Awesome Egg Rolls

These were great, and very easy. I used shrimp and added a little onion and ginger. You were correct about the need for almost "over seasoning". I thought I had ruined the dish but cooked them anyway and they were great. Thanks!

Easy and yummy. Didn't have ground beef, so used a little cut up cooked pork, but concluded they would have been just as good without. Did end up putting some sesame oil, soy sauce and ground ginger in the mix for more flavor. Who would have thought that making your own egg rolls could be so easy.

Can I come over to your house?? Man, everything you've submitted so far is STELLAR!!! Where did you learn to cook? These egg rolls have great color, texture, taste, and they are easy (albeit a bit messy) to make! You need lots of counter space for this one, but it's worth it! Try it with teryaki wings!!!

The Egg Rolls, or as my family calls them..Spring Rolls are made in very much the same way. But...I place the cabbage in a pot of salted, boiling water and let simmer for about 5 minutes. Drain and let cool. Once cool, squeeze as much water out of the cabbage as you can with your hands. This softens the cabbage and makes the egg rolls much easier to eat. I also add thinly sliced shittaki mushrooms to the ground beef mixture, along with approximately 1 tsp. salt. Also I've found using white pepper rather than black gives more of a "Chinese flavor". For the dipping sauce, try adding Chinese Hot Mustard to soy sauce. Hmmmmm good!!!

I have always felt intimidated about making egg rolls because I thought it would be difficult. I was WRONG. These were easy and tasted pretty good. Of couse nothing is a substitute for authentice Chinese egg rolls, but these at home goodies stack up pretty well. The only changes that I made were adding ground ginger powder along with the salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Also, for health reasons, I opted to bake these at 425 degrees for 15ish minutes after I sprayed them with Pam. My preference would NOT be Grey Poupon Dijon. It was gross. I did like soy sauce and honey mustard as dipping sauces.

I'm currently in egg roll heaven. We wanted chinese night without having to go out, so I scoured Zaar for some recipes. The perfect egg roll has always eluded me, I almost gave up and bought some frozen ones, and I found this. I was so impressed with these! The trick to overseasoning was right...I used some jarred minced garlic AND powder on the ground beef, then dumped it over a bag of coleslaw mix (carrots, red and white cabbage). I microwaved it for 5 minutes to soften it all, and let cool for about 20 minutes as I was preparing other things. I thought I had used plenty of seasoning, then tasted and added even more, along with the tiniest pinch of chinese 5 spice, since we like the flavor. My 5 year old helped me with the egg wash, and we fried in peanut oil. Fantastic, and the leftovers froze well, and reheated in te oven beautifully. And it was EASY! Thanks so much for this recipe!

My son, who does not like restaurant egg rolls, loved these! I used chicken thighs instead of ground beef and 'overspiced' the mixture as suggested. Then I mixed all the ingredients together while the chicken was still hot and let it sit. This sufficiently softened the cabbage and carrots. Easy and delicious! Thanks for posting!

These are soooo good. They're better than even the best restaraunt eggrolls I've ever had. I think it's because they're so fresh. I've done these with gd. beef and pork sausage. We've played with the recipe and added cilantro, fresh ginger, cucumber, etc. but I still love the basic cabbage/carrot mixture best. Thanks Bonnie for a fantastic recipe!

Thank you. I'm a Chicago transplant, and I miss the food so much. There was a Chinatown hole in the wall named Guey Yee that I grew up on. Have never found an egg roll to compare, but this put me on the right track. Added 2T peanut butter to the filling mixture, and whoop, there it is!

These were GREAT! I added some chopped celery and chopped onion and added some sesame seed oil to give more flavor. I also used about 1 Tbs. of minced garlic along with the garlic powder when browning the ground beef. We enjoyed these dipped in My Secret Shrimp Sauce Recipe Thanks for sharing the recipe! :)

These were very easy to make and very flavorful but I wish it had a little something else to them just not sure what. My family ate them just fine even my 5 year old. I dipped mine in honey mustard which was good. I'm sure I'll make them again at some point! Thanks for sharing

I think this could use a lot more spices....I even added ginger and Chinese 5 Spice, and I still didn't get the egg-roll I was hoping for. My huband loved it though! I also bought sweet and sour dipping sauce, and szchesuan sauce to have some more variety.

I came across this recipe recently and gave them a try tonight and found them wonderful, Only change I made was use a pound of ground pork since that is what I had on hand and while meat was browning I added a few dashes of Worchestershire sauce.along with some finely chopped green onion. Also I found along with my famikly that LACHOY Sweet & Sour sauce as the dipping sauce, we found it was much better than Dijon mustard. :)

These were very easy and very tasty. I went with pork instead of beef but otherwise followed the recipe. I do wish there were amounts listed on the spices since I'm so bad at adjusting according to my own taste. Next time, I will add even more seasoning. Still, they were very good! This made 19 regular size egg rolls for me.
