Ingredients
Scale
Egg Roll Wrappers
- 8 egg roll wrappers
Filling
- 1 bag (about 14 oz) cole slaw mix (shredded cabbage and carrots)
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Other
- Cooking spray (olive oil or vegetable oil)
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling: In a medium bowl, combine the cole slaw mix, minced garlic, ground ginger, soy sauce, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix well to evenly distribute the seasonings.
- Cook the Filling: Cover the bowl with a microwave-safe plate or wrap and microwave the mixture for 3-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender. Drain any excess liquid, then stir the filling to coat it well with the seasonings.
- Preheat Oven: Heat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Prepare the Egg Roll Wrappers: Lay one egg roll wrapper on a clean flat surface with a corner pointing towards you, forming a diamond shape.
- Add the Filling: Spoon 2-3 tablespoons of the cooked cole slaw mixture onto the center of the wrapper.
- Wrap the Egg Rolls: Fold the corner closest to you over the filling, then fold in both sides snugly. Roll tightly away from you towards the remaining corner. Seal the edge with a little water to help it stick.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the wrapped egg rolls seam-side down on the parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them evenly.
- Apply Cooking Spray: Lightly spray the tops of the egg rolls with olive or vegetable oil cooking spray to help them crisp up during baking.
- Bake: Bake the egg rolls in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
Notes
- Ensure the filling is drained well before wrapping to prevent soggy egg rolls.
- Use water sparingly to seal the wrappers so they don’t become soggy.
- You can add cooked protein like shredded chicken or shrimp for variation.
- Serve with soy sauce, sweet chili sauce, or your favorite dipping sauce.
- For extra crispiness, brush the egg rolls with a light layer of oil instead of spray.
