Ingredients and Preparation

To make these crispy chicken egg rolls, start with some tasty ingredients. We’ll review what you need for this simple, yet delicious recipe.

Ingredients:

Ground Chicken
Ginger
Garlic
Cabbage
Carrots
Green Onions
Salt
Sugar
Sesame Oil
Egg Roll Wrappers

Begin by cooking the ground chicken on medium heat. Mince ginger and garlic while it cooks. Once cooked, add ginger and garlic into the skillet.

Add shredded cabbage and carrots. Also, include green onions slices. These veggies give the rolls crunch and taste. Add salt, sugar, and sesame oil to flavor.

Cook until the veggies are slightly soft. Make sure they stay crisp. Let the mix cool before rolling.

To make the rolls, put 2 tablespoons of mix on each wrapper. Use a beaten egg to glue the edges of the wrappers.

Roll up tightly, ensuring the filling is enclosed. The egg wash helps seal the wrapper.

“The key to achieving that irresistible crispy texture is frying the egg rolls until they turn golden brown.”

Heat oil to 375 degrees F in a pot. Fry the egg rolls until golden and crispy. Drain them on paper towels afterwards.

Your delicious crispy chicken egg rolls are ready to enjoy!

Assembly and Fry

You’ve made a tasty filling for your crispy chicken egg rolls. Now, let’s wrap and fry them until golden. This will mix the flavors well and give you the crunchy bites you want.

To start, place about 2 tablespoons of filling on an egg roll wrapper. Spread the mixture, leaving space at the edges.

Then, brush the wrapper edges with beaten egg. This acts as glue, keeping the egg rolls sealed during frying. Make sure to coat all edges well.

Tip: New to egg roll wrappers? Don’t stress! Just follow the packet’s folding directions for an easy rolling guide.

Roll up the egg roll tightly after brushing the edges. Use pressure for a tight fit. Repeat with the rest of the filling and wrappers.

Now, it’s frying time. Heat oil in a fryer or pot to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Add a few egg rolls to the hot oil. Avoid crowding the pot. Fry until they’re golden brown, about 3-4 minutes on each side. Flip them over halfway through for an even fry.

Tip: No fryer? No problem. You can shallow fry in a skillet, too. Just use enough oil to cover them halfway, and flip once for even cooking.

When they’re golden and crispy, move the egg rolls to a plate with paper towels. This drains extra oil.
