Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ground chicken
  • 2 tsp ginger minced
  • 2 tsp garlic minced
  • 2.5 cups shredded coleslaw mix (cabbage and carrots)
  • 3 green onions sliced
  • 0.5 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp sugar
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 0.25 tsp Chinese five spice powder
  • 20 egg roll wrappers
  • 1 large egg beaten
  • 1 quart vegetable oil for frying

Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Frying pan or deep fryer
  • Spatula or tongs
  • Paper towels
  • Cutting board
  • Knife

Method
 

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, minced ginger, minced garlic, coleslaw mix, sliced green onions, salt, sugar, sesame oil, and Chinese five spice powder. Mix everything together until well incorporated.
  2. Lay out an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface, with one corner pointing towards you. Place about 2-3 tablespoons of the filling in the center of the wrapper. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides. Roll it tightly away from you, sealing the top corner with a little beaten egg.
  3. In a frying pan or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
  4. Carefully place a few egg rolls in the hot oil, frying them for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. Transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
  5. Once all the egg rolls are fried, serve them hot with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

  • Experiment with spices in the filling for extra flavor.
  • Bake at 400°F for 20-25 minutes for a healthier option.
  • Ensure oil is hot enough before frying for a crispy texture.
