Vegetarian Baked Egg Rolls with Duck Sauce

 
Yields 16 egg rolls
 
Ingredients:
For the egg rolls:
  • 1/2 Napa cabbage, shredded (I used the food processor for both the cabbage and the carrots.)
  • 3 large carrots, shredded
  • 8 large crimini mushrooms, minced (I used both the caps and stems.)
  • 3 green onions, chopped (green and white parts)
  • 1 tsp. canola oil, plus a bit more for brushing on top of the egg rolls
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 tsp. grated fresh ginger
  • 1/3 c. soy sauce
  • 1 tsp. sesame oil
  • 1 package (16) wonton wrappers
For the duck sauce:
  • 1/2 c. water
  • 1/3 c. sugar
  • 1/2 c. mango jam
  • 1-1/2 tsp. cornstarch
  • 1 Tbsp. white vinegar
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
Directions:
  • Combine the cabbage, carrots, mushrooms and green onions in a bowl.
  • Heat the canola oil in a pan and saute the garlic and ginger in the hot oil. Add the vegetable mixture, soy sauce and sesame oil and saute for ~4 minutes until the moisture in the veggies is cooked out.
  • Remove the veggies from the pan and let cool.
  • Combine the ingredients for the duck sauce in a small saucepan and simmer for 5-10 minutes until it's thickened and smooth. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool (you want this to be at room temperature when it's served, not hot).
  • When the veggie mixture has cooled, assemble the egg rolls and set them aside on a baking sheet lined with a silicon mat. To assemble:
    • Put about 1 Tbsp. of the veggie mixture in the bottom corner of the square wonton wrapper.
    • Roll up the wonton wrapper, pinching it tightly as it's rolled, until the wrapper is in the shape of a triangle.
    • Fold the right and left sides of the triangle in so that it looks like an envelope.
    • Wet the edges, then roll up the wonton wrapper the rest of the way. The outer edge of the triangle should be face-down. Continue rolling the rest of the egg rolls until you've exhausted your supply of either wonton wrappers or filling (for me, the wonton wrappers went first).
  • Brush the tops of the egg rolls with canola oil, then bake at 425 degrees for 12 minutes. (Mine weren't quite brown enough after 12 minutes, so I broiled them for an additional 2 minutes.)
  • Serve immediately with the cooled duck sauce.
