Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 1/2 cup finely diced onions
  • 1/2 cup finely diced celery
  • 1 cup finely shredded Napa or white cabbage
  • Salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 1/2 cup finely grated carrots
  • 1/2 pound peeled crawfish tails
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 2 teaspoons untoasted sesame seeds
  • 1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh cilantro
  • 2 eggs
  • 8 egg roll skins
  • 6 cups vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup dry mustard
  • 1/4 cup water
  • Hot Sesame Drizzle, recipe follows
  • Garnish: Cilantro leaves

Directions

In a saute pan, over medium heat, add the oil. When the oil is hot, add the onions, celery, cabbage. Season with salt and pepper. Saute for 2 minutes. Add the garlic and carrots, saute for 2 minutes. Add the crawfish tails. Season with salt and pepper. Continue to saute for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and turn into a mixing bowl. Add the sesame oil, sesame seeds, and cilantro. Mix well. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in 1 of the eggs. In a small mixing bowl, beat the remaining egg. Lay the egg roll skins on a flat surface and brush them with some of the remaining egg. Place one eighth of the filling at one end of each skin, leaving a 1/4-inch border at the top and sides, and roll up, tucking in the ends after the first roll. Heat the oil in a large saucepan. When the is hot, about 370 degrees F, fry the egg rolls until golden brown, about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the fryer and drain on paper towels. Season with Essence. To serve, slice each egg roll in half, diagonally and place on each serving plate. Combine dry mustard with water. Drizzle each egg roll with the hot mustard and Hot Sesame Drizzle. Garnish with cilantro leaves.

    I was looking for an egg roll dipping sauce I could make with ingredients I had on hand. I made Guy Fieri's Chicken and avacado egg rolls. The sauce had a great flavor but was way too thin. I tried to reduce but that was taking too long. I ended up wisking in some cornstarch mixed with soy sauce to thicken it. Family loved it.
