Recipe for Pulled Pork Egg Rolls
Ingredients:
- 2 cups of TBS slow-roasted pulled pork (any flavor)
- 1 cup coleslaw mix (or shredded cabbage and carrots)
- 2 tablespoons BBQ sauce (your favorite kind)
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 10-12 egg roll wrappers
- Vegetable oil for frying
- Optional: Ranch, sweet chili sauce, or extra BBQ sauce for dipping
Directions:
1. Prep the Filling
In a large bowl, combine the pulled pork, coleslaw mix, BBQ sauce, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Toss the ingredients together until everything is well coated.
2. Assemble the Egg Rolls
Lay an egg roll wrapper on a flat surface, with one corner pointing toward you (like a diamond shape). Place 2 tablespoons of the pulled pork mixture in the center of the wrapper. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, tuck in the sides, and roll it up tightly. Use a little water on the top corner to seal the wrapper. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
3. Fry to Perfection
Heat 1-2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pot over medium heat. Once the oil is hot (around 350°F), carefully add the egg rolls, frying a few at a time. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.
4. Serve and Enjoy
Serve your pulled pork egg rolls with a dipping sauce of your choice, like ranch, sweet chili sauce, or extra BBQ sauce.
Tips & Variations
- Make it ahead: Assemble the egg rolls in advance and freeze them uncooked. Fry them directly from the freezer when you’re ready to serve – no thawing necessary!
- Get creative: Add cheese to the filling for a gooey surprise, or experiment with different barbecue sauces, like a tangy mustard-based sauce, for a unique twist.
- Lighter options: If you prefer a lighter version, air fry the egg rolls at 375°F for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crispy. You can also bake them at 400°F for 12-15 minutes or until crispy.
