Equipment

  • cast iron skillet or heavy bottomed pan or, air fryer

Ingredients

Filling

  • 1 tablespoon canola oil (or other neutral oil)
  • 15 oz Angus steak bacon, sliced into thin strips 
  • 3 bunches scallions, thinly sliced 
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds 
  • 1 3 oz instant ramen packet (beef or chicken)

Mongolian Sauce

  • 2 tablespoon toasted sesame oil 
  • ½ cup low sodium soy sauce
  • ¾ cup dark brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoon peeled and finely grated fresh ginger
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced

Additional

  • 8 egg roll wrappers
  • Canola oil (or other neutral oil) for frying 
  • Cooking spray (if air frying)

Instructions

  • Make the sauce
    1. Whisk sauce ingredients together until well combined.
    2. Divide in half, and reserve half for dipping sauce.
    Make the filling
    1. In a large nonstick frying pan, heat canola oil over medium heat.
    2. Cut steak bacon into thin strips and cook, moving occasionally, for 5-6 minutes- until bacon is crisp and takes on brown color.
    3. Add ⅔ scallions (reserve ⅓ raw scallions for later) and Mongolian sauce and cook 7-8 minutes, until sauce thickens. Allow to cool slightly while you prepare the instant ramen packet according to package directions and drain.
    4. Add the cooked and drained ramen, beef and scallion mixture, toasted sesame seeds and reserved raw scallions to a large mixing bowl, and toss to combine.
    5. Add about ¼ cup of filling to each egg roll wrapper, and wrap according to package directions.
    Shallow/Deep frying the egg rolls
    1. Heat about 2" of neutral oil in a heavy bottomed skillet, such as a 10" cast iron skillet.
    2. Heat the oil for 3-5 minutes on medium-high heat, until shimmering.
    3. Fry the egg rolls for 2-3 minutes a side, flipping once.
    4. For best results, drain the egg rolls on a wire rack, rather than on paper towels to retain their crispy texture.
    Air frying the egg rolls
    1. Preheat the air fryer to 370 degrees.
    2. Spray egg rolls liberally on all sides with a neutral cooking spray, such as canola.
    3. Cook egg rolls for 3-4 minutes a side until crispy, checking on them every so often to ensure they are evenly browning.
