Reuben Egg Rolls

Reuben Egg RollsUntil Silver Spring Foods reached out to me asking if I could create a recipe for them for National Horseradish Month I had no idea that the world’s largest grower and processor of horseradish was located right here in my home state of Wisconsin.

When I think of horseradish the first thing that always comes to mind is Reuben sandwiches made with homemade Russian dressing, so I immediately gravitated to doing some sort of take on a Reuben. I finally settled on Reuben Egg Rolls.

A lot of people that I know only eat Reuben Rolls on or around St. Patrick’s Day, but I am not one of those people…. For me they’re definitely a year round appetizer, or in this case when I’m working on a blog recipe and eat all 12 of them, an entire meal. The only actual downfall to Reuben Rolls for me is when people dip them in Thousand Island dressing rather than Russian dressing.

Normally when making homemade Russian dressing I combine Mayo, ketchup, horseradish, hot sauce, Worcester sauce and smoked paprika. I find that the bit of a kick that the Russian dressing has pairs so much better with the corned beef, Swiss cheese and sauerkraut in a Reuben than the slightly sweeter Thousand Island does.

Silver Spring Foods Horseradish

What I like about Silver Spring Foods is that they’ve developed a Zing Index to identify the different levels of Zing in each of their products. The index ranges from Z1 (the least amount of heat) to Z5 (the most amount of heat). It’s because of this Zing Index that I discovered that their Prepared Horseradish — which has a Zing Factor of three — is the perfect amount of heat for me when used to make homemade Russian dressing.

Plus, the different Zing Factors allow the hot sauce to be left out of the dressing recipe entirely since you can just swap out the different varieties of horseradish from Silver Spring Foods depending on the amount of Zing you want the dressing to have.

Do you like a lot of kick? If that’s the case then their Extra Hot Horseradish — with its Zing Factor of five — is probably for you. Looking for the minimal amount of heat? Give their Cranberry Horseradish — which has a Zing Factor of one — a try! Also available are a Beet Horseradish with a Zing Factor of two and a new Non-GMO Horseradish with a Zing Factor of four. There’s basically a horseradish type for everyone!

Reuben Egg Rolls

  • Heat oil in deep fryer or heavy skillet to 375°F.
  • Combine corned beef, Swiss cheese and sauerkraut in a bowl and mix until combined.
  • Lay out an egg roll wrapper with one of the edges pointing toward you.
  • Spoon approximately 1/4 cup of corned beef, Swiss cheese and sauerkraut mixture into the center of the egg roll wrapper and using your fingers wet all four edges. This will help the egg roll stay together after you roll it.
  • Next, take the corner that’s pointing toward you and fold it up over the filling, fold the left and right ends in and roll the egg roll up. Repeat for the remaining egg rolls.
  • Fry egg rolls in batches for 3 minutes or until golden brown.
