45 15 60

Ingredients

  • 4-1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 cup pineapple juice
  • 1/2 cup white vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons ketchup
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce
  • 1 can (6 ounces) small shrimp, rinsed and drained or 1 cup cooked small shrimp, peeled and deveined and chopped
  • 1 cup canned bean sprouts, chopped
  • 1 cup shredded cabbage
  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • 1/2 cup grated carrot
  • 1 tablespoon canola oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 12 egg roll wrappers
  • Additional oil for deep-fat frying

Directions

  • For sweet-sour sauce, combine the cornstarch, sugar, pineapple juice, vinegar, ketchup and soy sauce in a saucepan until smooth. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 1-2 minutes or until thickened. Remove from the heat; set aside.
  • In a large skillet, stir-fry the shrimp, bean sprouts, cabbage, onion and carrot in oil until crisp-tender; cool slightly. Stir in pepper and salt. Position egg roll wrappers with a long edge facing you. Spoon 1/4 cup of shrimp mixture on the bottom third of each wrapper. Fold bottom over filling; fold sides over filling toward center. Moisten top edge with water; roll up tightly to seal.
  • In a deep saucepan, electric skillet or deep-fat fryer, heat oil to 375°. Fry egg rolls, a few at a time, for 4-5 minutes or until golden brown, turning often. Drain on paper towels. Serve with sweet-sour sauce. Yield: 1 dozen.

Bland bland bland. There are no spices in the egg rolls at all. If it weren't for the hot mustard and sweet & sour sauce I would have had to have thrown them all out.
