A staple street food, Egg Roll is recognisable for its light taste and rich combination of textures. It is a tasty combination of a soft, crumbly flatbread wrapped around an egg filling with spiced tastes, often topped with the freshness of green chutney or other finishing sauces. Originally a Kolkata favourite for snack time when mealtime is not required on the go, it has gained infamy far and wide throughout the Indian subcontinent. The rolled outer layer of paratha or a thin roti is crispy and chewy in texture, contrasting the softness of the egg inside. Eggs, under basic spices like salt, pepper, and turmeric, are cooked rich and savoury. Some versions include finely chopped onions, green chillies, and fresh herbs like cilantro, adding delicious bursts of flavour with a bit of heat in the mix. What makes an Egg Roll more irresistible is its versatility. It can be moulded with several fillings, such as sliced vegetables and pickled onions or even a drizzle of spicy sauces and tangy ketchup. This adds dynamic contrast to the smoothness of the eggs by presenting a different flavour in each bite. A warm, egg-filled paratha with fresh toppings makes a great harmony of taste and texture. Whether it is a quick snack, a light meal, or even breakfast, an Egg Roll bursts of flavours in a convenient package, it is perfect for street food: easy to carry, flavoured, and satisfying. The Egg Roll is a time-old favourite for those looking for delicious and filling fun on the go.
Ingredients required for Egg Roll
- 1/2 cup cooked protien
- 1/4 cup green onions
- 1 cup cabbage
- 1/2 cup carrot
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 egg
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- Salt
- Pepper
- Soy sauce
Cooking steps for Egg Roll
- 1Mix all of the shredded cabbage 1 cup, shredded carrots 1/2 cup, cooked protein 1/2 cup (diced pork, chicken, shrimp, tofu), green onions 1/4 cup chopped, and two cloves minced garlic together in a large bowl. That colourful mix forms the base for your filling for the recipe of egg roll. The combination of fresh vegetables and protein presents this excellent filling with flavour and texture, making any egg roll recipe scrumptious.
- 2Mix all ingredients very well so the flavours are evenly spread out in the filling.
- 3Add soy sauce and sesame oil to the mixture of vegetables and protein.
- 4Season with salt and pepper according to your preference.
- 5Mix all ingredients very well so they combine evenly. The soy sauce and sesame oil will give flavour to the filling, so it'll be savoury to eat.
- 6Add about one tablespoon of oil to a large skillet and put it on the stove on medium heat.
- 7Stir in your filling mixture and cook over medium heat, approximately 5-7 minutes or until your vegetables are a bit tender; this will meld all your flavours together.
- 8Turn off the heat and let cool for a few minutes while you get your wrappers ready.
- 9Lay out a clean, flat surface for assembling the egg rolls.
- 10Readily have your egg roll wrappers at hand and next to it a small bowl of water to seal the edges, as an organised space will make this assembly much more manageable.
- 11Put an egg roll wrapper on your counter, like a diamond, with one corner towards you.
- 12Put in about two tablespoons of the filling in the centre of the wrapper. Do not overfill, as it will make it difficult to roll.
- 13Fold over the comer nearest you, enclosing the filling, and tuck it in so it is around the filling. Then, fold in the sides. You should see a sealed pocket.
- 14Roll the wrapper away from you and roll it up as tight as you can.
- 15Insert your finger into the beaten egg and dab little bits of the egg on the edge of the wrapper to seal it. This way, nothing will leak out when the wontons are deep-frying.
- 16Roll the remaining wrappers and fill and assemble all of them.
- 17Place rolled egg rolls on a parchment-lined plate or baking sheet so they don't stick around.
- 18Fill a large frying pan with oil about 2-3 inches deep.
- 19Heat over medium-high.
- 20Test the oil by adding a small piece of wrapper-should sizzle.
- 21Fry the egg rolls in batches till golden; turn with tongs for even cooking, about 3-5 minutes.
- 22Drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
- 23Serve with dipping sauces such as sweet and sour, soy sauce, or spicy mustard.
- 24Add veggies like bean sprouts or bell peppers to your stuffing and enjoy this recipe of egg roll.
