Egg Rolls Recipe • Popular Chinese Finger Food! | Club Foody

 Although I’ve always enjoyed their food, I maybe go to a Chinese restaurant every second year. I prefer going to a Japanese or Thai restaurant instead. The logic behind this is I cook most “North American” Chinese dishes at home like Wonton Soup, Sweet & Sour Chicken Balls, Mongolian Beef, Spare Ribs, Fried Rice, Szechuan Ginger Chicken, Hot and Sour Soup, Chop Suey, Char Siu, Shrimp Egg Foo Young, Moo Shu Pork Tortillas, General Tso’s Chicken, Chow Mein, and many more including this popular one… Egg Rolls!

 
What a lovely appetizer to make for many reasons! First, this dish is very flavorful; second, it’s easy to prepare; third you can always change your ingredients; and forth, this recipe is baked not fried although you can go either way. I also added a quick and tasty dipping sauce for your Egg Rolls.
 
When it comes to the cooking method, I prefer baked in lieu of fried because it’s less messy – using an air fryer is also another great alternative. After you’re done frying, most of the time you have to dispose of the oil which I can’t stand plus all the clean up to do on the stove top. Yes sometimes I have no choice but to fry items for my recipes like my Falafel or the tortillas for my Chicken Tortilla Soup BUT if I can avoid it, you bet I’ll use the oven… even the grill if I can!
 
There are a couple of ingredients that I would like to highlight. In the video, I use Chinese 5 Spice but as much as David loves it in the Egg Rolls, I prefer them without so this is totally optional. I also use nira grass also known as gow choy, ku chai, Chinese leek or garlic chives. It’s such an amazing Asian ingredient. It has a mild garlic taste which gives any dish that little extra flavor. You can find it at most Asian supermarkets but in case you can’t, substitute regular chives.
 
Using premade wrappers, these delicious Egg Rolls couldn’t be simpler to make. The folding method shown in this episode is straightforward and you’ll get the hang of it pretty fast. If you have leftovers after cooking them, simply store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for a couple of days or freeze them for up to a month. I don’t suggest you store them after being wrapped and before cooking because the filling will make the wrappers too damp affecting the baking results.
 
If you’re new to making homemade Egg Rolls, this is a great recipe to try! The filling is amazing and gives these finger foods such a lovely taste plus the sauce wraps everything up beautifully!
Bon Appétit!
