Veggie Egg Rolls #SundaySupper

Incorporating enough vegetables in your child’s meal can be a pretty daunting task day after day. My kids are grown and have their own families now but I remember all too clearly the challenge. I found that being matter a fact about our meals and eating vegetables myself was also key. One thing I did notice was that the kids loved to dip their food into sauces, and so recipes like this came in handy.

For today’s post I made Baked Veggie Egg Rolls. In this recipe I purchased the carrots already sliced into matchsticks, bean sprouts, and then a prepared packaged slaw (how convenient). For these egg rolls I made a soy based sauce, no spice and I bought the egg roll wrappers from the produce section of the grocery store. Kids naturally seem to like carrots, maybe because they are sweet. The veggies are lightly sautéed, drained and then left to cool. The egg wrappers were surprisingly easy to roll. Turn the wrapper until one of the points are facing you, add in 1 to 2 heaping tablespoons of the sautéed veggies, lightly add water to the edges to roll and seal. Then into the oven, in which they are turned halfway through and there you go. A wonderful family snack or meal.

It’s a Sunday Supper post again. Many thanks to our event manager, Cricket of Cricket’s Confections, and this week's host, Anne from Simple and Savory. Today’s event is all about your best kid friendly veggie recipes. Now the recipes don’t have to be vegetarian, just loaded with veggies.

Baked Veggie Egg Rolls

INGREDIENTS:

Dipping Sauce
  • 1/2 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
  • 3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (toasted)
For the Egg Rolls
  • 1 package egg roll wrapper (I found mine in the produce section of the grocery store)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1-inch knob of ginger, minced
  • 1 cup organic julienned carrots
  • 2 cups mung bean sprouts
  • 1 package cabbage slaw 8.75 ounces
  • 2 stalks scallions, thinly sliced

INSTRUCTIONS:

To Prepare Dipping Sauce
  1. Whisk together the soy sauce, lime juice and sesame seeds, set aside.
To Prepare Egg Rolls
  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Lightly grease bottom of a large baking dish with canola oil or baking spray.
  2. In a large skillet, heat 2 Tablespoons olive oil over medium-high heat. When hot add garlic and ginger, sauté about 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  3. Add carrots, mung beans and slaw and stir fry till just tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in 1 to 2 tablespoons of dipping sauce and scallions. Remove from heat, drain liquid, set mixture aside to cool.
  4. Take one egg roll wrapper and place on a cutting board with one of the points facing toward you. Spoon 1 heaping tablespoon of the filling into the middle on a diagonal. Fold the bottom corner over the filling tightly. Then take the side corners and fold tightly from the side. Using your finger brush a bit of water on the remaining corner and roll the egg roll tightly. Place in a baking dish seam side down. Repeat until mixture is gone.
  5. Lightly brush egg rolls with canola oil. Bake, turning once halfway through, until browned and crisp about 20 to 25 minutes.
  6. Serve the rolls with the dipping sauce.
