Chicken Egg Rolls

We all pitch in as a family to help make Chicken Egg Rolls.

2 lbs boneless skinless chicken cut ½” chunks
2 cloves fresh garlic minced
3 tbls oil
2 lbs fresh bean sprouts
½ lb (8 oz) sliced fresh mushrooms
½ cup green onion chopped
½ cup thinly sliced celery
½ cup shredded carrot
½ cup bamboo shoots
2 tbls soy sauce
2 tsp five spice powder
2 pkgs egg roll skins
1 egg
2 tbls cornstarch
3 cups oil for frying

Heat oil in large skillet and add about ¼ of the chicken at a time and sprinkle about ¼ tsp five spice powder and part of the garlic and fry at med high heat. Remove the cooked chicken to a large bowl and set aside.Do the same thing with remaining chicken.

Add a bit more oil to pan as needed and quickly fry up celery and carrots. When still crisp-tender add to bowl of cooked chicken. Proceed to bean sprouts, drained bamboo shoots and green onions and only cook a few minutes and then add to chicken mixture.

Cook the mushrooms last and add to mixture with soy sauce and remaining five spice powder.

Mix the egg and cornstarch to seal the wrappers when filling and deep fry egg rolls for 2-3 minutes. For Pork Egg Rolls; use cubed pork instead of chicken and one head shredded cabbage instead of bean sprouts. Serve with Egg Roll Sauce recipe below.

20 oz crushed pineapple
1 cup sugar
½ cup rice vinegar
14 oz plum jelly or can jellied cranberry sauce
2 tbls soy sauce
2 tbls water with 2 tbls cornstarch
