Description
Corned Beef & Cabbage Egg Rolls are a delicious Irish-inspired appetizer that combines the classic flavors of corned beef and cabbage in a crispy, bite-sized package. Tender shredded corned beef, sautéed cabbage, and melted cheese are wrapped up in egg roll wrappers and fried to golden-brown perfection. Perfect for St. Patrick’s Day parties or as a tasty snack any time of year.
Ingredients
– 1 pound corned beef, shredded
– 2 cups shredded cabbage
– 1 small onion, diced
– 1 cup shredded cheddar or Swiss cheese
– 12 egg roll wrappers
– 2 tablespoons vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
1. In a large skillet, sauté the diced onion in a little oil over medium heat until translucent, about 5 minutes.
2. Add the shredded cabbage and corned beef to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender and the corned beef is heated through.
3. Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the shredded cheese until well combined.
4. Place an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface in a diamond shape. Spoon about 2-3 tablespoons of the corned beef and cabbage mixture onto the lower third of the wrapper.
5. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides and tightly roll up the wrapper.
6. Heat 1-2 inches of vegetable oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven to 350°F. Carefully add the egg rolls and fry for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown.
7. Remove the fried egg rolls from the oil and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
8. Serve the Corned Beef & Cabbage Egg Rolls warm, with your favorite dipping sauce on the side.
Notes
– For extra flavor, add a teaspoon of Dijon mustard or a dash of Worcestershire sauce to the filling.
– Bake the egg rolls instead of frying for a healthier option. Brush the wrappers with oil and bake at 400°F for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway.
– These egg rolls can be made in advance and frozen. Reheat in a 400°F oven for 10-12 minutes until crispy.
