Healthier Vietnamese Egg Rolls (Cha Gio) step by step
- Combine all ingredients in a mixing bowl. Leave out egg, wrapper, oil, lettuce, basil and mint. Mix well..
- Using the wrapper, place it in a diamond shape facing towards you. Place a tablespoon of the mixture onto the bottom corner..
- Tightly roll the wrapper until it's half way. Fold in right and left corners. The tighter the roll, the less oily it will be..
- Continue rolling until about 1/4 of the way there, brush corner with egg and seal.
- Freeze egg rolls over night as they come out crispier when fried after freezing.
- Heat up a pot of oil (canola) and place frozen egg rolls in hot oil to deep fry making a batch of 5-8 at a time. Fry for 10 min until golden brown and floating up to the surface..
- Place cooked eggrolls on a plate lined with paper towels to let excess oil drain..
- Serve immediately with dipping sauce. I prefer the traditional fish/vinegar sauce combo (nuc mam). I use lettuce, mint, basil to wrap each egg roll and dip it in the sauce..
