Directions
-
Skin, bone, and halve the chicken breast, then shred or dice the meat into small, bite-sized pieces.
-
Heat 1 tablespoon of cooking oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
-
Add the minced garlic and shredded chicken to the skillet; cook until the chicken is opaque and heated through, about 3-4 minutes.
-
Stir in the drained bean sprouts, chopped celery, soy sauce, cornstarch, and five-spice powder.
-
Toss the mixture until the vegetables are slightly wilted and the filling is well-coated; remove from heat and let cool completely.
-
Lay out the egg roll skins on a clean surface and place about 1/4 cup of the cooled filling near the bottom corner.
-
Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides and roll tightly to seal with a little water if needed.
-
Heat cooking oil for deep-frying in a heavy pot to 350&# 194;°F (175ðC).
-
Carefully lower the egg rolls into the hot oil in batches, frying until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per roll.
-
Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels before serving warm.
