Ingredients

Scale

Dipping Sauce

  • 4 teaspoons white vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
  • 1/2 cup honey (or maple syrup)
  • 1/4 teaspoon powdered saffron
  • 1/2 cup olive oil (more if needed)
  • 1/2 cup chopped cashews
  • 1 cup fresh cilantro
  • 2–4 cloves garlic (depending on desired garlickiness)
  • 2 green onions (chopped)
  • 1 tablespoon white granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin

Avocado Egg Rolls

  • 3 large avocados (peeled, pitted, and diced)
  • 8 tablespoons sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil (drained and chopped)
  • 3 tablespoons minced red onion
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro (chopped)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 package egg roll wrappers (at least 12 wrappers)
  • 1 egg (beaten, for sealing wrappers)
  • 1/2 cup olive oil (for frying, additional if needed)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Dipping Sauce Base: In a small microwave-safe bowl, stir together white vinegar, balsamic vinegar, saffron powder, and honey. Microwave on high for 1 minute, stirring once midway, then set aside to cool slightly.
  2. Blend Sauce Ingredients: Add chopped cashews, fresh cilantro, garlic cloves, green onions, granulated sugar, black pepper, cumin, and the honey-vinegar mixture into a blender. Puree until smooth and fully combined.
  3. Adjust Sauce Consistency: Pour the blended sauce into a bowl and stir well. Add more olive oil as needed to thin out the sauce to desired consistency.
  4. Chill Sauce: Cover and refrigerate the dipping sauce until ready to serve to allow flavors to meld.
  5. Prepare Avocado Filling: In a large bowl, gently mix diced avocados, chopped sun-dried tomatoes, minced red onion, chopped cilantro, and salt until combined without mashing the avocado too much.
  6. Assemble Egg Rolls: Lay one egg roll wrapper on a flat surface with a corner pointing towards you. Using a brush or your fingers, lightly brush beaten egg along the edges of the wrapper to help seal.
  7. Fill Egg Rolls: Place an even amount of the avocado filling in the center of the wrapper.
  8. Fold and Roll: Fold the bottom corner up over the filling about one-quarter way, then roll from side to side. Fold the top corner down over the roll and press edges firmly to seal completely.
  9. Repeat Assembly: Repeat the folding and filling process with the remaining egg roll wrappers and filling.
  10. Heat Oil for Frying: Pour enough olive oil into a deep pan to submerge the egg rolls (about 1-2 inches deep). Heat the oil over medium-high heat to 375°F (190°C).
  11. Deep Fry Egg Rolls: Carefully add the assembled egg rolls in batches to the hot oil. Fry for 3-4 minutes or until they turn golden brown and crispy on all sides.
  12. Drain Excess Oil: Remove fried egg rolls with a slotted spoon and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.
  13. Serve: Serve immediately with the prepared honey saffron dipping sauce for dipping.

Notes

  • Do not overfill the egg rolls to prevent bursting during frying.
  • You can substitute honey with maple syrup in the dipping sauce for a vegan option, but note that the egg wash will still contain egg.
  • If you prefer a milder garlic flavor, reduce the number of garlic cloves in the sauce accordingly.
  • Ensure oil temperature is steady at 375°F for optimal frying and crispiness.
  • Use fresh eggs if possible, to ensure proper sealing of the wrappers.
  • The dipping sauce tastes better if refrigerated for at least 30 minutes before serving.
