Beef Egg Rolls

I decided to try my hand at homemade egg rolls. I have never made egg rolls before... Nor have I ever seen them made. So I really had no idea what I was doing. But I had a recipe that I used from the back of the egg roll wrapper bag, they were Nasoya egg roll wrappers. I figured it would be a good recipe. So here is my trial into homemade beef egg rolls.

Ingredients:
1 lb ground beef, pork, chicken or firm tofu, drained and crumbled
1 tsp minced ginger
2 cups finely chopped cabbage
1/4 lb been sprouts
1/2 cup shredded carrot
3 green onions, finely chopped
2 tbsp oyster sauce
1 pkg egg roll wrappers
vegetable oil for deep frying
mustard and catsup or sweet and sour sauce

Directions
Stir-fry meat or tofu and ginger in wide skillet over high heat until lightly browned, 2-3 minutes.













Add cabbage, bean sprouts, carrot and green onion; cook 2 min.













Stir in oyster sauce. :t mixture cool.












Use 2 tbsp filling for each egg roll.













Follow folding directions.












Deep Fry at 350F, a few at a time, turning occasionally, until golden, 2-3 min. Drain on paper towels.










Serve warm with mustard and catsup, or serve with sweet and sour sauce.
makes approx 20 rolls.


Verdict... I think i either added too much oyster sauce, or should omit that all together. I am not a fan of oyster sauce, so I am not sure what to do with all these egg rolls. I ate one and I'm hoping my kids like them when they get home. :) I also think that I will add more cabbage next time, I didn't taste much of it, and that is one of my favorite parts. I hope you try it and let me know what you think. Thanks, Enjoy!
