Ingredients

• 14 oz extra-firm tofu
• 3 tbsp soy sauce
• 2 tbsp hoisin sauce
• 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
• 1 tsp ground ginger
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 2 cups green cabbage, shredded
• 1 cup carrots, shredded
• 3 green onions, finely chopped
• 0.25 cup cilantro, chopped
• 12 egg roll wrappers (vegan)
• 2 cups vegetable oil, for frying

Directions

Step 1

Drain the tofu and press it for about 15 minutes to remove excess moisture.

Step 2

Crumble the pressed tofu into a large bowl, then add soy sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, ground ginger, and garlic powder. Mix well to ensure the tofu is evenly coated with the sauces and spices.

Step 3

In a large skillet over medium heat, add a splash of vegetable oil. Once hot, add the tofu mixture. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tofu is browned and slightly crispy.

Step 4

Add the shredded cabbage and carrots to the skillet with the tofu. Sauté for another 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are slightly softened.

Step 5

Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the chopped green onions and cilantro. Let the filling cool for a few minutes.

Step 6

Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with one corner facing you, making a diamond shape. Place about 2 tablespoons of the filling near the center of the wrapper.

Step 7

Fold the bottom corner of the wrapper over the filling, followed by the sides. Roll it up tightly but gently, sealing the top corner with a little water to keep it closed.

Step 8

Repeat the rolling process with the remaining wrappers and filling.

Step 9

In a deep frying pan or a fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Carefully add the egg rolls, a few at a time, and fry for about 3-4 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy, turning occasionally.

Step 10

Once cooked, remove the egg rolls with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

Step 11

Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
