Egg Rolls Fried in Beef Tallow

Egg rolls fried in beef tallow are the BEST!  

At the request of a dear friend who was very honest with me, I'm reposting this homemade egg rolls recipe to replace my old picture that she couldn't stand looking at anymore, lol.  If you see any other old posts like that around here with scary pics (there are still several…what was I thinking??!), feel free to email me–I can take it!  Then I'll update that one too.  🙂

These egg rolls fried in beef tallow, are crispy and delicious!   (Here's where to find beef tallow from pastured cows online or how to render it yourself.  Read more about healthy fats here and why you don't need to fear animal fats, and in fact they are so good for you!)  I often serve it with this simple fried rice recipe.  I’ve combined a few different recipes here, and it’s really not difficult to make, but does take some time to get the veggies for the egg roll filling ready…

Egg Rolls Fried in Beef Tallow

Servings: 17 egg rolls
Author: Kelly the Kitchen Kop

Ingredients

  • 6 Tablespoons butter or sesame oil, or I used some of both
  • 1 medium head cabbage or bok choy, shredded
  • About 1/4 pound carrots, julienned
  • 4 green onions, sliced small
  • 3 eggs, beaten
  • 2 Tablespoons fermented soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried ginger, or about 1" of fresh peeled ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon palm or coconut sugar
  • 1/8 cup Optional: celery cut small
  • 1/2 cup Optional: peas
  • 1 cup Optional: cooked chicken, shrimp, or pork in small pieces (Don't have a good local source for pastured meats, here's where I buy healthy, safe meat online.)
  • Optional: some add cooked rice
  • 14 oz. package egg roll wrappers I Googled for recipes, fully expecting that I’d have to make these from scratch, but I found some without MSG or GMO’s, and a not-too-bad ingredient label! Good thing, since I didn’t feel like making them anyway.
  • 1 egg beaten
  • 2 tubs Beef tallow for a healthy frying oil Get it here if you don’t want to render tallow yourself. We use this for French fries, chicken nuggets, fish, etc.

Instructions

  • Heat 4 Tablespoons butter or sesame oil in a wok or large cast iron skillet over medium/high heat.  If you're using fresh ginger, fry that for a minute first to soften. Stir in cabbage and carrots, cook for 2 minutes to wilt.  Make a space in the middle of the pan and add eggs. Mix around to scramble, then stir into the veggies. Add green onions, soy sauce, salt, pepper, dried ginger if you're not using fresh, garlic powder, palm or coconut sugar, and optional celery, peas or meat; continue cooking until veggies soften, about 5 minutes.  At this point, do a taste-test and see if it needs anything, more salt maybe? Let cool for a few minutes.
  • To assemble the egg rolls, place a wrapper onto your work surface with one corner pointing towards you.  Place about 3 Tablespoons of cooled filling onto the bottom third of the wrapper.  Brush a little beaten egg onto the top two edges of the wrapper, then fold the bottom corner over the filling and roll firmly to the halfway point. 
  • Fold the left and right sides snugly over the egg roll, using egg wash as needed to hold the sides in place, then continue rolling until the top corners seal the egg roll with the egg wash, being careful not to let it tear.  Repeat with the remaining egg roll wrappers, covering finished egg rolls with plastic wrap to keep from drying out before they’re fried.
  • Heat your beef tallow (to 375*) in a deep-fat fryer or I used a fairly deep saucepan that would fit more egg rolls at a time.
  • Fry until golden brown on each side, drain on paper towels, then place on a cookie sheet in a warm oven until serving.
  • This recipe made 17 egg rolls but I didn’t use chicken or celery this time, so it will all depend on what you're using in them, how big your cabbage is, and how much you fill them before wrapping.

