The origins of the Big Mac Egg Roll can be traced back to the innovative minds of food enthusiasts and chefs looking to put a creative spin on classic recipes. While the exact inception of this dish remains unclear, it likely emerged as part of the broader trend of fusion cuisine, which seeks to blend elements from different culinary traditions to create exciting new flavors.
The Big Mac, introduced by McDonald's in 1967, quickly became one of the world's most iconic fast-food sandwiches, renowned for its distinctive taste and special sauce. Inspired by the popularity of the Big Mac and the versatility of egg rolls, chefs began experimenting with combining the two, giving rise to the Big Mac Egg Roll. Since then, this inventive dish has gained a dedicated following among food enthusiasts and has been featured in various restaurants and food festivals.
Ingredients:
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup diced dill pickles
- 1/4 cup diced onion
- 1/4 cup thousand island dressing or special sauce
- 12 egg roll wrappers
- Vegetable oil for frying
- Salt and pepper to taste
Procedure:
1. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned and fully cooked. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Once cooked, remove excess grease from the skillet.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked ground beef, shredded lettuce, shredded cheddar cheese, diced pickles, diced onion, and thousand island dressing or special sauce. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
3. Place an egg roll wrapper on a clean, flat surface with one corner pointing towards you. Spoon about 2-3 tablespoons of the filling onto the center of the wrapper.
4. Fold the bottom corner of the wrapper over the filling, then fold the sides towards the center, forming a tight cylinder. Moisten the top corner of the wrapper with water to seal the egg roll.
5. Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large skillet to 350°F (175°C). Carefully place the prepared egg rolls into the hot oil, seam side down, and fry in batches for 3-4 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
6. Once cooked, remove the egg rolls from the oil and drain on a paper towel-lined plate to remove excess oil.
7. Serve the Big Mac Egg Rolls hot with additional thousand island dressing or special sauce for dipping.
