Lucas Sin of Junzi Kitchen and Nice Day Chinese Takeout is in the Munchies Test Kitchen making his take on an iconic takeout dish: Chinese-American restaurant-style egg rolls. Lucas pays homage to the mighty egg roll with this step-by-step recipe that includes store-bought egg roll skins and DIY duck sauce and spicy mustard. Lucas demonstrates how to make the egg roll filling with cabbage, carrots, and Chinese celery, plus a mixture of ground pork and shrimp, and explains the importance of double-frying.

This is the best egg roll recipe I’ve found in years. I made it several times before adding comments. In the various attempts, I learned a few things that may be helpful. Chinese celery makes a difference. Grocery store celery is bland in comparison. Regular green cabbage works better than Napa cabbage. Napa is okay, but it tends to get limp. Fish sauce (1-2 tsp.) adds a little extra flavor. If the egg roll skins were frozen, they can be a little fragile. Kitchen towels are fine to remove the moisture but a salad spinner is more efficient and doesn’t add to the laundry pile. Double frying is the way to go but do not crowd the frying pan or deep fat fryer. To reheat, 375°F for about 20 minutes. I use a cooking sheet with a rack which helps keeps them crisp but you can still get good results without it.

Best Egg Roll I ever had was a small mom and pop place in Detroit. The family was from a small village in China. Only the son spoke English. He said the first place the came to was Philly in America and his mom fell in Love with Corned Beef and Steak and Cheese. So she took that and created some egg rolls but with a flare of homemade Chinese ingredients and marinates. They were the most amazing things I have eaten to this day. Sadly the little place isn't in business any more though. How his mom would take and mix our stuff and their stuff and make the most tasty items and everyone would just crave them it was wonderful.

I've been making homemade egg rolls for over 30 years,and when I do,make at least 3 or 4 dozen at a time and my two kids (now grown!) eat them like crazy! I use a cabbage base ,any leftover meat I have,and fresh sprouts ,pea pods,and a large bag of stir fry frozen vegs that are chopped well & fine.A must is soy sauce AND HOT Chinese Mustard ! Wonderful when there's no authentic Chinese food within miles out in the prairie here in W.Tx years ago....My daughter and I even took to making our own Sushi! My goodness I love ALL international wonderful food! I only always do 1 "frying",but only put about 3 at a time in order to be able to turn them so they brown evenly all over..

We ate the egg rolls because it was to much work and too much food to waste but it has been enough to tarnish this jewel of Chinese takeout. These, though, THESE WERE WONDERFUL! Such little extra steps - blanching the vegetables and wringing them out to dry, frying the eggrolls twice - such a difference. No more soggy veggies, no more limp eggrolls, no more tough eggrolls from overcooking. Thank you so much for bringing Lucas Sin onto the channel. Please bring us more of this easy to follow guy.

Now, I’m definitely buying the regular egg rolls that I usually do. I’m not about all that crispiness at all, and yours are more the style that I normally make, nice and big and full of veggies. Thanks for a great tutorial. I so enjoyed it, and I’m off to the grocery store. Thanks again.

Thank you sooo much for removing a little mystery. My Dad used to take us to the outdoor Chinese Market when we were young. He knew some of the merchants there because he used to sell them Dungeoness Crabs he caught. This was back when he was ten years old in 1942. They remembered him when he had his own family. We are white kids but these elderly folks piled treats on us when we went to see them. I loved visiting because there were so many different things to look at, different smells, it was magical to a child. I have always wanted to make what they call Chinese food, but I was never good at it. I hope I can make Egg Rolls after this, but there are many other dishes I want to make. Again thank you...oh yeah there was a Chinese market in Victoria British Columbia. It was where we went.

The hot water denatures the enzymes that produce the hot flavor of the mustard. That's why you must use cold water. Vinegar also interrupts the process of the enzymes so can be used to control the end spiciness.

I am sooooo happy I came across this video! I lived walking distance to Chicago's Chinatown as a kid, I spent A LOT of time there too. The egg rolls Lucas made are the ones I grew up on....and they are the absolute freakin best! My 2 favorite "street foods" while walking and exploring were these egg rolls and the hot, straight from the oven almond cookies from the Chinese bakery. You haven't lived until you have one of those mouth watering and melting cookies still on the hot trays.....beyond fresh. Xie xie Lucas for the video and recipe. I'll be making them soon.

Your recipe is awesome. It's the best recipe I've found for egg rolls. But, it's much much better to steam the cabbage and carrots. I did it your way of boiling the cabbage and carrots and putting it into the ice bath and squeezing out the water, but it was very soggy and wilted. Steaming (10 to 20 minutes, to taste) cooks it thru without making it so soggy and is less trouble.
