Ingredients
- 1 pkg egg roll wrappers
- 1 cup sliced mushrooms
- 1 green onion
- 2 tbsp and 3 cups peanut oil
- 1 tsp chopped garlic
- 1 pkg of coleslaw mix
- 1/3 cup chopped peanuts
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- 1/4 tsp sugar
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
Directions
In a medium size wok on high, heat 2 tablespoons of peanut oil. Add garlic and cook for a minute and then add your coleslaw mixture, chopped mushrooms, green onion, peanuts, pepper, sugar and soy sauce and allow to stir fry for a few minutes. Remove wok from heat and begin to fill your egg rolls by taking a single wrapper and placing it in the shape of a diamond. Place about 3 tablespoons of filling in the middle of the wrapper and fold the bottom point over the filling. Slightly dampen your fingers with water and fold the two points. Then dampen the far end of the wrapper and roll it up. Lightly press to seal. After rolling all your egg rolls, heat 3 cups of oil and slowly submerge each roll into the oil for three minutes. Remove the rolls with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel. -recipe from Lila Voo at BellaOnline.com-
