Crispy Corned Beef Egg Rolls filled with tender corned beef and shredded cabbage, fried until golden and served with creamy horseradish sauce. A perfect St. Patrick’s Day appetizer or leftover corned beef recipe.
Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a skillet. Add coleslaw mix and cook 2–3 minutes until slightly wilted. Cool completely and blot excess moisture.
In a large bowl, combine chopped corned beef, wilted coleslaw mix, green onions, and Dijon mustard. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Stir until evenly mixed.
Prepare the wrappers.
Lay one egg roll wrapper on a clean surface in a diamond shape. Keep remaining wrappers covered with a damp towel to prevent drying.
Fill and roll.
Spoon 2–3 tablespoons of filling into the center. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in both sides tightly. Roll upward and seal the top edge with a small amount of water.
Heat the oil.
In a deep skillet or Dutch oven, heat 2–3 inches of oil to 350°F. Use a thermometer to maintain consistent temperature.
Fry until golden.
Fry 3–4 egg rolls at a time. Cook for 3–4 minutes, turning occasionally, until deep golden brown and crisp.
Drain properly.
Transfer to a wire rack set over a baking sheet. This keeps them crisp.
Make the sauce.
Stir together horseradish, sour cream or mayonnaise, Dijon, and salt until smooth. Chill until ready to serve.
Notes
Lightly sauté and cool the cabbage before mixing to prevent excess moisture.
