Ingredients
  

For the filling
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 16-ounce package tri-color coleslaw mix Use fresh coleslaw for crunch.
  • 3 pieces chicken breasts, cooked and shredded Make your own chicken for added flavor.
  • to taste Salt and pepper Season to your preference.
For assembly
  • 1 16-ounce package egg roll wrappers
  • as needed as needed vegetable oil for frying

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add the tri-color coleslaw mix into the skillet. Stir until it softens, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Toss in the shredded chicken. Season with salt and pepper and combine everything together for about 2-3 minutes.
  4. On a clean surface, arrange your egg roll wrappers with one corner facing you. Place about 2 tablespoons of filling near the corner.
  5. Fold the corner over the filling, tuck in the sides, and roll tightly. Use a dab of water to seal the edges.
Frying
  1. In a deep skillet, pour in vegetable oil to a height of about 2 inches and heat over medium-high heat.
  2. Carefully place a few egg rolls in the hot oil and fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.
  3. Transfer the fried egg rolls to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Serving
  1. Serve warm, ideally with a dipping sauce like sweet chili or soy sauce.

Notes

Use pre-cooked rotisserie chicken to save time. Do not overfill wrappers to avoid difficulty in sealing them. Spice up the filling with chili paste for extra kick.
