      @sasquatchrosefarts9131 11 місяців тому

      1. Kosher salt is garbage and tastes like garbage. 2. You absolutely don't need full submersion of the egg roll in hot oil. A half inch in a pan is fine. Taquitos get crispy and aren't made in real Mexican women's homes in deep fryers. They pan fry them. With a puddle of oil. Not a pool.

  • @randmayfield5695

    Coming from someone who has had lots of experience making egg rolls I have to say that this is a very good instructional because of the attention to detail with clear easy to follow visuals. The only thing that I do differently is use 325 degrees F instead of 350F. It takes a secobds more but you have better control over the browning process. At 350F the skins can get dark fast and overcook. Again, great video! Thanks.

    • @cut--
      @cut-- 11 місяців тому +3

      I thought 350 was low compared to deep frying most things at ~370. You can see how they are softly bubbling compared to the usual rolling boil of something like fries or battered fish. Good eye!

    • @hotpinkjalapenos
      @hotpinkjalapenos 11 місяців тому +3

      Yes I agree little brown to fast and even as I cook in my oven I have to use 325 because it's not calibrated right 375° oil seems very hot to fast for browning egg rolls

    • @Yyz1971
      @Yyz1971 10 місяців тому +14

      @@cut-- in my restaraunt, we never set the temp past 335-350. The oil breaks down too fast at temps higher than that.

      @Hollandsemum2 3 місяці тому +1

      The highest I've ever seen recommended for deep fat frying is 360, and if I'm not fast enough things burn (I make traditional, deep fried, Dutch holiday treats), so I can't imagine using 375 as it destroys doughs well before the inside is adequately cooked.
      Note that dough is different than directly deep fried veg like French Fries. Which makes me wonder what temperature tempura is fried at. Anyone know offhand?

    I once made egg rolls and they were the best egg rolls I've ever had. Sadly, they took so much work (at least for a first-timer) that I chose never to make them again. Instead, I will spend my life strictly reminiscing about the unbelievable flavor. I went whole-hog by making Char Sui, and I used carrots, nappa cabbage, green onions and bean sprouts. OMG!

      When I was younger, the main veggie used was bean sprouts. I was surprised and disappointed when I started getting egg rolls with mostly cabbage. It’s not that I hate cabbage, it’s just liked bean sprouts much better. And yes tiny shrimp were used. It seems like cabbage was being used because it was so much cheaper.

      Yes, and damned Chinese restaurants are getting so cheap now. They have no core center to it. It's just more outside and a tiny bit of stuff inside. Like less than inch in diameter.
      And, they're not freaking spring rolls. Egg rolls are now the size of spring rolls -- if you know what I mean.

    And just when I think I will have nothing to make this weekend, you come out with another fantastic cooking video. The family is loving it all and cannot thank you enough for the time and energy you spend on making these very informative cooking videos. We are curious though, if you are planning on pursuing creating the best-ever tasting mall bourbon chicken video as it seems all other videos out there in it somehow miss the mark.

    It’s the msg in the hoisin, oyster, and chicken powder that’s creating the magic. The non-msg chicken powder just uses an off shoot of msg, usually disodium glutamate/hydrolized wheat/coconut/vegetable protein - which is basically the lauded, soy sauce, health food alternative Bragg’s Liquid Aminos or Coconut Aminos. If u grew up eating ranch dressing, lay’s potato chips, and even modern Chick FIl A - uve consumed msg.

      Sometimes the "secret ingredient" is that the people who do it right work really really hard and have lots of experience. At the very least, I'm not gonna complain that the good Chinese place charges $4 per egg roll anymore. They're earning it and more.

    Love your recipes and dedication Jason! Ever been to New England? I've been trying to replicate their egg rolls for years. Particularly most Chinese restaurants in RI/Mass, especially those that have been around for 40-50+ years, all have 1.) A distinctly different flavor from everywhere else in the country -- there's a LOT of celery in them (along with Char Siu). 2.) The "duck sauce" in this region is also unique and AMAZING. It's very dark and sweet. I swear the base is apple sauce, but no one will give up the recipe. You cannot buy it in a store.

      New Englander here. Several years ago, an older gentleman revealed to me that apple sauce is indeed the base for "the best" duck sauce. He said that soy sauce is also added but wouldn't reveal anything else. I met him at a Chinese restaurant that's 30+ years old and I suspect the man had been a chef in his younger years. He knew a lot about cooking. Sadly, I met him once and then never saw him again.

    Would love to see a video about making edd drop soup, making it like the chinese restaurant is a more difficult than I expected when I first tried to make it. I couldn't get those nice egg petals, and would just end up with a bunch of shredded egg in broth. It tasted good, but there are definitely some secrets to making it like they do at your local takeout.

    Ing-credibles, (Chinese takeout restaurant close to me) been eating there 45+ years, uses cinnamon as well in their recipe with tiny shrimp inside. They are sheer perfection egg rolls, best I've ever eaten. I buy them by the dozen and make them my dinners main event. The tiny duck sauce packets I ignore and use their homemade red sweet and sour sauce... Its a beautiful thing. 😢 The cinnamon (Probably Chinese five spice) makes them epic, never had better.

      The salad spinner's problem is that it only gets the water off the surface. You need to have some sort of pressure to squeeze out the moisture as much as possible. But a salad spinner is definitely better than doing nothing!

    When it comes to freezing the egg rolls, they crack because the filling is somewhat wet and expands once the outside shell is frozen. The shell will freeze first then when the filling freezes it expands and cracks the wrapper. The best way to overcome this is to par fry the eggrolls at a lower temperature for a shorter period. Try 300-325 just for a few minutes until the surface bubbles and the wrapper cooks. the wrapper at this point should be light brown at which point you take them out of the fryer and let them cool. Freeze them IQF on some parchment paper. After they freeze wrap them individually or in pairs in plastic wrap and then bag in a freezer bag. This will help them to not dry and get freezer burned. Same goes for using the spring roll wrappers as they will crack in the same manner. Its all about cooking the wrapper first then freezing. Another trick I used when freezing potstickers is to put them in the cooler overnight after making them. Get them as cold as possible in the fridge like near the back where other stuff may almost freeze. Get the filling so cold the whole thing is near frozen or super cold. Put them in the freezer for 10 minutes on a timer. Take them into the cooler for 10 minutes then back in then out then in 10 minutes to let the temp equalize in the middle until they are frozen. Temperature management baby!!!

    My mom's eggrolls are nice, but always a bit soggy. She cooks the bejesus out of the filling and drains it, but it's practically mush. Plus, she uses Nappa Cabbage, which is quite tender to begin with compared to standard green cabbage. I like the stronger flavor of Nappa Cabbage, so I might try this recipe with that, maybe not blanch it as long first.
