Egg Rolls with Apricot & Honey Dipping Sauce

egg rolls with apricot dipping sauce

What? Chinese food isn’t for Rosh Hashana (Jewish New Year)!! Or is it?

Ingredients

Scale

Egg Rolls

  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 cubes frozen garlic
  • 1 cube frozen ginger
  • 1 bag cole slaw mix
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 tbsp sugar
  • 1/2 tbsp corn starch
  • 1/2 tbsp chicken soup mix
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 package wonton wrappers

Dipping Sauce 

  • 2 tbsp apricot jelly (I used sugar free) 
  • 1 tbsp honey 
  • 1/2 tsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp white vinegar
  • 1 tsp powdered ginger
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp mustard powder 

Instructions

  1. Over medium flame heat the oil in a deep wide bottom pan, then add the frozen garlic and ginger and stir until melted and fragrant about 30 sec to 1 min.
  2. Add the cabbage and sauté until it starts to wilt about 2 mins.
  3. Once the cabbage looks wilted add the rest of the filling ingredients to pan and cook until all liquid has thickened 4-5 mins.
  4. Remove the cabbage from the heat and let cool completely.
  5. Take a wonton wrapper and add about 1-2 tsp to the center fold in 3 of the sides and roll the rest of the way to form a mini egg-roll. 
  6. Spray the top of the egg-rolls with cooking spray (for a golden crispy top!) and bake at 400 for 20-25 mins until golden and edges are crispy. 
  7. For the sauce – combine all ingredients. Will taste good as is but I recommend microwaving the mixture on high for one minute so the spices are not as raw and the mixture will liquify a little more. 

Notes

This recipe is a little more involved but I promise its well worth the effort! Get your kids in the kitchen and have them help you roll the egg-rolls. Don’t worry if they don’t look perfect, they will still taste delicious!
