In this article, I’ll be sharing my personal recipe for making Panda Express egg rolls at home. Trust me, once you try these homemade egg rolls, you won’t want to go back to the store-bought ones!

Interesting Facts About Panda Express Egg Roll Recipe

  • Panda Express was founded in 1983 in Glendale, California.
  • Their egg rolls are made with a blend of cabbage, carrots, celery, and onions, and are wrapped in a crispy wonton wrapper.
  • The egg rolls are deep-fried until golden brown and served with a sweet and sour dipping sauce.
  • Panda Express is the largest Chinese fast-food chain in the United States.
  • In 2019, Panda Express had over 2,200 locations in the United States, Puerto Rico, Guam, Canada, Mexico, Dubai, and South Korea.

Ingredients

  • 1 package of egg roll wrappers (usually found in the produce section of your grocery store)
  • 1/2 pound ground pork
  • 1/4 head of cabbage, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup shredded carrots
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • Vegetable oil for frying

Instructions

Follow these step-by-step instructions to make your own Panda Express egg rolls:

  1. In a large skillet, brown the ground pork over medium-high heat until fully cooked.
  2. Add the chopped cabbage, shredded carrots, and chopped green onions to the skillet and stir to combine.
  3. Add the soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, salt, and pepper to the skillet and stir to combine. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
  4. Remove the skillet from the heat and let the filling cool for a few minutes.
  5. Take an egg roll wrapper and place it on a clean surface with one corner facing you (like a diamond shape).
  6. Place about 2 tablespoons of filling in the center of the wrapper.
  7. Take the corner closest to you and fold it over the filling.
  8. Roll the wrapper up halfway, then fold the two sides towards the center.
  9. Brush the remaining corner with the beaten egg and continue rolling until the egg roll is sealed.
  10. Repeat with the remaining egg roll wrappers and filling.
  11. Heat vegetable oil in a large pot or deep fryer to 350°F.
  12. Carefully add the egg rolls to the hot oil and fry for 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
  13. Remove the egg rolls from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  14. Serve hot with sweet and sour dipping sauce.

Expert Tips

  • Make sure the filling is completely cooled before rolling the egg rolls to prevent the wrappers from tearing.
  • If you don’t have ground pork, you can use ground chicken, beef, or turkey instead.
  • Don’t overfill the egg rolls or they may burst during frying.
  • Use a deep fryer thermometer to ensure the oil stays at a consistent temperature.
  • For an extra crispy egg roll, double fry them by frying them once, letting them cool, and then frying them again.

Personal Experience

When I first tried the Panda Express egg rolls, I was blown away by how delicious they were. I knew I had to try making them at home, so I searched for recipes online and tried a few of them. Unfortunately, none of them tasted quite like the real thing. So, I decided to come up with my own recipe and after several attempts, I finally got it right! These egg rolls taste just like the ones from Panda Express and my family loves them. I love how easy they are to make and how crispy and flavorful they turn out. I hope you enjoy them too!

FAQs

1. Can I make these egg rolls ahead of time?

2. Can I bake these egg rolls instead of frying them?

Yes, you can use whatever dipping sauce you prefer. Some popular options are sweet chili sauce, hoisin sauce, or soy sauce.

4. Can I use a different type of meat?
