The Vegetarian Choice!

For those of you who are vegetarians or who just want to heat healthier look into this egg roll recipe!

1 pkg egg roll wrappers
1 cup sliced mushrooms
1 green onion
2 tbsp and 3 cups peanut oil
1 tsp pre chopped garlic
1 pkg of coleslaw mix
1/3 cup chopped peanuts
1/4 tsp pepper
1/4 tsp sugar
2 tbsp soy sauce




  1. Rinse the mushrooms under running water and dry them thoroughly. Chop them into small pieces and set them aside.
  2. Rinse the green onion and dice it. Then set it aside.
  3. In a non stick pot or wok, heat 2 tablespoons of the peanut oil on high. Add the pre chopped garlic and stir fry for about 1 minute or until the garlic is slightly browned.
  4. Add the coleslaw mixture and mushrooms and stir fry for about 3 minutes or until the coleslaw is soft.
  5. Add the green onion, peanuts, pepper, sugar and soy and stir fry for just 1 more minute. Then remove the pot from the heat.
  6. Begin to fill the egg rolls by taking a wrapper and placing it so that it is in the shape of a diamond and one of the longest points is pointed toward you. Set out a small bowl of water close by so that you can wet the wrapper to seal it together.
  7. Place about 3 to 4 tablespoons of the filling on the middle of the wrapper. Fold the bottom point over the filling. Then using your fingers, slightly dampen the two side points with water and fold them in. Then dampen the far end of the wrapper and roll up the rest of the egg roll. Lightly press to seal it together and set it aside.
  8. Once all of the egg rolls have been filled, heat the remaining 3 cups of oil on high to 350 degrees.
  9. Once the oil is hot, slowly submerge each one into the oil and fry for about 3 minutes. Remove the egg rolls with a slotted spoon and place them on paper towels to drain.
    10. Serve with duck sauce and hot mustard.
