Ingredients

  • 1 pound shrimp peeled and deveined
  • 1.5 ounces vermicelli noodles
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil plus more for noodles
  • 2 cups green cabbage shredded
  • 1 cup carrots shredded
  • 1/2 cup green onions chopped
  • 1 tablespoon garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon ginger grated
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • egg roll wrappers

Instructions

  • Start by boiling a pot of water. Once boiling, add the vermicelli noodles and cook according to package instructions, usually about 3-5 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. Drizzle a little sesame oil over the noodles and toss to coat. Set aside.
  • In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, sautéing for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Then, add the shrimp and cook until they turn pink and opaque, about 3-4 minutes. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and chop into small pieces.
  • In the same skillet, add the shredded cabbage, carrots, and chopped green onions. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp. Return the chopped shrimp to the skillet.
  • Stir in the oyster sauce, soy sauce, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix in the cooked vermicelli noodles, ensuring everything is well combined. Remove from heat and let the filling cool slightly.
  • Take an egg roll wrapper and place it on your rolling surface with one corner pointing towards you. Spoon 2-3 tablespoons of the filling onto the wrapper. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides, and roll tightly to seal. Use a little water to moisten the edges to ensure they stick.
  • In a frying pan or deep fryer, heat oil to 350°F (175°C). Carefully place the egg rolls into the hot oil in batches, cooking for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.
  • Serve your delicious Shrimp Egg Rolls hot with your favorite dipping sauce, like sweet chili sauce or soy sauce!
