To make coleslaw egg rolls, follow these steps:
Step 1: Prepare the Coleslaw Filling

- Place about 2 tablespoons of the prepared coleslaw filling in the center of the wrapper.
Step 3: Roll the Egg Rolls

Step 4: Fry the Egg Rolls
- Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pot over medium heat.

- Use a slotted spoon to transfer the fried egg rolls to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
- Serve the coleslaw egg rolls while they're still warm.

To make coleslaw egg rolls, you will need the following ingredients:
- Coleslaw mix (packaged or homemade)
- Egg roll wrappers
- Cooked chicken or pork (optional)
- Soy sauce or your preferred dipping sauce
- Oil for frying
Here's a step-by-step guide explaining how to make coleslaw egg rolls:
1. Prepare the coleslaw mix: If using a packaged coleslaw mix, follow the instructions on the packaging to prepare it. If making homemade coleslaw, combine shredded cabbage, carrots, and any other desired vegetables in a bowl. You can season the coleslaw mix with salt, pepper, and a creamy dressing or vinaigrette of your choice.
2. Optionally, add cooked chicken or pork: If you want to include some protein in your egg rolls, you can add cooked chicken or pork to the coleslaw mix. Shred or dice the cooked meat and mix it thoroughly with the coleslaw.
3. Prepare the egg roll wrappers: Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean work surface. Orient it in a diamond shape, with one corner pointing towards you. If you're using square wrappers, rotation may be necessary to achieve the diamond shape.
4. Add the coleslaw filling: Spoon a few tablespoons of the coleslaw filling onto the center of the wrapper. Be careful not to overstuff it, as it may cause the wrapper to tear.
5. Roll the egg rolls: Fold the bottom corner of the wrapper up and over the filling, tucking it in tightly. Then, fold in the two sides of the wrapper and continue rolling it up until you reach the top corner. Moisten the edges of the wrapper with a little water to seal it.
6. Repeat the process: Repeat steps 3 to 5 for the remaining wrappers and filling.
7. Fry the egg rolls: Heat oil in a deep pan or pot for frying. Once the oil reaches around 350-375°F (175-190°C), carefully lower the egg rolls into the hot oil. Fry them until golden brown and crispy, which usually takes about 3-4 minutes.
8. Drain and serve: Use a slotted spoon to remove the egg rolls from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve the coleslaw egg rolls warm with soy sauce or your preferred dipping sauce.
