Food Friday-- Egg Rolls

I won't be home this Friday so I decided to go ahead and post my recipie today. These are fun for weekend food....and fun for kids to help too!

Here is what you will need:

1 package of egg roll wrapers (in produce section of wal-mart or supermarket)

1 package of coleslaw (by the prepackaged salad mixes)

2 cloves of garlic

1 medium onion cut into long thin slices

3 Tbs cup of soy sauce

2-3 porkchops

Tiger sauce (optional)

Vegetable Oil (or any oil that you want to use to fry them in)

Okay, the trick to these is keeping the wrappers from breaking! Keep them in the fridge until you are ready to start!

Cook your porkchops until cooked through. I flavor mine with a bit of salt, pepper, and garlic powder. When done chop them with a food processor of food chopper. Put it in a bowl after they are chopped. If you have the Tiger Sauce pour just enough to flavor the pork, you don't want it liquidly. Okay, now set the pork aside.

In a warm skillet press the garlic into the pan (using a garlic press if you have one, or finelly chop the garlic) add to the pan. Next, add the onion. Cook until onion is somewhat soft.

In a large pot add the coleslaw mix, onion mixture, soy sauce, and pork. Mix well. Cook on medium heat until the coleslaw mix is cooked down a little.....but dont let it get soggy! If there is any liquid in the bottom of the pan drain it out b/c it will make the wrappers break!

Now, warm up your oil in a Fry Daddy or a large pan ( I prefer the Fry Daddy).

Okay get out your wrappers! This is the time consuming part! Make sure you have a dry area to do this in, dont let your wrappers get wet or they will rip!

The best way for me to tell you to fold them is for you to look online b/c they have pictures....just google egg roll wrapping and it should pull up the instructions.

Take your wrapper and lay it flat. Add a large tablespoon of the mix. Fold up. Seal the outer edges with water or egg whites if you prefer. Just dip your fingers in a small bit of water or the egg and go around the edges with your fingers.

If you do happen to get a rip sometimes you can seal it by going over it with the egg or water.

Or just put another wrapper over it if the hole is too large.

After you get a few done stick them in the fridge/freezer b/c if they get too warm they will get doughy and fall apart!!

Once you have them all done begin cooking them. I put a few in at a time. Cook until dark golden brown.

I serve mine with various dipping sauces and fried rice. Enjoy!
