Garlic Stir-fried Noodles Eggplant Rolls & Fried Dumplings
Quick Eggplant Rolls and Crispy Fried Dumplings Using Leftover Garlic Stir-fried Noodles
Hello everyone! This is the final recipe utilizing my garlic stir-fried noodles. Today, I’m bringing you two delicious creations: eggplant rolls and crispy fried dumplings! While I personally love the eggplant rolls, the fried dumplings are especially delightful. The crispy exterior gives way to a savory, slightly spicy filling made from the garlic stir-fried noodles, offering a unique charm distinct from kimchi dumplings. I’m making them again today!

Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First things first, this recipe relies on pre-cooked garlic stir-fried noodles! You can find the detailed instructions and review for making the garlic stir-fried noodles via my link. Likes and follows are always welcome! I added some chewy rice cakes to mine for an extra delightful texture!
Step 2
Let’s start with the eggplant rolls! We’ll be slicing the eggplant thinly. Using a peeler is much easier and creates more uniform slices than a knife, resulting in prettier rolls!
Step 3
Lightly brush the thinly sliced eggplant with sesame oil. Then, place the slices in a pan heated over low heat. Since the eggplant is sliced thinly, it won’t take long to cook. Just lightly pan-fry them.
Step 4
On each cooked eggplant slice, place one rice cake and a portion of the garlic stir-fried noodles. Then, carefully roll up the eggplant to form the rolls.
Step 5
Using the same pan you used for the eggplant, gently pan-fry the formed eggplant rolls again for a moment. This will enhance the eggplant’s flavor and help the ingredients meld together beautifully.
Step 6
Voila! Your delicious garlic stir-fried noodle eggplant rolls are ready! Did you know these pair exceptionally well with crispy fried dumplings? Let’s get started on making those dumplings!
Step 7
Making fried dumplings is incredibly simple! It can even be a fun activity to do with children. Place some garlic stir-fried noodles and a rice cake onto a dumpling wrapper. Moisten the edges of the wrapper with a little water, then fold it in half and pleat to create your dumpling shape.
Step 8
I made a total of 4 dumplings, which is a perfect serving size for one person. Aren’t they nicely shaped?
Step 9
Now, heat about 1 cup of cooking oil in a pot or deep pan. Fry the dumplings until they are golden brown and wonderfully crispy. The aroma will be absolutely irresistible!
Step 10
Your crispy fried dumplings are complete! The combination of the crunchy wrapper and the flavorful stir-fried noodle filling is simply divine. You absolutely must try this! Highly recommended!
Step 11
Finally, I’ve arranged the eggplant rolls and fried dumplings nicely on a plate for presentation. These two dishes are incredibly simple yet bursting with flavor and versatility. Why not give them a try? Enjoy your delicious meal!
