Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger (grated (or paste))
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon Chinese five spice powder
  • 1½ cups shredded coleslaw mix
  • ¾ cup shredded carrots
  • 2 green onions (thinly sliced)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • vegetable oil (for frying)
  • 20 egg roll wrappers
  • 1 large egg (beaten)

Directions

  1. 1

    In a large skillet or wok set over medium heat, add the ground chicken, garlic, and ginger. Season with salt, pepper, and five spice powder and cook, stirring, until the chicken is fully cooked and no longer pink.

  2. 2

    Add in the shredded coleslaw mix, carrots, green onions, and sesame oil. Stir to combine and cook for 4-5 minutes until the water has evaporated and the mixture is warmed through and softened. Remove the skillet from the heat and allow it to cool slightly.

  3. 3

    In a large, deep skillet or Dutch oven, add 2-3 inches of oil. Heat oil over medium-low heat until it reaches 375°F. You can also preheat a deep fryer if you prefer.

  4. 4

    While the oil is heating, make the eggrolls. Lay one egg roll wrapper on a flat surface so it looks like a diamond, with one corner facing you. Place ¼ cup of the chicken mixture in the center. Fold the bottom corner up and over the filling. Brush the remaining inside edges with the beaten egg.

  5. 5

    Fold the two side corners over the center like wrapping a present, then continue to roll tightly until it’s sealed and filling is enclosed. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.

  6. 6

    Fry the egg rolls in batches of 3-4 in the hot oil for 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown. Allow the oil to return to 375°F between batches. Use tongs to transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain before serving with your favorite dipping sauces.
