Winter Egg Rolls

Yields1 Serving
 5 cloves garlic, minced
  1 leek, sliced thin (or 1/2 and onion)
  2 T. sesame oil
  1/2 head of cabbage, shredded red or green (we use a food processor)
  1 large package mushrooms, shredded
  ½ bag brussel sprouts, shredded
  1 beauty heart radish
  2 carrots, shredded
  1 celeriac, shredded
  2 tblsp olive oil
  optional raw shrimp or pork, chopped into small bite-sized pieces
  1/8 c. soy sauce
  1 tblsp sugar
  1 tsp salt
  1 tblsp minced ginger
  1tsp cajun seasoning or cayenne
  Dash of cumin
  black pepper
  1 package egg roll wrappers
  canola or peanut oil for frying
  sweet and sour sauce, or hoisin sauce for dipping
1

Saute garlic and leeks (or onion) in sesame oil in a large pot. Add all the shredded veggies to the pot with the olive oil. Stir frequently, and keep covered while not stirring.

2

Add the spices and the optional meat. Continue cooking until the meat (if any) is just cooked through. The veggies should still be slightly firm. Cooking takes about 25 minutes.

3

Take the pot off the heat, and roll the filling into the egg roll wrappers. 1/4 cup of filling can fit into each wrapper. Sealing the edges of the wrappers with water helps keep the seams from falling apart.

4

To cook the eggrolls, heat the canola or peanut oil in a pot over a medium-high heat. It is important to have the oil hot enough so that the egg rolls cook in about 4 to 5 minutes or else they will be oil-logged. Fry the egg rolls in the oil until lightly browned. Take them out and drain them on paper towels or grocery shopping bags.

5

Dip them and eat them!

6

To reheat frozen eggrolls warm them in a oven at 350 F. until crispy
