| Baked Eggrolls and Stir Fried Vegetables |
Having recently been reading up on Chinese
cooking, I found it interesting that there was a small blurb written on egg
rolls in one the cookbooks I borrowed from the library. The book declared egg
rolls to be a bastardization of Chinese cuisine originating in North America . This seems like
a harsh statement for something so akin to spring rolls and that are delicious in
their own right.
Katie found this recipe for Baked Egg Rolls in the Best Recipes Ever cookbook the other week and she painstakingly rolled and assembled them and popped them in the oven. We both enjoyed the concept of these egg rolls but found them to be rather bland. We would suggest either adding some sort of sauce to the meat filling or using a pulled pork or Chinese BBQ pork as an alternative to the ground pork. They did have the desired crispiness that is offered from the traditional deep fried version and the water chestnuts gave the filling a nice crunch as well!
