Filling:
- 1 pound fresh pork (or barbecued pork)
- 1 medium onion (sliced)
- 2 stalks celery, cut diagonally
- 1/2 pound fresh mushrooms, sliced
- 6 water chestnuts (fresh if possible), sliced
- 1/2 pound suey choy (Napa Cabbage), sliced thinly, 1 inch lengthwise
- 2 green onions, diced
- 1 pound fresh bean sprouts
- Pork Seasoning:
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon oyster sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
- A bit (less than 1 teaspoon) cornstarch
Gravy:
- 4 tablespoons water
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons oyster sauce
- Salt, pepper, accent (if desired) to taste
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch mixed with 2 teaspoons cold water*
- 2 tablespoons oil for stir-frying
- 2 to 4 cups oil for deep-frying
Preparation
1. Combine the ingredients found in the filling in one
container and combine the ingredients in the pork seasoning in another, set
aside the mixture for a while. Get the pork and cut it thinly in strips.
2. Get the
pork seasoning mixture and marinate the pork until the mixture becomes absorbed
by the meat and set aside for a while. In the meantime, prepare the gravy by
combining all the ingredients in one container. Stir the gravy mixture until
the desired consistency is achieved.
3. Cut the vegetables diagonally and set aside. Heat the
frying pan or you can opt using a non stick pan for a healthier meal. Pour on a
dab of oil and stir fry the onion, celery and put a dab of salt and sugar to
enhance the flavor, thereafter, fry the pork until golden brown and set aside.
4. Stir fry the vegetables consisting of mushrooms, water
chestnuts, and bean sprouts; add a dab of sugar and salt to enhance the flavor
of the vegetables. Drain the excess water from the cooked vegetables and add
the fried pork in the wok and stir until the flavor of the meat and vegetable
becomes well distributed. Set aside.
5. Get the egg roll wrapper and lay on a clean counter or
plate. Take one tablespoonful of the meat and vegetable and line it in one side
of the egg roll wrapper. Adjust the measurement according depending in the size
of the egg roll wrapper and your desires. Fold and roll it neatly.
6. When you're done wrapping the entire egg roll filling in
the egg roll wrappers you've bought, the next step would be deep frying them.
7. Pour generous amount of cooking oil in the wok and gently
slide down each egg roll, careful not to break the wrapper. Fry until golden
brown. When ready, cut diagonally and arrange. In a bowl, pour on the gravy
mixture.
