Ingredients

• vegetable oil for frying
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1 carrot, shredded
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons chopped onion
• black pepper to taste
• 1 celery stalk, diced
• 6 cups cabbage, shredded
• 1 (4 ounce) can shrimp, drained
• 20 egg roll wrappers
• 0.125 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 cup fresh bean sprouts
• 1 tsp vegetable oil
• 1 T cornstarch
• 2 T cold water

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Mix cabbage, bean sprouts, carrot, celery, and onion together in a large bowl. Stir in shrimp, soy sauce, garlic powder, and pepper. Stir in chopped egg, then sprinkle 1 tablespoon cornstarch over top. Mix to combine and let sit for 10 minutes.

Step 2

Heat 3 to 4 inches vegetable oil in a deep fryer to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Mix water and remaining 1 tablespoon cornstarch together in a small bowl.

Step 3

Place an egg roll wrapper onto a work surface with one corner pointing away from you like a diamond. Spoon 2 to 3 tablespoons shrimp mixture into the center. Moisten the top and side corners with the wet cornstarch mixture. Fold the dry bottom corner up and over the filling, making a tight tube. Fold the side corners in, pressing to stick against the folded roll, then roll toward the top corner to complete. Repeat to make remaining egg rolls.

Step 4

Working in batches, carefully fry egg rolls in the preheated fryer until golden brown, 2 to 4 minutes. Drain on paper towels.

Step 5

Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add egg and cook, without stirring, until the bottom has set. Flip and cook until set on the other side, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and finely chop.
