Ingredients
1 cup cooked corned beef, shredded or chopped
1/2 cup shredded carrots
1/2 cup Swiss cheese, shredded
1 cup green cabbage, finely shredded
1/2 cup shredded carrots
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
8 egg roll wrappers
1 egg, beaten (for sealing)
Vegetable oil (for frying)
For the Dipping Sauce:
1/2 cup Thousand Island dressing
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon horseradish (optional, for extra kick)
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine corned beef, cabbage, carrots, Swiss cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt. Mix well.
- Assemble the Egg Rolls: Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with a corner pointing toward you. Place about 2 tablespoons of filling in the center.
- Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides and roll tightly. Brush the top corner with beaten egg to seal. Repeat with remaining wrappers.
- Fry the Egg Rolls: Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat (350°F/175°C). Fry the egg rolls in batches, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy (about 3-4 minutes per batch). Drain on paper towels.
- Make the Dipping Sauce: In a small bowl, mix Thousand Island dressing, Dijon mustard, and horseradish.
- Serve: Enjoy the egg rolls hot with the dipping sauce!
