  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 tbsp chili crisp oil
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • ¼ cup dried cranberries, chopped
  • ¼ cup walnuts, chopped
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • 810 egg roll wrappers
  • Cooking oil, for frying
  • Sweet Thai Chili Sauce (optional):
  • ¼ cup granulated cane sugar

  • 3 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • ½ tsp crushed red pepper flakes
  • ¼ tsp paprika

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook ground beef for 4–5 minutes until browned.
  2. Add garlic, ginger, chili crisp oil, and honey. Sauté for 2 more minutes. Remove from heat and stir in cranberries, walnuts, and parsley.
  3. Spoon 2–3 tbsp of cooled filling into each egg roll wrapper. Wet edges with water, roll tightly, and seal.

  5. Optional Sauce: In a saucepan, combine sugar, honey, and water. Add vinegar, garlic, red pepper flakes, and paprika. Stir in flour slurry and simmer 8–10 minutes until thickened. Cool before serving.

Notes

  • Use ground turkey, lentils, or tofu for variation.
  • To bake: 400°F for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway.
  • Add hoisin or soy sauce for extra umami flavor.
  • Pairs well with stir-fried veggies, Asian slaw, or miso soup.
  • Adjust chili level to suit your heat preference.
