll filling ahead of time?
Yes. Cook and drain the filling, allow it to cool and refrigerate it in a covered container. Assemble and fry the egg rolls when you are ready to serve them.
Why should the filling be drained?
Removing excess liquid helps prevent the wrappers from becoming soggy and reduces the chance of the egg rolls splitting during frying.
Can I use a different ground meat?
Yes. Ground chicken or turkey can be substituted for the pork, although the flavor and moisture level will be slightly different.
How do I keep fried egg rolls crispy?
Drain them on a wire rack instead of stacking them on a plate. If necessary, keep them warm in a 200°F oven while frying the remaining batches.
What does Asian Bang Sauce taste like?
Blazing Star BBQ Asian Bang Sauce delivers a balanced combination of sweet, savory, spicy and umami flavors that works especially well with pork, chicken and fried appetizers.
