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.
