Ingredients

Scale

For the Avocado Egg Rolls

  • 2 ripe but firm avocados
  • 8 egg roll wrappers
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Vegetable oil, for frying

For the Tamarind Dip

  • 2 tablespoons tamarind paste
  • 1 tablespoon honey or brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons water (adjust as needed)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the avocado filling: Mash the ripe avocados in a bowl until smooth but still slightly chunky. Mix in finely chopped red onion, chopped cilantro, and a splash of fresh lime juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste, making sure the flavor is balanced and the avocado stays vibrant.
  2. Assemble the egg rolls: Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with one corner pointing toward you. Place a spoonful of the avocado mixture near the corner closest to you. Fold the corner over the filling, then fold in the two side corners, and roll tightly toward the opposite corner. Seal the edge with a little water to keep the roll secured during frying.
  3. Prepare the tamarind dip: In a small bowl, whisk together tamarind paste, honey (or brown sugar), soy sauce, and water until smooth. Adjust the sweetness or tanginess to your liking by adding more honey or tamarind paste as needed.
  4. Fry the egg rolls: Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan over medium heat (around 350°F or 175°C). Carefully fry the rolls in batches until golden brown and crispy on all sides, about 2 to 3 minutes per batch. Use a slotted spoon to transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  5. Serve: Plate the warm Avocado Egg Rolls with Tamarind Dip on the side for dipping. Garnish with extra cilantro or lime wedges if desired. Enjoy immediately for the best texture.

Notes

  • Use firm but ripe avocados to hold their shape and provide creamy texture.
  • Don’t overfill the wrappers to avoid bursting during frying.
  • Seal the edges well using water to prevent unraveling.
  • Maintain oil temperature around 350°F (175°C) for crispy, evenly cooked egg rolls.
  • For a lighter version, bake at 400°F for 12-15 minutes or air-fry for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway.
