Classic Egg Rolls, also known as Jiāndàn juǎn in Chinese, are a popular appetizer in many Asian cuisines. These crispy and delicious rolls are filled with a mixture of vegetables, meat, and seasonings, then deep-fried until golden brown. The filling typically includes ingredients like cabbage, carrots, bean sprouts, mushrooms, and ground pork or chicken. The flavors are enhanced with soy sauce, ginger, garlic, and other spices. The rolls are wrapped in a thin egg-based wrapper and sealed with a cornstarch slurry. Once fried, they become irresistibly crunchy on the outside while remaining juicy and flavorful on the inside. Classic Egg Rolls are often served with a dipping sauce like sweet and sour sauce or soy sauce with chili. They make a great appetizer for parties or a delicious snack any time of the day.
