Eggs - Make sure they're at room temperature.

Water - Use warm water.

Oil - I like to use olive oil.

FOR THE FILLING:

Oil - I use olive oil.

Ground beef - I recommend 90% lean ground beef. 

Cornstarch - Use cornstarch or arrowroot flour. This absorbs some of the liquid. 

Seasoning - Use garlic powder, ground black pepper, ground ginger and salt for the flavor.

Condiments - Sesame oil, soy sauce, wine vinegar and honey give these gluten-free egg rolls so much juicy flavor.

Cabbage and onion - Use shredded cabbage. Make sure the onion is cut finely for bursts of flavor.

EQUIPMENT NEEDED

Wok - You can use a wok or a heavy-based frying pan suitable for deep frying.

Rolling pin - Use a decent quality wooden rolling pin.

Sharp knife - I like to use a sharp knife to cut the wrappers.

HOW TO MAKE GLUTEN-FREE EGG ROLLS

FOR THE WRAPPER

1. Prepare a large mixing bowl. Mix all-purpose gluten-free flour blend, sweet rice flour, and
   sea salt. Make a hole in the dry mix, add the eggs, warm water, and olive oil using a fork or a spatula. Mix until it crumbles.
2. Using your hand, knead the dough until you can form a smooth dough ball. It will be a bit sticky. Cover with plastic wrap and rest for 30-60 minutes.
3. Put the dough on a large flat floured surface and divide it into 4 portions. Take 1 part of the dough and start to flatten it using a rolling pin. Sprinkle some flour on the top of the dough to make it easier to form it. The result should be very very thin until you can see through your finger when you pick it up. Cut the wrap into 7”x7” sizes. Cover with plastic wrap to avoid drying. 

FOR THE FILLING

1. Heat olive oil in a large wok over medium heat. Cook the ground beef for around 5 minutes until it's cooked. Break up the meat while cooking then drain any excess moisture from the wok.
2. Add onion then cook until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant.
3. Add cornstarch and garlic powder to the wok. Cook until incorporated and the starch is fully absorbed.
4. Add the sesame oil, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, honey, freshly ground black pepper, ginger, and salt.
5. Reduce the heat to low heat, add the shredded cabbage, and toss until it is wilted. Cover and simmer for 5 minutes.
6. Take it off the heat and let it rest for around 10 minutes.

HOW TO ASSEMBLE

1. Place a wrapper on a flat surface, 1 corner facing to. Put 2 tablespoons of filling in the middle down of the wrapper (around 1 inch from the corner). Fold the corner to the middle and continue with the right and left corners so it looks like an envelope.
2. Start rolling the wrapper from the bottom and moisten the end corner on the front with water to seal it. Make sure there is no air trapped in the egg roll.
3. Repeat these steps with other wrappers.

COOK THE GLUTEN-FREE EGG ROLLS

1. Deep fry the egg rolls until golden brown.
2. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce. I like sweet and sour sauce.