We loved these egg rolls fried in beef tallow, but thought they needed just a little sweet and sour sauce to dip them in, so I adapted my old recipe with rotten ingredients into this new one:

Sweet & Sour Dipping Sauce

Author: Kelly the Kitchen Kop

Ingredients

  • 6 ounce can pineapple juice without HFCS
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 Tablespoon fermented soy sauce
  • 1 1/2 Tablespoons organic corn starch organic to avoid the GMOs
  • 1/8 cup palm or coconut sugar
  • 1 1/2 Tablespoons organic raw apple cider vinegar

Instructions

  • Combine the ingredients in a small saucepan.  Heat until thick, stirring constantly.  This makes a small batch, just enough for a little dipping, but not too much since it’s very sweet.  Enjoy!

      The ones I used recently were “Nasoya”. Ingredients are not bad and they’re no GMO. 🙂

    Kelly, I was thinking. What about saving all the grease when cooking to fry with? If so, how should I store it?

      Yes I do that too if it didn’t get too gunky while using it to cook in. In that case I’d let it cool all of the way first and then store in a jar.

    These look SO yummy, I miss making them with my parents as a kid. Can you tell us the brand of eggroll wrappers you found to be MSG/GMO free so I can look for the same at the stores in my area (NW AR)? Thank you so much; ‘really looking forward to these! : )

      Sorry I don’t have any in front of me to look at, but it was the only brand my store even had, so just check the label and hopefully your store has a good brand, too. (I’m in Michigan.)

    Kelly, I’m curious your thoughts on Bragg’s Liquid Aminos. I have been against them for years, because they’re soy, but so many health people say they’re different and good for us. I noticed you linked to a different soy sauce. I may have to try that out, but wondered if you knew anything about the aminos. I went ahead and bought a bottle recently, and they do have a different taste–not bad, but different. I didn’t mind the difference, but my husband did. I would really like to find a product that has a taste my family likes, yet is good for us. Thanks!

      @Shannon,

      That’s a good question, I’m not sure, though. I’ll put it on Facebook and see what we can find out, so keep an eye out there. 🙂

    I made this and your egg-drop soup the other night. Hubby was very impressed. I usually cant stand Chinese food but this pregnancy is already taking me for a ride. Everyone adored them and the sauce. I did cheat and use a bag of coleslaw since I was in a hurry and feeling queasy. Thanks for a great recipe!

    Kelly, I’m curious about one thing… you mention using organic cornstarch, “organic to avoid the GMOs”… does this mean that if it’s organic there’s no danger of it being GMO?

    Reply
    • Kelly the Kitchen Kop says

      July 10, 2011 at 11:30 AM

      Hi Shauna,

      I’ve heard that GM crops are making their way even into the organic food supply, but buying organic at least means there’s a much better chance that it’s GMO free.

    Kelly, I found you a couple of days ago while menu planning for the week. Must say I am SO EXCITED that someone has created healthy Chinese food recipes. When I read Nourishing Traditions a few years back I thought I’d never eat another eggroll. Tonight we made them with some tallow I’ve been trying to finish up and they were delicious! My two year-old LOVED them and so did the hubs! I posted a link on my blog so my friends can enjoy them as much as I did!

    Betsy,

    Depending on how many you eat, 17 is even a lot to freeze. If I were you I’d cut the batch in half, and freeze them BEFORE frying, then just make sure they’re all the way thawed before frying or it might splatter when cooking. This way they’ll still be nice and crispy when it’s time to eat. 🙂

    Oh. Wow. These look wonderful! Thanks for the recipe for the dipping sauce. I just tried using Arrowroot powder instead of my regular GMO-free cornstarch and it works so well! I just used it the same way I use the cornstarch. I’m trying to limit the corn products we eat. 🙂

    Oh, excellent! They look fantastic, Kelly.

    Do you think they’d freeze, and reheat in the oven okay? I wouldn’t expect the just-fried crispy goodness, of course. But I’m cooking for just one, maybe two people and 17 egg rolls is a LOT.

    Not that I couldn’t make a good dent in the pile myself, but one must practice moderation. 🙂

    LOVELY. I haven’t had an eggroll in years! These look phenomenal. I’d love to whip up a batch of those and serve them with a homemade, nourishing egg drop soup.
