Egg Rolls Ingredients
- Dipping Sauce: Elevate your egg rolls with a creamy Alabama White Sauce, featuring mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, and a blend of spices.
- Egg Roll Wrappers: Look for refrigerated egg roll wrappers in the grocery store. While wonton wrappers can be substituted, they are smaller and may require adjustments in filling quantity.
- Coleslaw: For optimal freshness and flavor, consider preparing homemade coleslaw using cabbage, carrots, and a tangy dressing.
- Cheese: Shredded Monterey Jack cheese adds a creamy texture and mild flavor to the egg rolls. Feel free to experiment with your favorite cheese variety.
Preparing Ahead of Time
While it’s best to assemble the egg rolls just before cooking, you can prepare the dipping sauce and coleslaw in advance. Store the Alabama White Sauce in the refrigerator for up to five days and the coleslaw for 3-5 days.
