SHRIMP EGG ROLLS

SHRIMP EGG ROLLS

Chinese tonight!

I have not researched our new neighborhood for the best Chinese restaurant, so it was left to me to make something to satisfy my carving!

½ cup sliced Mushrooms

½ cup bean sprouts cut in half

½ cup shredded carrots

3/4 pound shrimp cooked and chopped

¼ cup chopped onions

2 cups shredded cabbage

1/2 teaspoon ginger chopped (more if you like)

1/8 teaspoon minced garlic

1 ½ tablespoon soy sauce

2 teaspoons oyster sauce

1 teaspoon salt (optional)

1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar

1 egg beaten

20 wonton wrappers

Vegetable oil to wipe on pan or spray PAM olive oil

If using raw shrimp sauté 3 minutes in 1/2 teaspoon olive oil.

Prepare all vegetable. 

To cut cabbage easily:   Remove thick stem in the middle of the leaf. 

Lay flat on top of each other. Roll and slice very thinly.

   

Mix all ingredients up to the egg in a bowl making sure all are coated in the sauce.

Lay the wonton wrapper so it looks like a diamond in front of you with a point coming at you and one going direct out from you.  Lay across the middle some filling. Fold the point at the bottom up to cover the filling.

 Fold the left and right pointed corners inwards. Brush on beaten egg on the two sides of the point at the top.  Roll up and close.

Bush with a little oil or use a spray like olive oil PAM both the baking dish/pan and the tops. Bake 20 minutes or more according to your preferred crispness.

TIPS:

1.      You can freeze uncooked or cooked rolls to fry or bake later

2.      Can fry in vegetable oil.. but calories.. oh yes so many more!

3.      I saved some of the filling (made 8 rolls) and made a rice dish as follows:

SUPER MAIN DISH OR SIDE!

!/2 cup rice placed in a sauté pan with a drizzle of vegetable oil.  Stir fry it 3 minutes and add the remaining filling. Add ½ teaspoon salt and pepper to taste.  

 Fry another 3 minutes and add 1 ½ cups fish stock or water. Drizzle a little sesame oil and soy sauce. Lower to simmer and cover and cook until the rice is done about 15 minutes. Just before serving add the left over beaten egg and fry 3 or so minutes.
