Chinese Egg Rolls

These traditional Chinese egg rolls are a wonderful way to bring authentic takeaway flavours into your own kitchen. Often seen as a staple of Cantonese-style cuisine, these rolls feature a crisp, bubbly exterior that gives way to a savoury filling of prawns, char siu pork, and earthy shiitake mushrooms. The inclusion of fresh ginger and spring onions ensures every bite is aromatic and well-balanced, providing a satisfying crunch that makes them an ideal appetiser or party snack.

As a high-protein option, these rolls are surprisingly substantial thanks to the combination of fresh seafood and roasted pork. They are perfect for preparing ahead of a dinner party, as the filling can be made in advance and cooled to help the flavours develop. Serve them warm from the oven with a side of sharp Chinese mustard or a sweet chilli dipping sauce for a complete, professional-quality starter that is sure to impress your guests.

Stir together oyster sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil, sugar, and salt in a small bowl until sugar and salt are dissolved.

Heat a dry 12-inch heavy skillet (not nonstick) over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then add 2 tablespoons peanut oil, swirling skillet to coat. Stir-fry ginger, garlic, and spring onions until spring onions are wilted, about 1 minute. Add celery, carrots, and mushrooms and stir-fry until vegetables are softened, 4 to 6 minutes. Push vegetables toward edge of skillet, then add prawns to centre and stir-fry until prawns are just cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes. Add pork and oyster sauce mixture and stir together all ingredients in skillet until combined. Season with salt and transfer to a large shallow bowl. Cool, stirring occasionally, about 30 minutes.

Gently peel apart wrappers to separate if necessary (wrappers may not be perfectly square).

Put 1 wrapper on a work surface, arranging wrapper with a corner nearest you and keeping remaining wrappers covered with plastic wrap. Stir filling, then spread a scant 60ml filling horizontally across centre of wrapper to form a 4-inch log. Fold bottom corner over filling, then fold in side corners. Brush top corner with egg and roll up wrapper tightly to enclose filling, sealing roll closed with top corner. Transfer roll, seam side down, to a paper-towel-lined baking sheet and loosely cover with plastic wrap. Make more egg rolls in same manner, transferring to baking sheet as formed (you may have some filling left over).

Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 121°C. Line a large colander with paper towels. Heat 1 inch peanut oil in a 5- to 6-quart wide heavy pot until it registers 177°C on thermometer, then fry 4 or 5 egg rolls (don't crowd pot), turning with a slotted spoon, until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer with slotted spoon to colander and drain rolls upright 2 to 3 minutes, then keep warm on a rack set on a large baking sheet in oven. Fry remaining egg rolls in batches, transferring to colander and then to rack in oven.
