Ingredients (makes about 20 eggrolls):
1 package Eggroll wrappers (about 20 wraps)
2 cups Canned bamboo shoots, julienned (about two of the short cans)
2 cups Mung bean sprouts
1 bunch Green onion
2 TBS Garlic, minched
2 Eggs
2 1/2 tsp Soy sauce
2 TBS Vegetable oil
1 TBS Flour
A little water
Oil for deep frying
1. Prepare vegetables
Drain and julienne the bamboo shoots if they don't come julienned in the can. Rinse the bamboo shoots in a strainer.
Chop the green part of the green onion into 1/2 in. to 1 in. pieces, and chop the thicker white parts finely.
2. Saute
Heat 2 TBS of oil in a skillet or wok on low heat. Add 2 TBS of garlic and saute for 30 seconds.
Add vegetables and cook, stirring, until tender, 2-5 minutes.
Add eggs and cook, stirring until egg is cooked and grainy.
Add soy sauce and stir until evenly incorporated. Turn off heat and let cool to room temperature.
While the filling mixture cools, set up your eggroll wrapping station and frying station. I wrap the eggrolls on a cutting board and then move the wrapped rolls to a piece of tin foil or wax paper. Get your oil ready and lay out a dish with paper towels to absorb the oil (I use a cookie sheet). In a small bowl mix your flour with 2 TBS of water to make a paste.
4. Wrap
There are two ways to wrap it, this is the most common way.
Lay out one sheet of eggroll wrap and mound a small amount of cooled filling a little lower than the center. Apply the flour-paste to the top corner-edges.
5. Fry
Heat about 2 inches of oil to 360-370 degrees. The outside with start to blister and turn white right away. Try to turn the eggrolls as soon as you put it in the oil so that the sudden heat doesn't cause an air bubble to form inside. If an air bubble forms it gets harder to turn and fry the other side later on.
Serve with soy sauce or sweet and sour dipping sauce.
