Avocado Egg Rolls

December 8, 2021

Jump to Recipe Jump to Video Print Recipe

Avocado egg rolls are my guilty pleasure when I visit Cheesecake Factory. The avocado filling is very creamy and the crispy egg roll shell makes this dish so scrumptious. I made my own sweet chili sauce but any sweet and sour sauce goes super well with this dish.

Make sure to make these avocado rolls at your next party and they will be a hit. These are also vegetarian friendly! If you want to make them vegan, substitute the egg roll wrappers with rice paper and use water instead of egg. Hope you enjoy!

INGREDIENTS YOU NEED FOR YOUR AVOCADO EGG ROLLS:

avocado egg rolls:

  • avocado
  • red onion
  • cilantro
  • sun dried tomatoes
  • corn
  • salt and pepper
  • lemon
  • egg
  • egg roll wrappers
  • corn oil

sweet chili sauce:

  • water
  • rice vinegar
  • sugar
  • sambal or red chili pepper
  • garlic
  • corn starch
  • salt

STEPS TO MAKE THE AVOCADO EGG ROLLS:

  1. To make the avocado filling, combine 1/4 cup chopped red onion, chopped cilantro, 1/2 cup sun dried tomatoes, 1/2 cup corn, and salt & pepper. Mix together.
  2. Chop avocados in big strips. Ensure that the avocados are not over ripe so they are not too mushy. Gently mix avocado in the mixture from step 1 and squeeze a little bit of lemon juice.
  3. Whisk one egg. Egg wash is used to seal the egg roll wrappers.
  4. For one egg roll wrapper, scoop 2-3 tablespoons of filling. Start rolling from the bottom really tightly. Fold the right flap in and fold the left. Add some egg wash at the top and finish rolling.
  5. Add 4-5 cups of corn oil in a pot. Heat to low-medium. Once the oil is hot (325 degrees), cook 3-4 egg rolls in the pot. Cook for 10-12 minutes until golden brown. Make sure the oil is not too hot or the egg rolls will brown up too quickly and the inside of the egg roll skin will not be cooked.
  6. Rest the egg rolls on a paper towel or wire rack for the oil to drip.
  7. To make the sweet chili sauce, combine 1/2 cup water, 3 tbs rice vinegar, 2 tbs sugar, 1 tbs sambal chili sauce, 3 cloves minced garlic, 1/2 tbs corn starch, and 1/2 tsp salt. Mix together and cook on the pot on low-medium heat. Keep stirring until there are no clumps and the sauce thickens.
  8. Dip egg rolls in the sweet chili sauce or sauce of choice and enjoy while warm!

    This sounds really good, but I fry my egg rolls in a mini electric skillet, which uses much less oil. Reheated oils are very carcinogenic, which means they should be discarded after one use, so this is a big waste of oil.

My new favorite soup right now 😍Here’s a supe My new favorite soup right now 😍Here’s a super easy and not traditional Korean ox bone soup aka Seolleongtang 설렁탕 🥰 Super hot bone broth is topped with beautifully marbled beef, Chinese chives, green onions, and some salt and pepper to taste. Add some Korean kimchi radish and it’s chef’s kiss!

See blog post for more detail on the ingredients (like which bone broth I bought) and full recipe ◡̈ You gotta use somen noodles for this recipe. It only takes 3 minutes to make. Tip: boil noodles at the same time as the broth to make cooking fast🍜

Wishing you luck, health and prosperity with this Wishing you luck, health and prosperity with this turnip cake recipe aka loh bok go in cantonese. Gung Hey Fat Choy ([恭喜发财] my dumplings! PS. I don’t recommend saying lai see dou loi unless you’re very close to that relative or you are a young child lol

Full recipe is linked in bio or find on my bloggg 🧧🐰

I finally finished testing out this recipe (it’s beeen a few months haha)! I was struggling with the texture for a little while. Now, the recipe is good to go ◡̈  The flavor is very savory from the chinese sausage and cured pork belly (made from my dad!) and also sweet from the radish. The texture is firm but not too doughy because I loaded this up with lots and lots of radish. You will never find a restaurant that has as much radish as this homemade recipe. Lastly, I pan fried the turnip cake to give it a nice crisp at the end. 

Don’t forget Chinese New Year is celebrated on the eve (21st of January!) so have a nice dinner with your family on Saturday. Then my mom told me to not clean or do any labor on actual Chinese New Years Day (22nd of January). Wishing all you dumplings good health and wealth in the upcoming year.

This egg drop soup is inspired by my parent’s Ch This egg drop soup is inspired by my parent’s Chinese restaurant 😋Silken tofu is cooked in a sweet chicken broth and cornstarch slurry is added to thicken the soup as well as make the smooth & thick texture. 

Some Cantonese restaurants serve this with real crab meat (highly recommend if you have this!) and the color is on the whiter end (hence why we’re using egg whites!). However, if you want to use the whole egg, feel free to use it! The egg yolk makes the soup more yellow and creamy. 

You can google ‘cook with dana egg drop soup’ for full recipe or find it in my link in bio! Hope you have a wonderful week my dumplings and can’t wait to show you my Chinese New Year recipes!

Fridge clean out time! 🙃 Crab jeon (omelette) o Fridge clean out time! 🙃 Crab jeon (omelette) or korean seafood pancake is a great recipe to use all your leftover ingredients in the fridge. For groceries, I always use the ‘first in, first out’ method meaning the older groceries need to be used before eating the new stuff. I’m chopping up leftover vegetables and onions in small pieces and mixing them together with imitation crab. The pancake may taste different depending on what ingredients you have but once you mix it with eggs and some flour (especially korean pancake mix!), it will taste scrumptious in it’s own unique way. 

The next time you stock up, make sure to keep some type of seafood in the freezer at all times. For me, I tend to buy extra imitation crab and shrimp. Then you will always have good staples to make with your leftover ingredients. 

Check link in bio for recipe or google ‘crab jeon dana’ to find full recipe and directions ◡̈ Stay dry california dumplings, there’s lots of rain here haha.

My uncle taught me how to make braised pork over r My uncle taught me how to make braised pork over rice! This dish tastes sweet and savory (similar to teriyaki) which goes so well with rice. The recipe is inspired by Japanese soboro don which is served with scrambled egg, but I think it also reminds me of the Taiwanese dish, Lu rou fan. We cook the ground pork down in some beer to make the meat taste sweeter as well as cut down on the gaminess. 

Don’t forget to serve with hot white rice and a sunny side egg to complete the meal. I was intensely writing down the ingredients and instructions so you can make it at home 😉❤️Check it out in my link in bio or google ‘braised pork rice dana’ 🍚

You’re about to eat 2 bowls of rice with this ea You’re about to eat 2 bowls of rice with this easy and delicious mapo tofu! This is spicy, flavorful and a little tingly from the peppercorn oil. This is not an authentic replica of the sichuan mapo tofu but it’s very close. I would say the dish is a combo of sichuan and cantonese flavors 😍
My uncle taught me how to make this and it’s one of my favorite recipes to cook when I don’t have a lot of ingredients in the fridge. Also eating spicy and hot foods when it’s cold outside always makes me happy for some reason. Check full recipe in the blog or link in bio 🥵❤️‍🔥🌶

Sorry y’all for the lighting in the video. It’s cold and gloomy here in California. Hopefully weather gets better and we can have some golden ☀️ shots! Love you all and stay warm dumplings.
