These egg rolls are the perfect solution for all those corned beef, cabbage, and carrot leftovers from St. Patrick’s Day. When you’re rolling them up, be sure to get a tight seal on the ends. You don’t want any oil getting inside. Get the recipe for corned beef here.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    Makes 6

Ingredients

Egg Roll Mustard Sauce

¼

cup Dijon mustard

2

tablespoons French’s yellow mustard

1

tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon unseasoned rice vinegar

1

tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon mustard powder

¼

teaspoon cayenne pepper

Egg Rolls and Assembly

2

cups coarsely chopped cooked cabbage (about 7 ounces)

1

cup (packed) coarsely chopped cooked corned beef (about 5 ounces)

½

cup coarsely chopped cooked carrots (about 3 ounces)

Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper

6

wonton wrappers

Neutral oil (for frying; about 4 cups)

Special Equipment

A deep-fry thermometer

Preparation

  1. Egg Roll Mustard Sauce

    Step 1

    Whisk Dijon mustard, yellow mustard, rice vinegar, mustard powder, and cayenne in a small bowl until smooth. Chill until ready to use.

    Step 2

    Do Ahead: Sauce can be made 2 days ahead; cover and chill.

  2. Egg Rolls and Assembly

    Step 3

    Place cabbage, corned beef, and carrots in a food processor; season with salt and pepper. Pulse until pieces are slightly smaller than pea-size.

    Step 4

    Working one at a time, place wonton wrapper on a work surface with 1 corner facing you. Place 2.5 oz. (about ⅓ cup) filling in center of wrapper and shape into a horizontal 4"-long log. Dip your fingers in water and lightly brush top, left, and right corners of wrapper. Roll bottom corner up and over filling, then tuck under filling. Fold left and right corners tightly over filling to enclose, then continue to roll bundle away from you, tucking as you go, to create a classic egg roll shape. Both sides should be as close to sealed as possible; use a little water to pinch and patch.

    Step 5

    Fit a medium pot with deep-fry thermometer and pour in oil to come halfway up the sides. Heat over high until thermometer registers 350°. Reduce heat to medium. Working in batches, fry egg rolls until lightly browned and crisp, 3–4 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool slightly before serving; the finished texture should be crispy but still have a little chew to it. Serve with sauce alongside.

  • i'd add lots more raw crunchy veggies (e.g., radish, scallion, jicama, water chestnut, sprouts) and fresh chopped herbs (e.g., cilantro, parsley, mint), and lime zest for the filling + lime juice to toss the herbs in. the idea is great, to use corned beef/cabbage in an oriental egg roll, but i'd throw in the flavor profile of Mexico, too. there's plenty of room for everyone!

  • I made these with our St. Paddy's day leftovers this year and they were a huge hit. I mistakenly ordered wonton wrappers instead of egg roll wrappers, but they still turned out great in wonton form. Served them with BA's Guiness Mustard as a dipping sauce and watched them disappear almost as fast as I could cook them.

  • Wow, I can't wait. I'm craving to eat a deep-fried, corn beef, cabbage eggroll, with diced chives, scallions, and fresh herbs. My dipping sauces will be Dijon mustard and a side order of Thousand Island dressing. Yummy, yummy ........................Milwaukee, WI
