Baked Vegetable Egg Rolls adapted from For the love of cooking: Baked Vegetable Egg Rolls

1 tsp olive oil

2 cups broccoli slaw

1/2 cup of bean sprouts

1/2 can of water chestnuts, chopped

1 tbsp green onions, sliced

1/2 tsp fresh ginger, grated

1 tbsp soy sauce

1/2 tbsp corn starch

2 Tbsp water

7 egg roll wraps

Cooking Spray

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the broccoli slaw, sprouts, carrots, water chestnuts and ginger to the pan;cook, stirring frequently for 4-5 minutes, until the vegetables are tender-crisp. Mix the corn starch with the water and mix thoroughly. Add the corn starch mixture, soy sauce and green onions. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes or until the sauce thickens. Remove from heat and let cool.

Place two tablespoons of the cooled mixture on the center of the egg roll wrap. Fold the bottom up over the filling. Next, fold the two sides over, making it look like an envelope, then roll it up like a burrito.

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Place the egg rolls on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Spray the top of each egg roll with cooking spray. Bake for 8-10 minutes then turn them over. Bake for an additional 5-7 minutes or until crispy and golden brown. Serve with your favorite Asian Dipping Sauce. We prefer Ling Ling Potsticker Sauce or just plain soy sauce.
