Copycat recipe: Chesecake factory avocado egg rolls

Over the last few months I've been given a couple of recipes for avocado egg rolls similar to those at the Cheesecake Factory. I LOVE the egg rolls there. So I finally got the courage to try. I looked over the recipes. combined and adjusted, and here's what I've come up with. I brushed mine with with olive oil and baked mine the other day. I have to say I love them fried, but baked was not half bad. Make sure you roll them tightly. I folded the top and bottom corners in and pressed them down on the side, this made them easier to roll. Then I brushed the open corners with beaten egg and rolled from the side, wrapping tightly.

We made three times the recipe for a dozen egg rolls

Avocado egg rolls

1 Lg avocado or 2 small avocados peeled, pitted and diced.
TIP: Cut the avocado in half lengthwise- skin and all- going around the pit, not through it, and pop open. The pit will often come out, if not strike it firmly with a knife, to pull it out. Use a knife to slice lengthwise and crosswise through the avocado to the skin. Turn skin inside out and the meat will come loose and be nicely diced without the mess!
2 Tbsp sun dried tomatoes packed in oil, chopped
2 Tbsp finely chopped red onion
1/2 tsp cilantro, chopped
dash of salt
4 egg roll wrappers
1 beaten egg( don't multiply if you are multiplying the recipe)
oil for frying or for brushing on egg rolls before baking.

Stir together avocado, tomatoes, onion, cilantro and salt (Be careful not to mash the avocado, they should be chunky- not guacamole). Distribute filling evenly over egg roll wrappers- I like slightly to the side of center, it made it easier to roll up and tuck in edges. Fold top and bottom corners in and press the fold lines down on the sides-makes it easier to roll. brush egg wash on the remaining two edges then roll tightly from the side. Place seam side down on a plate.
To fry: fry in 375* oil for 3-4 minutes until golden brown. Drain on paper towels
To bake: Bake at 400* 16-20 minutes until golden brown. Serve immediately.

Tamarind Cashew Sauce: I Cheated!!!! I bought the sauce at Cheesecake Factory. However if you do not have a restaurant nearby, here is the recipe included with the ones I received. MUST HAVE SAUCE. It is what takes these egg rolls from good to fantastic!

1 tsp balsamic vinegar
1/2 tsp tamarind pulp

1/2 c chopped cashews
2/3 c fresh cilantro

2 green onions
1 Tbsp sugar
1 tsp ground pepper
1 tsp ground cumin
1/4 cup olive oil

Combine vinegars, honey, tamarind, and saffron in a microwave safe bowl and stir until combine completely. Microwave for 1 minute on full power.. In a blender combine tamarind mixture, turmeric, cashews, cilantro, garlic, onions, sugar, pepper and cumin. Puree. pour mixture into a bowl and stir in oil. Cove and refrigerate until ready to use.
