How to Make Homemade Egg Rolls
How to Cook the Meat
Heat a medium skillet over high heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Once the oil is hot, add the ground beef to the skillet and cook it until it starts to brown.
Once the meat is browned, reduce the heat to medium and season it with salt, pepper, Mrs Dash, and Vegeta.
Cook the seasoned meat for 5 minutes, stirring it every minute to guarantee even cooking. Once the meat is cooked, remove it from the skillet and set it aside to cool.
How to Cook the Pasta
In a small saucepan, bring half a pot of water to a boil.
While waiting for the water to boil, break the pasta into 1-inch length pieces.
Once the water is boiling, add the pasta and 1 teaspoon of salt.
Cook the pasta for 10 minutes, stirring it every 1-2 minutes to prevent sticking. After the pasta is cooked, drain it, rinse it with cold water, and set it aside to cool.
How to Prep the Veggies
Now, prepare the vegetables by washing and shredding the cabbage head.
Next, prepare to heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the shredded cabbage to the skillet and fry it for 15 minutes, stirring it every minute to prevent burning.
Remove the fried cabbage from the skillet and set it aside to cool.
Now, peel and shred the carrots. Then add them to a medium skillet with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Fry the carrots for 5-7 minutes, stirring them every 1-2 minutes.
Once all the ingredients are cooled, add them to a large bowl and mix them together.
How to Assemble Homemade Egg Rolls
To assemble the egg rolls, place an egg roll wrapper on a small cutting board and spoon 3 tablespoons of the mixture onto it. Fold and roll the wrapper into an egg roll shape.
Now, heat a medium skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Keep in mind that you should fry the egg rolls for 3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown.
Let them cool for a few minutes on a wire rack before serving.
