Ingredients

Scale

For the Avocado Filling

  • 2 ripe avocados
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • Pinch of salt

For the Egg Rolls

  • 8–10 egg roll wrappers
  • Vegetable oil, for frying or brushing

For the Tamarind Dip

  • 2 tablespoons tamarind paste
  • 1 tablespoon honey or agave syrup
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Avocado Filling: Begin by mashing ripe avocados in a bowl, then mix in fresh cilantro, lime juice, red pepper flakes, and a pinch of salt. Make sure the mixture is creamy but still chunky enough to hold texture.
  2. Assemble the Egg Rolls: Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface and place 2-3 tablespoons of avocado filling near one corner. Fold in the sides, then roll tightly toward the opposite corner, sealing the edges with a dab of water.
  3. Make the Tamarind Dip: In a small bowl, combine tamarind paste, honey (or agave), minced garlic, grated ginger, and soy sauce. Adjust the proportions to balance sweet, sour, and savory notes perfectly.
  4. Cook the Egg Rolls: Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan over medium-high heat. Fry the egg rolls in batches until golden and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side. Alternatively, brush them with oil and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 15 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  5. Serve Warm: Serve your crispy Avocado Egg Rolls with Tamarind Dip immediately to enjoy the perfect crunch paired with tangy dipping sauce.

Notes

  • Use ripe avocados: Soft but not overly mushy avocados ensure the filling holds together well.
  • Seal well: Use water or egg wash to keep the egg rolls tightly sealed while frying to prevent filling leakage.
  • Control oil temperature: Maintain medium-high heat so rolls crisp quickly without absorbing excess oil.
  • Batch fry: Fry a few at a time without overcrowding the pan for even cooking and consistent crunch.
  • Adjust dip flavors: Taste the tamarind dip and tweak sweetness or tanginess to suit your palate.
