My latest Project

I have had a craving for really good egg rolls lately and not the frozen kind you buy in a box at Walmart.  So, I decided it was time to see if I could attempt to make my own.  Since I have been meal planning lately we have been trying some more Chinese dishes.  And what Chinese dish is complete without a good egg roll?  Well, it turned out to not be as hard as I had always thought it would be, however my small project ended up turning into 80 egg rolls!  I followed a recipe that said it would make about 15 and I thought I should double that and make about 30.  Well, I guess my large size head of cabbage was bigger than the one in the recipe because I just kept filling egg roll wrappers one after another until I ended up with 80!  I had to break it up into two days worth because I had only bought 2 egg roll wrap packages (enough for 40) thinking that was all I would need.  So, another trip to Walmart and our freezer is now well stocked with plenty of egg rolls for our Chinese meals! 

Here are a few pictures of them…

The first 40 ready to fry.

In the frying pan and smelling good.

80 of them (minus a few that we “tested” ready to freeze!

It was a good project and I already know what I will change to the recipe next time.  Although, with 80 needing to be eaten, next time will be quite a while from now!
