Ingredients

4 servings

2 avocadosRipe avocados, diced
0.25 cupSun-dried tomatoes, chopped
2 tbspRed onion, finely diced
2 tbspFresh cilantro, chopped
1 tbspLime juice
0.5 tspSalt
8 wrappersSpring roll wrappers
1 eggEgg, beaten, for the seal
4 cupsVegetable oil for frying
2 tbspTamarind paste
2 tbspHoney
1 tbspSoy sauce
1 tbspRice vinegar
2 tbspCilantro for garnish

Instructions

Make the filling: gently fold avocado, sun-dried tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, lime juice, and salt in a bowl. Keep the avocado chunky.
Lay a spring roll wrapper on a clean surface. Place a heaping 2 tablespoons of filling near one corner.
Roll once away from you, fold in the sides, then roll the rest of the way. Brush the final edge with beaten egg to seal.
Repeat with the remaining wrappers. Refrigerate the rolls 15 minutes; they fry cleaner cold.
Heat oil to 350F. Fry the egg rolls in batches for 2 to 3 minutes per side until golden and crisp.
Whisk tamarind, honey, soy sauce, and rice vinegar for the dipping sauce.
Slice the egg rolls on a bias. Garnish with fresh cilantro. Serve with the dipping sauce.

Substitutions

Sun-dried tomatoes to Roasted red peppers. Less sweet; bigger flavor.
Spring roll wrappers to Egg roll wrappers. Thicker shell; longer fry time by 30 seconds.
Tamarind paste to Pomegranate molasses. Similar tang. Adjust honey down by half.

Pairs well with: A crisp white wine, Cucumber salad, A spicy soju cocktail

Pro tips

Keep the avocado chunky. A purée steams the wrapper from the inside.
Refrigerate the rolled egg rolls before frying. They hold their shape better.
Fry at 350F. Hotter and the wrapper burns; cooler and the wrapper goes greasy.
