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!

Friday Food ~ Spinach Lasagna Roll-ups

Like spinach? We do! This recipe is perfectly yummy, and though its a little bit annoying assembling these little things, they are well worth the effort!

Spinach Lasagna Roll-ups

 

 



 

What you'll need:

• 4-8oz cream cheese (Depending on how creamy you want it)
• 10oz chopped frozen spinach, thawed
• 1 1/4 cup mozzarella cheese
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 9-12 lasagna noodles
• 1 can spaghetti sauce

 

How to:

1. Preheat over to 375 degrees.
2. Cook lasagna noodles according to package.
3. Soften cream cheese.
4. Squeeze as much water from the spinach as possible.
5. Mix cheeses and spinach.
6. Working one noodle at a time, spread a thin layer of cheese mixture on noodles after patting dry with a paper towel. TIP: don't bother with utensils! Just use your fingers!
7. Roll noodle tightly and place seam side down in a 9x13 baking pan.
8. When all are made up, top with sauce. TIP: covering as much of the noodle with sauce will eliminate the noodle to become hard when cooking.
9. Bake for 20-30 minutes.
10. Top with Parmesan cheese (or any cheese of your preference.)

 

Years and years ago, someone made a spinach lasagna and I have been on the search for that exact recipe! If you have a normal, meatless spinach lasagna recipe, I would love to try it out! But until then, I'll stick with these lovely roll-ups!
