Homemade Baked Egg Rolls

These egg rolls are crazy-easy to make, and definitely a crowd pleaser. I brought them to a  recipe swap and when I looked at the table a few minutes after everyone had started eating, they were GONE.

You’ll need:

  • egg roll wrappers
  • a bag of cole slaw mix
  • a can of mushrooms
  • 1 tsp garlic, minced
  • 1/4 tsp ground ginger
  • a splash of soy sauce
  • salt and pepper
  • cooking spray or olive oil in a mister (I use olive oil in a mister)

Optional:

  • mung bean sprouts
  • can of tiny cooked shrimp
  • anything else you think would be good inside of the egg rolls

homemade egg rolls

1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Put your cole slaw in a large microwave-safe bowl, cover, and microwave 3-6 minutes.

2. Chop your mushrooms and put them in a mixing bowl. This is also when you’d put in the bean sprouts, shrimp, or other fillings.

3.  Splash in some soy sauce.

4. Add the garlic. I used a HEAPING teaspoon but I like garlic.

5. And sprinkle in the ginger.

6. By now your cole slaw mix should be cooked. Drain it to get out any excess liquid as no one likes a soggy egg roll.

7. Then combine the cole slaw mix with the rest of the ingredients.

8. Place a bit of filling in the center of each wrapper. (See that little bowl? That has water in it, which you’ll need for sealing the edges.)

9.Fold in two of the corners.

10. Put a bit of water on the top edges with your finger. Fold up the bottom, and roll as tightly as you can to the edge.

11. It helps if you sort of tuck it as you are rolling.

12. Voila!

13. Repeat for the rest of the wrappers, and place the egg rolls on a baking sheet sprayed with non-stick spray or olive oil (mmm… olive oil). Spray the tops of the egg rolls with the oil, too.

14. Bake 15 minutes, then flip the egg rolls over and bake an additional 10-15 minutes. Let cool slightly before serving (this will let the wrappers get a little more crisp too).

15. Serve with soy sauce mixed with rice vinegar for dipping, or your favorite dipping sauce (spicy mustard? duck sauce?).

    Can I bake these and then freeze them? If so, at what temperature and how long would I reheat them?

    A woman from our church brought these for a potluck on Sunday. They were absolutely delicious and gone in a flash! I’m making them for dinner tonight! Thank you!

    I prefer to use a Broccoli Slaw to regular coleslaw – the shreds are a bit bigger. Saute the Broccoli slaw with onion and garlic – add any other tasties you wish. I like chicken or baby shrimp in mine :)

      Ohhh – I wonder how these would work for left over meat from a turkey – let’s say at Thanksgiving! Maybe make a cranberry dipping sauce to go with it. just a thought

    This is a great recipe, but the format makes it really hard to follow. It was a big pain to keep scrolling all the way up and down the zillion pictures to find out how much garlic I needed, and then what the next step was, and then all the way to the top again to find out how hot the oven was…Maybe have a more readable recipe at the beginning or end?

    i just tried it. i hated deep frying them because for one i do not have a deep fryer and baking them are just easier XD
    i run out of egg roller warpers so i used the round warpers i had. both tastes so good; the reason i run out of warper is because i had to much cole slaw and not enough gound beef or warpers, but it worked out in the end. i am gald i do not have to use my big pots for deep frying anymore. and also baking is better for me and my dad will be happy that i am not eating deep fryed stuff anymore ^-^
    also the round warpers time is cut in halve because for one they are smaller and two there not much filling in them

    I tried using two wrappers, chopping up the cole slaw mix more finely and adding ground veal and they were amazing! Thanks for the great base recipe!!!!

    I was wondering too, but the first step is to turn on your oven to 375. Did you try these? I think I may!

    I finally made this — it was so easy and tasted great! I used some homemade apricot jam we were given as the base for a dipping sauce — apricot jam, ginger, rice vinegar, red pepper flakes, maybe some garlic powder? Sort of like a plum sauce, but an apricot ginger version.

    Hey, I tried these this weekend and they were great! I found it made 24 egg rolls – there were 24 wrappers in the package – and had a little filling left over. I used fresh raw mushrooms (8 ounces of sliced baby portobellos) and sauteed them with the bean sprouts in a little olive oil first.

    I also found that I greatly preferred to use olive oil as the oil to put on the outside of the egg rolls; it seemed to make them get crispier.

    Dana, I’m not sure how many wrappers are in a package, but the filling is enough for all of the wrappers in the package with a bit extra… maybe 20ish rolls? I’m not sure.

    How many egg rolls does this recipe make? I’m going to try this recipe for my campers and I need an idea of how many I can get per batch. Thanks so much. I hope these are as good and simple as they look!

    Lorri, do you have a steamer basket that fits inside or over one of your pots? That way you’d be able to steam the cole slaw mix without it sitting in a bunch of water.
    If not, cooking it in about half an inch of water (with the lid on) for a couple minutes would probably be fine.

    Aww, I don’t have a microwave. Any suggestions on cooking the cole slaw mixture? These look great. Maybe I could saute the cole slaw in a pan with a little water?

      Steaming the cole slaw works. I used a broccoli cole slaw mix – delicious.

    I wonder if the uncooked rolls would freeze well? It seems to me that they would – cheaper and better for you than buying the pre-prepared frozen stuff.

    (I’m always trying to figure out ways to make big batches of stuff store-able; I live alone and don’t often entertain.)

    • lunaKM

      They freeze just fine. Make sure you put them on a sheet pan and freeze them without the sides touching and then you can package them up in a freezer bag and pull them out to cook directly from frozen :)

    These look so great!! I like the idea of baking them too instead of the fryer! I will def try these! Hubby likes pork in his, so I might add some to his!
