Mini Egg Rolls
Crispy mini egg rolls filled with savory sausage, cabbage, and carrots, perfect as an appetizer or party snack for those who enjoy flavorful, bite-sized treats.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Brown the sausage in a skillet.
- Sauté all ingredients (sausage, cabbage, carrots, green onions, pepper, salt, Accent) together until cooked.
- Place 1 teaspoon of the mixture onto each won ton wrapper and roll to seal.
- Deep fry the egg rolls until they are golden brown.
- Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
Tips & Substitutions
For a twist, try substituting the Owens sausage with ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option. You can also add minced garlic or ginger to the sauté for extra flavor. If you can't find won ton wrappers, egg roll wrappers can work in a pinch, though they will yield larger rolls. Be sure to seal the edges tightly to prevent filling from leaking during frying.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these mini egg rolls hot alongside a variety of dipping sauces such as soy sauce, sweet and sour sauce, or a spicy chili sauce. They pair wonderfully with a fresh salad or steamed vegetables for a balanced meal. For more delicious options, consider browsing more Chinese recipes to complement your meal.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover mini egg rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, bake them in a preheated oven at 375°F for about 10-15 minutes to regain their crispiness. Microwaving is quicker but may result in a softer texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these mini egg rolls ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the egg rolls and freeze them before frying. Lay them flat on a baking sheet to freeze individually, then transfer to a freezer bag. When ready to cook, fry them directly from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time.
What is the best oil for frying these egg rolls?
For frying, use oils with high smoke points, such as vegetable oil, canola oil, or peanut oil. These oils will give you a crispy texture without burning during the frying process.
Can I bake these mini egg rolls instead of frying?
Yes, you can bake them for a healthier alternative. Brush the egg rolls with oil and place them on a baking sheet. Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F for about 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
