Easy Egg Rolls

1 package egg roll wrappers

1 bag Coleslaw mix

1 tsp soy sauce

½ tsp ginger

½ tsp salt

Dash of pepper

1 tsp sugar

1 Tbsp sesame oil

Toss coleslaw mixture and all other ingredients minus the egg roll wrappers in a bowl. Take one wrapper place in a diamond shape in front of you. Spoon small amount of coleslaw and seasoning mixture on to the bottom corner of wrapper, roll half way, fold in the sides and finish rolling. Brush water on the end flap to hold it closed. Continue until all the rolls are finished. Heat ¼ inch of oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Place 5-6 rolls into the frying pan. Rolls the egg rolls on each side to fry evenly. It should take between 5-7 minutes to do each batch. Variations: add cooked chicken, sliced mushrooms or other veggies.

    I’m sooooooo excited to try this! I recently found out I’m allergic to sesame (seeds and oil). While this comes in handy when the kids are begging for McD’s (think about the words to the big mac song….) it also precludes me from being able to eat at 99% of all Aisan restaurants! I LOVE chinese food, so I’m always looking for good homemade recipes where I can control the use of the sesame oil. Thanks for sharing! ;-)
