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
- Whisk sauce ingredients together until well combined.
- Divide in half, and reserve half for dipping sauce.
Make the filling
- In a large nonstick frying pan, heat canola oil over medium heat.
- Cut steak bacon into thin strips and cook, moving occasionally, for 5-6 minutes- until bacon is crisp and takes on brown color.
- 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.
- 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.
- Add about ¼ cup of filling to each egg roll wrapper, and wrap according to package directions.
Air frying the egg rolls
- Heat about 2" of neutral oil in a heavy bottomed skillet, such as a 10" cast iron skillet.
- Heat the oil for 3-5 minutes on medium-high heat, until shimmering.
- Fry the egg rolls for 2-3 minutes a side, flipping once.
- 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
- Preheat the air fryer to 370 degrees.
- Spray egg rolls liberally on all sides with a neutral cooking spray, such as canola.
- Cook egg rolls for 3-4 minutes a side until crispy, checking on them every so often to ensure they are evenly browning.
