Filling Ingredients

Assembly and Cooking Ingredients

  • 2 cups Vegetable Oil Maintain oil temperature at 350°F (175°C).
  • 1 cup Water Used for sealing the egg rolls.

Equipment

  • deep skillet or pot
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Thermometer
  • Paper towels

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the crawfish or shrimp, diced andouille sausage, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped red bell pepper, diced red onion, cooked rice, Cajun seasoning, and fresh parsley. Mix well, tasting and adjusting the seasoning to suit your palate.
  2. Take an egg roll wrapper and lay it flat on a clean surface. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of filling onto the bottom third of the wrapper. Fold the bottom over the filling, tuck in the sides, and roll tightly, sealing the edge with a little water.
  3. In a deep skillet or pot, pour vegetable oil and heat to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to ensure the oil reaches the right temperature for frying.
  4. Carefully place the egg rolls seam-side down in the hot oil. Fry in small batches for 2-3 minutes on each side, until they are golden brown and crispy.
  5. Once fried, remove the egg rolls and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Let them cool slightly before serving.
