Guilt Free Egg Rolls

What you will need:


Egg roll wrappers
Bean Sprouts
Green Scallions
Shrimp or Meat of choice
Sliced Carrots
4 Eggs
Soy Sauce
Any veggies you would like 
Grape Seed Oil- This is a non fat oil you can find at your local asian market 


Directions:
In a large bowl add the bean sprouts, carrots, shrimp, green scallions, and any other veggies. Add 3 eggs and eye ball enough soy sauce to cover the contents in the bowl. TIP: Use low sodium soy sauce. Mix with your hands until all of the veggies and shrimp are covered evenly. 

In a small bowl whip 1 egg and take out the egg roll wrappers. Dip your fingers into the egg and spread it on the corners of the wrapper. Place a medium sized spoonful of the veggie/meat mixture into the middle of the wrapper. Fold in the sides first and then roll bottom to top.
Add in a large pot the grape seed oil & allow the oil to get hot on a medium heat.
TIP: You can spritz some water into the oil with your hands and if it bubbles immediately you know it's ready. Place the uncooked egg roll in the oil. When the wrapper turns golden brown remove it from the oil with a Spider Skimmer if you don't have one tongs will work just as well.
Have a plate with a paper towel to place the hot egg rolls. The paper towel will absorb any extra oil on the egg rolls. 










These egg rolls are perfect for an appetizer at your next party! One package of wrappers makes plenty and you don't have to worry about working this fried snack off at the gym
