Ingredients
Eggroll Wrap
1 lb (N/A)
Coleslaw Mix
16 ounces (Shredded)
Onion
1 medium (Diced)
Soy Sauce
To taste (N/A)
Cooking Oil
3 tablespoons (For frying)
Egg

Instructions
1
Heat 3 tablespoons of oil in a deep frying pan over medium-high heat.
2
Add the coleslaw mix and diced onion to the pan. If you're using meat, add it at this point. Cook until the vegetables are tender and the onion is translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
3
Remove the mixture from heat and let it cool slightly.
4
Lay out an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with one corner pointing toward you. Place approximately 2 heaping tablespoons of the filling mixture in the middle of the wrapper.
5
Fold the bottom corner of the wrapper up over the filling, then fold in the sides snugly. Finally, roll the wrapper away from you to form a tight roll. Beat the egg and brush it on the final flap to seal the egg roll securely.
6
In a deep fryer or a large frying pan, heat cooking oil to 375°F (190°C). Carefully drop the sealed egg rolls in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 2-3 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
7
If you prefer to freeze some for later, arrange them in a single layer on a baking sheet until frozen, then transfer to a resealable freezer bag. For frozen egg rolls, fry for about 6-8 minutes until cooked through and golden.
