Instructions
1
In a stand mixer, combine eggs, brown rice flour, potato flour, tapioca flour, salt, xanthan gum, and mix for 5 minutes until a soft dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, gradually add more rice flour; if it’s too dry, beat another egg and add it slowly until it reaches a firm yet pliable consistency.
2
Using a pasta roller or a rolling pin, roll out the dough until it's very thin (to a '5' setting on an Atlas pasta machine). Aim for a consistency similar to traditional egg roll wrappers. Cut the rolled dough into wonton-sized rectangles and set aside.
3
For the filling, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add shredded pork or chicken, bean sprouts, shredded carrots, shredded cabbage, and sliced onion. Sprinkle in powdered ginger, soy sauce, salt, and pepper. Stir and cook until the vegetables are tender and the cabbage is wilted. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
4
To assemble, place a wonton rectangle on a clean work surface oriented like a diamond. Spoon a portion of the filling onto the center of the wrapper. Dampen the edges with a small amount of water, fold the bottom point towards the center, followed by the two side points, and finally roll the top point down to seal. Make sure to press firmly to avoid leakage during frying.
5
Heat oil in a deep-fryer or a deep skillet to 350°F (175°C). Carefully add the prepared egg rolls and fry in batches for 2-3 minutes, or until they are golden brown. Remove from oil and drain on paper towels. Serve warm with gluten-free soy sauce or sweet and sour sauce for dipping.
