This is another time I mixed Cajun with Asian. I usually make a dozen before a game.

Ingredients
  • 1 cup finely shredded green cabbage
  • 1 carrot, shredded
  • 1/4 cup shredded celery root
  • 1/2 cup shredded red bell pepper
  • 1/2 cup shredded yellow bell pepper
  • 2 tablespoons very thinly sliced scallion
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon ginger spice
  • 1/2 teaspoon minced lime zest
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1/4 teaspoon finely chopped cilantro
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground coriander
  • Salt and white pepper to taste
  • Tabasco to taste
  • 1 pound crawfish tails
  • Egg roll wrappers
  • 1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon water
  • Vegetable or peanut oil for deep-frying

Directions
  1. Saute the cabbage, carrots, celery root, bell peppers and scallions in the olive oil for 1 to 2 minutes, or until just wilted. Remove from the heat and add the ginger, lime zest, garlic, cilantro, soy, coriander, salt, pepper, Tabasco and crawfish tails. Toss to mix well.
  2. Roll about 1 tablespoon of the mixture in a wrapper, sealing the edges with egg wash. (The rolls can be stored in the freezer at this point.) Fry in hot oil (around 375 degrees) until golden brown.
  3. I have found that equal parts Creole mustard and red pepper jelly makes a great sauce for dipping.

I might have a hard time finding the crawfish tails. Do you have a suggestion for a substitution? This recipe sounds facinating. I bet it lights up your taste buds. THX :)


You can add shrimp,or spicy sausage copped and rendered. If you don't cook the sausage they will be greasy.


You sold me with the crawfish tails! I miss home when I see recipes like this - in Washington we don't get these - or if we do - who knows how old they are!
Thanks for the recipe - will try it with shrimp!

I make a similar but simpler BBQ Pork Egg Roll and I think pork would work well with these ingredients too. Thanks for sharing. Peg
