Ingredients

The following ingredients have 12 Servings
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon dehydrated minced onion
  • 1/2 teaspoon grated ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon grated garlic
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried red pepper flakes
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon Chinese five spice
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds, (white or black or a combination of both)
  • ¼ cup green onions, (finely sliced (plus more for garnish))
  • 14 ounces packaged shredded coleslaw mix
  • 12 egg roll wrappers
  • ½ cup frozen green peas
  • Vegetable oil for deep frying
  • ¼ cup water

Instruction

  • In a large skillet, over medium heat, add all of the ingredients except the peas, vegetable oil, and water. Sauté for 5 minutes until the coleslaw mix begins to wilt.
  • Add the peas and continue to cook for 5 more minutes. Remove from heat and allow mixture to cool completely.
  • In the meantime, set up a clean working area to roll the filling into the wrappers. A large cutting board works well. Also, have close by, the ¼ cup of water.
  • I recommend rolling the spring rolls first and then deep frying so that you can give your full attention to the hot oil.
  • Retrieve one wrapper and position it on the cutting board so that one corner points directly toward you (like a diamond shape) and place 1/4 cup of the filling in the center
  • Lift the corner closest to you over the top of the filling, fold in the left and right sides, and roll the eggroll wrapper up to almost the end; dip your index finger in the water and moisten the tip of the only remaining exposed corner; continue to roll to the end. The water will act as a glue and keep the roll tight.
  • Once all of your spring rolls are assembled, bring cooking oil to optimum frying temperature of 350 degrees and gently insert the rolls into the hot oil. Fry for 2 minutes per side; remove from oil and drain on paper towels.
  • Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds. Serve immediately. The Chinese Sweet and Sour Sauce is optional, but easy to make. See notes.
