Savory Chicken Egg Rolls With Sweet And Sour Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• To make sweet and sour sauce, in 1-quart saucepan, mix sugar, ketchup, 2/3 cup water, 1 tablespoon soy sauce and the salt. Cook 5 minutes. Stir in vinegar.
• In small bowl, mix cornstarch and 1/3 cup cold water. Add to sauce; cook until thickened.
• To make egg rolls, in 12-inch skillet, cook ground beef, onion and green onions until beef is thoroughly cooked. Drain off excess fat.
• Stir in coleslaw mix. Add soy sauce by pouring around top of mixture about 2 times. Taste and check saltiness; you can always add more. Cook until thoroughly heated.
• While cabbage mixture is cooking, place egg roll skins on large work surface. Spoon 1 serving spoon-size of beef mixture on center of each skin. For each egg roll, bring up bottom corner; fold in side corners and roll up. Bring down top corner; wet with small amount of water to stick.
• In small skillet, heat oil. When oil is hot, fry egg rolls until crispy. Shake off excess oil.

Steps:

• Preheat the fryer.
• In a wok, heat the oil. When the oil is hot, add the pork. Season with salt and pepper. Stir fry for 3 minutes. Add the onions and garlic, continue to cook for 2 minutes. Add the bok choy and shrimp. Season with salt and pepper. Stir-fry for 1 minute. Season with the sesame oil, soy sauce, sake and sugar. Add the sprouts and green onions and mix thoroughly. Remove from the heat and cool completely.
• To assemble, spoon about 1/4 cup of the filling in a rectangular shape on the center of each wrapper. Fold in the ends toward the center about 1/4-inch. Then, beginning at the bottom, roll up the wrapper, like a jelly roll, using a little of the egg wash to seal the end tightly. Repeat until all of the egg rolls are done.
• Fry the egg rolls in batches until golden brown, stirring occasionally for overall browning, about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the oil and drain on paper towels. Season the egg rolls with Essence. Serve warm with the Sweet and Sour Sauce.
• Combine all ingredients thoroughly.

• Heat the oil in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. When hot, add the onions and cook, stirring, until softened, about 2 minutes. Add the ginger and cook, stirring constantly, for 30 seconds. Stir in the pineapple, vinegar, ketchup, chili garlic sauce, and the sugar. Bring the sauce to a simmer and cook, stirring, for 3 minutes. In a small bowl, whisk together the chicken broth and cornstarch until smooth. Add to the sauce mixture and bring to a boil. Cook for 1 minute, remove from the heat, and cool slightly.
• Pour the sauce into a small food processor or blender and pulse several times, if desired. Alternatively, leave the dipping sauce chunky. Serve warm.
