🛒 Ingredients
For the Gluten-Free Wonton Wrappers:
1 cup rice flour
1 cup tapioca flour
2 eggs
1/4 cup water (add more if needed)
Pinch of salt
For the Egg Roll Filling:
1 lb ground pork (or chicken)
1 cup shredded carrots
1 cup shredded cabbage
1/2 cup sliced mushrooms
2 tablespoons gluten-free soy sauce (or tamari)
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Cooking oil for frying
🥄 Instructions
Make the Gluten-Free Wonton Wrappers:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rice flour, tapioca flour, eggs, and a pinch of salt.
Gradually add water, mixing until a dough forms. You may need to adjust the amount of water, adding little by little until the dough is firm but smooth.
Divide the dough into small portions and roll them into small balls. Roll each ball out into a thin, round wrapper about 4-5 inches in diameter. If the dough sticks, lightly dust with rice flour.
Set the wrappers aside, separating them with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Prepare the Egg Roll Filling:
Heat sesame oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add ground pork (or chicken) and cook until browned.
Add shredded carrots, cabbage, and mushrooms. Stir-fry until vegetables soften, about 5 minutes.
Stir in soy sauce, garlic powder, ginger, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, ensuring the seasoning is well distributed. Remove from heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly.
Assemble the Egg Rolls:
Take one of your homemade wonton wrappers and place a spoonful of the filling in the center.
Fold the edges of the wrapper over the filling, and then roll tightly, sealing the edge with a little water to keep it in place.
Fry the Egg Rolls:
Heat oil in a large pan or deep fryer over medium heat.
Carefully place the egg rolls in the hot oil, cooking for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oil and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
Serve and Enjoy:
Serve your gluten-free egg rolls with your favorite dipping sauce, like sweet chili sauce or gluten-free soy sauce.
