Method:
Prepare the Filling:
- In a large skillet, heat the sesame oil over medium heat.
- Add the ground pork or chicken and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks.
- Once the meat is cooked, add the minced garlic and ginger, cooking until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
- Stir in the shredded cabbage and carrots, cooking until they begin to soften, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the chopped green onions, soy sauce, oyster sauce, rice vinegar, and black pepper. Stir to combine.
- Dissolve the cornstarch in a tablespoon of water and add to the skillet. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, until the mixture thickens slightly.
- Remove from heat and let the filling cool slightly.
Assemble the Egg Rolls:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly coat with cooking spray.
- Place an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with one corner pointing towards you (like a diamond shape).
- Spoon about 2-3 tablespoons of the filling onto the center of the wrapper.
- Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides, and roll up tightly to enclose the filling. Brush the edges with a bit of water to seal.
- Place the assembled egg rolls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
- Brush the tops of the egg rolls with vegetable oil to help them crisp up in the oven.
Bake the Egg Rolls:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, turning them halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
Serve:
- Serve the baked egg rolls hot, with your choice of dipping sauces like sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, or hot mustard.
Tips for Perfect Sheet Pan Baked Egg Rolls:
- Don’t Overfill: Be careful not to overfill the egg roll wrappers, as this can cause them to burst open during baking.
- Seal Well: Make sure to seal the edges of the egg rolls well with water to prevent them from opening up while baking.
- Turn for Even Browning: Turning the egg rolls halfway through baking ensures they brown evenly on all sides.
Variations:
- Vegetarian: For a vegetarian version, replace the meat with tofu or additional vegetables like mushrooms, bell peppers, and zucchini.
- Spicy: Add a teaspoon of sriracha or chili garlic sauce to the filling for a spicy kick.
- Seafood: Substitute the pork or chicken with cooked shrimp or crabmeat for a seafood twist.
ENJOY IT 💛
