Angie'S Eggrolls
Crispy, savory eggrolls filled with seasoned beef, bean sprouts, water chestnuts, and onions, perfect as an appetizer or snack with a tangy plum sauce.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Brown the ground beef in a skillet and drain excess fat.
- Add bean sprouts, chopped water chestnuts, and chopped onion to the skillet; stir-fry until vegetables are tender.
- Scramble the eggs in a separate bowl and pour into the meat and vegetable mixture, cooking until set.
- Mix everything together and cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Spoon the mixture into eggroll wrappers.
- Roll the wrappers tightly around the filling and wet the edges with your fingers to seal.
- Deep fry the eggrolls until golden brown and crispy.
- Serve hot with Dynasty Plum Sauce.
Tips & Substitutions
For added crunch, try using fresh shredded cabbage along with the bean sprouts. If you want a vegetarian option, substitute ground beef with crumbled tofu or tempeh. Ensure your oil is hot enough for frying to achieve a golden, crispy exterior. If you don't have eggroll wrappers, rice paper can be a great alternative for a different texture.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these delicious eggrolls hot with a side of Dynasty Plum Sauce for dipping. They pair wonderfully with a fresh salad or steamed vegetables for a balanced meal. For a complete dinner, consider complementing with dishes like Quick Chinese Pepper Steak or Szechwan Beef Stir-Fry.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover eggrolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 10-15 minutes to restore their crispiness, rather than using the microwave which can make them soggy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I bake these eggrolls instead of frying them?
Yes, you can bake the eggrolls for a healthier alternative. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and place the eggrolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush them lightly with oil and bake for 20-25 minutes, turning halfway through until they are golden brown.
What can I use as a dipping sauce besides plum sauce?
In addition to Dynasty Plum Sauce, these eggrolls are delicious with sweet and sour sauce, soy sauce, or even a spicy chili garlic sauce for a kick. You can also create a simple dipping sauce by mixing soy sauce with a bit of rice vinegar and sesame oil.
Can I freeze the eggrolls before frying?
Absolutely! To freeze, prepare the eggrolls and place them in a single layer on a baking sheet. Once frozen, transfer them to a freezer bag. They can be stored for up to 3 months. Fry them directly from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time.
