Eggrolls are always thought to be unhealthy. I tried to improve on the traditional recipe by adding lean chicken and lots and lots of veggies as well as some avocado. These can be stored in the freezer and fried up as a snack anytime.

Steps

1 hour
  1. 1

    Combine all ingredients in a mixing bowl. Leave out egg, wrapper, oil, lettuce, basil and mint. Mix well.

  2. 2

    Using the wrapper, place it in a diamond shape facing towards you. Place a tablespoon of the mixture onto the bottom corner.

  3. 3

    Tightly roll the wrapper until it's half way. Fold in right and left corners. The tighter the roll, the less oily it will be.

  4. 4

    Continue rolling until about 1/4 of the way there, brush corner with egg and seal

  5. 5

    Freeze egg rolls over night as they come out crispier when fried after freezing

  6. 6

    Heat up a pot of oil (canola) and place frozen egg rolls in hot oil to deep fry making a batch of 5-8 at a time. Fry for 10 min until golden brown and floating up to the surface.

  7. 7

    Place cooked eggrolls on a plate lined with paper towels to let excess oil drain.

  8. 8

    Serve immediately with dipping sauce. I prefer the traditional fish/vinegar sauce combo (nuc mam). I use lettuce, mint, basil to wrap each egg roll and dip it in the sauce.

I'm a pharmacist and a foodie. I enjoy trying exotic cuisines and then trying to replicate it at home. I try to cook with healthier ingredients so I can eat more while still maintaining my waistline. I live to eat and exercise so I can eat more!
