Ingredients:
- 1 lb ground chicken (or turkey for a leaner option)
- 1 cup shredded cabbage (or coleslaw mix)
- 1/2 cup shredded carrots
- 1/2 cup chopped green onions (scallions)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tsp ground ginger
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 12 egg roll wrappers (check to make sure they’re lower in calories if desired, or use a healthier alternative)
- 1 tbsp sesame oil (or olive oil for a lighter option)
- Cooking spray (for baking or air frying)
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Filling:
- Heat the sesame oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the ground chicken (or turkey) and cook until browned, breaking it up into crumbles as it cooks.
- Once the meat is cooked through, add the garlic, shredded cabbage, shredded carrots, green onions, soy sauce, rice vinegar, ground ginger, and black pepper. Stir to combine and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, until the vegetables are tender. Remove from heat and allow the mixture to cool for a few minutes.
2. Assemble the Egg Rolls:
- Lay out the egg roll wrappers on a clean surface, placing them with one corner pointing toward you (like a diamond shape).
- Spoon a small amount of the filling mixture into the center of each wrapper (about 2-3 tablespoons).
- Fold the bottom corner of the wrapper over the filling, then fold in the sides and roll up tightly, sealing the top corner with a little water or a paste of cornstarch and water.
3. Cook the Egg Rolls:
- Option 1 – Baking:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Place the egg rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Lightly spray the egg rolls with cooking spray to help them crisp up.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, turning them halfway through, until golden and crispy.
- Option 2 – Air Frying:
- Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
- Lightly spray the egg rolls with cooking spray and place them in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
- Air fry for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
4. Serve:
- Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce like low-sodium soy sauce, sriracha, or a homemade low-calorie dipping sauce.
WW Points:
- On the Blue and Purple plans, each baked or air-fried egg roll is typically 2-3 points, depending on the exact ingredients used, especially the wrapper and oil. You can reduce points by using low-calorie wrappers and reducing the oil used for cooking.
Storage:
- Store leftover egg rolls in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 days. Reheat them in the oven or air fryer to keep them crispy.
Tips & Variations:
- Add more veggies: Feel free to add more veggies like mushrooms, bell peppers, or zucchini for extra fiber and flavor.
- Make it vegetarian: Use tofu or tempeh instead of ground meat for a vegetarian option.
- Add a spicy kick: For extra flavor, add some chopped jalapeños or a little chili paste to the filling.
