Baked Ground Beef Eggrolls
This recipe is simple and doesn't take much longer than making burritos. They freeze well.
Equipment
- 1 strainer
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 5 green onions diced
- 1 cup carrot shredded
- 1 can diced water chesnuts
- 4 cups shredded cabbage
- 2-3 tbsp hot oil, or your favorite cooking oil
- 1 package eggroll wrappers
- cooking spray
- 3 tbsp rice wine vinegar
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tsp Chili Paste
- 2 cloves minced garlic (or one tbsp from a jar of minced garlic)
- 2 tbsp Chinese 5 spice blend
- 2 tbsp grated ginger
Instructions
- Brown meat to almost crispy. A cast iron skillet works well for this, but alas I am lazy and like to do everything in as few dishes and pans as possible, so I do this whole recipe in an electric skillet,
- Drain beef in a colander or strainer. I used to use a colander and finally broke down and bought a set of strainers. It was a game-changer.
- Rinse any excess fat from the skillet. Heat oil in skillet.
- Add all vegetables and garlic to skillet.
- Stir-fry the vegetables on med-high until crisp-tender.
- Add soy sauce, vinegar, ginger, and Chinese 5 spice, Allow most of the liquid to cook off. Add beef back to skillet and mix it in. Put the mixture in a colander or a strainer placed on top a bowl to drain/cool.
Making the Eggrolls
- Preheaat oven to 425.
- Clear a place on the counter. Have a baking sheet that has been sprayed with cooking spray and a bowl of water handy.
- Make sure the filling is cool enough to handle. Place the eggroll wrapper in front of you with one of the corners towards you.
- Place two-three Tbs of the beef mixture in the center of the wrapper.
- Dip a finger in the water and moisten all four edges of the wrapper.
- Put the diaper on the baby. pull the corner closest to you up to the middle.
- Then fold the right and left corners towards the middle.
- Fold the top corner down over the others.
- Place seam side down on the baking sheet and repeat.
- Lightly spray the eggrolls with cooking spray before placing in oven.
- Bake for 20-22 minutes until golden brown. Serve immendiately with Yum-Yum sauce, soy sauce or siraccha.
- Cool to room temp and place in freezer bags for a quick lunch later. I suggest reheating in an airfryer at 390 for 10 minutes.
