I was surprised by these little gems. Jim loves them and requests them all the time. It's one of those out-of-the-ordinary foods with a familiar taste. Lower in fat due to baking, and not frying!

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 lb lean ground beef
1 cup green onion, chopped
1 (1 1/4 ounce) packet taco seasoning
1 cup egg substitute (egg beaters)
8 egg roll wraps
4 tablespoons low-fat taco cheese

Steps:

  • Brown the ground beef and onions, and add the taco seasoning.
  • Take one egg roll wrapper and add 1/8 of the beef mixture in a line, diagonally from one corner to the other to make rolling the egg roll easier. Top with a 1/2 tbsp of cheese. Roll up like an egg roll. (See egg roll packaging for detailed directions on how to roll your egg rolls).
  • Repeat with the rest of the egg roll wrappers.
  • Pour egg substitute into shallow bowl and dip all of the egg rolls, coating evenly. Place on cookie sheet that's been sprayed with nonstick cooking spray (very important!).
  • Bake at 375°F for 20 minutes or until light brown and crispy.
  • Better than deep fried and just as crispy!
  • You can add many different fillings: chicken or cabbage and green onions for Chinese egg rolls, etc.
  • Note: I find the egg roll wrappers in the produce section, where they have the dressings and foods like tofu and the like.

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

3.5 oz glass noodle, 1 package
hot water, for soaking
2 cups shredded cabbage
1 cup shredded carrot
½ cup scallions, chopped
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon sesame oil
12 wheat egg roll wrappers
1 tablespoon water, for sealing
vegetable oil, for frying

Steps:

  • Place the glass noodles in a large bowl and add enough hot water to cover. Let sit for 10 minutes, until softened. Drain the noodles and chop into ½-inch (1-cm) pieces.
  • In a large bowl, mix together the chopped glass noodles, cabbage, carrots, scallions, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, pepper, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Toss until well combined.
  • Place a spring roll wrapper on a clean work surface and add 3 tablespoons of filling to the center. Fold the bottom of the wrapper over the filling, then fold in the sides and roll. Lightly wet the exposed with your fingertip and continue rolling to seal the egg roll. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
  • Fill a deep skillet with ½ inch (1 cm) of vegetable oil and heat over medium-high heat until the oil reaches 325˚F(160˚C). Fry the egg rolls in batches of 1-2 at a time for 2½- 3 minutes on each side, until crispy and golden brown. Remove from oil and drain on a wire rack or plate lined with paper towels to absorb any extra oil.
  • Enjoy!

Roll up like a closed burrito. There are detailed directions on how to roll these on the back of the package of egg rolls.
