Ingredients

Scale

Egg Rolls

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ lb cooked chicken breast, finely chopped or shredded
  • ½ cup bell pepper, diced (red or green)
  • ½ cup red onion, diced
  • 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ cup shredded pepper jack cheese
  • 8 egg roll wrappers
  • Small bowl of water (for sealing wrappers)
  • Vegetable oil, for frying

Voodoo Dipping Sauce

  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon hot sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Sauté Vegetables: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add diced bell peppers and red onion and sauté until soft and fragrant, about 4 to 5 minutes.
  2. Add Chicken and Spices: Stir in the finely chopped or shredded cooked chicken along with Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Cook while stirring until the chicken is heated through. Remove the skillet from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
  3. Melt Cheese: Incorporate the shredded pepper jack cheese into the warm filling mixture and stir until the cheese is melted and fully combined.
  4. Assemble Egg Rolls: Lay an egg roll wrapper with a corner pointing towards you. Spoon 2 to 3 tablespoons of the filling onto the center of the wrapper. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides tightly and roll up. Seal the edge of the wrapper by dipping your finger in water and running it along the edge. Repeat this process with remaining wrappers and filling.
  5. Fry Egg Rolls: Heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pot to 350°F (175°C). Carefully fry the egg rolls in batches for 2 to 3 minutes per side until they turn golden brown and crispy. Transfer cooked egg rolls to paper towels to drain excess oil.
  6. Make Voodoo Dipping Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, ketchup, hot sauce, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until smooth and well combined.
  7. Serve: Serve the hot egg rolls with the voodoo dipping sauce on the side for dipping. Enjoy immediately for best results.

Notes

  • You can substitute cooked chicken with cooked shrimp or tofu for variation.
  • Adjust the amount of hot sauce in the dipping sauce to control heat level.
  • Make sure oil temperature stays consistent to ensure crispy egg rolls without absorbing excess oil.
  • Egg roll wrappers can be found in the refrigerated section of many grocery stores or Asian markets.
  • Leftover filling can be refrigerated for up to 2 days, but it is best used fresh for wrapping.
