About

If ever there was a truly substantial egg roll, this is it. Chicken, shrimp, and a heap of vegetables make these rolls lovely and thick. The proportions here are perfect—the way egg rolls should be—lots of fresh filling with a little crunch of the thin wrapping in each bite.

Ingredients

Duck Mustard

2 tablespoons mustard powder
1 cup apricot jam
2

Method

To make the mustard: Mix the mustard powder with 1 tablespoon water in a small bowl to make a smooth paste; let sit for 10 minutes. Reserve.
Meanwhile, put the jam, vinegar, nam pla, and ginger in a food processor or blender and process until smooth, scraping down the sides as necessary. Mix in the mustard paste and season to taste with salt.
