This past week was one FULL of cooking and baking (if you need any cake recipes or tips, I just might have them!!). I also made lots of bread (the recipe is posted here). I hosted bookclub at my house this month. Fun but a bit stressful. All in all, I had a hard time deciding on what recipe to post this week, but eventually decided on these Egg Rolls we had for dinner one night last week. I am hesitant to even post it because I am sure Dancing Queen has a good Korean egg roll recipe - if you do, leave us a recipe!! Anyway, here goes:
I initally found this recipe that sounded simple enough, but again (as always) wanted to make some changes. First of all, I wanted chicken, not shrimp, plus, I only had purple cabbage, so I figured I would give it a shot. So, this is how I made my version of Chicken Egg Rolls:
Chicken Egg Rolls
Oil
2 cloves garlic
1 inch grated ginger root (ginger root keeps forever in the freezer, so I always have it on hand - just chop off the amount you need, cut of the skin, and chop it up)
3 chicken breasts
salt & pepper
Honey
Soy Sauce
1 chopped carrot
1/2 head cabbage (I used purple, but I think any kind will work just fine!)
Dipping Sauce (from the original recipe)
Heat some oil, add the minced garlic & ginger. Add Chicken Breasts, salt & pepper, soy sauce, and honey. Cook until chicken is all the way done. Remove chicken, add carrot & cabbage. Chop Chicken and add back to pan. Cook on medium heat until cabbage wilts and cooks down a bit. Scoop on to egg roll wrappers, roll up (instructions for rolling are on the package). Fry in a little oil on each side. Serve with the dipping sauce. We had some rice and peas, and that was the meal. Vin was hesitant, but after forcing the first bite he loved it.
If anybody has a favorite egg roll recipe to share, or any favorite recipe from this past week - please share it with us!! I LOVE new recipes!!.
My dh's family does make some really good Korean eggrolls (we call them mondu). If I had a recipe I would send it. They just put it together without any measurements - probably a lot like you do Bubbles. If I can get a recipe together I will post it. This egg roll recipe looks good. The Korean eggrolls have beef in it so it would be nice to try a chicken eggroll.
ReplyDeleteI don't have any new recipes but I have just discovered that I really like Hawaiian haystacks. We tried the recipe from the March Friend last week and yum yum. I love easy, yummy recipes during the week. On the weekends we try the more difficult stuff (for me at least) when my dh is home.
Keep the recipes coming Bubbles, I really like them!
