Friday Food ~ Pork Egg Rolls

Who loves egg rolls?? My husband occasionally comes home to find me making eggs rolls, one of his favorite! It's always a special treat since they take a bit of time and after a full day at work and 2 small boys, quicker dinners is normally what I make.

 
Pork Egg Rolls
 

What you need:
  • 1 lb ground pork
  • 1/2 cup salad shrimp, chopped
  • oil for frying
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cabbage
  • 1-1 1/2 cups bean sprouts
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 5-6 TBS soy sauce
  • 2 tsp sugar
  • 1 pkg egg roll wrappers
  • sweet and sour sauce (for dipping)
How to:
  1. Cook pork until done and set aside.
  2. Fry cabbage for a few minutes in the oil.
  3. Add the shrimp, bean sprouts, garlic, soy sauce and sugar. Fry for a few minutes longer.
  4. Add cooked pork and cook for a few additional minutes.
  5. Remove from heat and but 1/3 cup pork mixture in each wrapper. Fold both sides in a roll up. When you get to the tip, moisten wrap corner before completely rolling closed.
  6. Fry egg rolls in 1" of oil until each side is golden brown.
There you have it! Do you have other egg rolls you like to make? We'd love to hear about them!
