Servings: 18
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon ginger fresh grated
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1 pound ground chicken or pork
- 4 tablespoons sesame oil divided
- 18 egg roll wrappers 6 inch size (or wonton wrappers)
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 cup matchstick carrots
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 8 oz coleslaw mix
- 1 cup mung bean sprouts
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon white pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 2 green onions or scallions thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
Instructions
- In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, fresh ginger and cornstarch.
- Add the ground chicken and stir until fully coated. Set aside for 15 minutes while you bake the cups.
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Brush the inside of the muffin tin with sesame oil. Press the wrappers into the cavities of the cupcake tin to form a cup shape.
- Brush the inside of the cups. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are crispy and bubbly. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes then move to a rack to cool.
- Heat the oil in a large frying pan or wok. Cook the ground chicken until no longer pink (roughly 33-4 minutes). Add the carrots and garlic and cook until they start to soften.
- Add in the cabbage mix and cook for 3-4 minutes more. Stir in the spices and bean sprouts and cook for 1-2 minutes more. Remove from the heat and stir in 1 tablespoon of sesame oil.
- Spoon the mixture into the wonton cups. Sprinkle the top with sliced green onions and sesame seeds. Serve warm!
Notes
- I like to use wonton cups when I am making these as an appetizer and the egg roll wrappers when they are the main course. You can always make "wonton chips" and serve the filling as a dip or crush the chips on top. Like a deconstructed egg roll.
- Make your own egg roll filling from your favorite vegetables if you prefer. It's a great way to use up leftover vegetables like onions, bell peppers, and even broccoli. Snap peas are a great addition. Leaving out the chicken makes them vegetarian.
- Toasting your sesame seeds before using them really brings out the flavor.
- Don't limit yourself to egg roll filling. Try some steamed rice and your favorite garlic chicken or teriyaki beef.
- Adding a little spice is easy. Stir in some wasabi, Sriracha, or even some chili crunch. It's so delicious!
