Delicious Cabbage, Pork, and Crab Egg Rolls

Cabbage, pork, and crab egg rolls

Today I am working on putting up several heads of cabbage, and it just seemed logical to use some of it to make homemade egg rolls. Generally, when I make this recipe, I use two carrots, but today I didn't since I was fresh out of them. And you know what? My recipe turned out delicious even without having shredded carrots in the filling.

Ingredients:

  • 2 tablespoons of canola oil for the skillet or wok

  • 3 tablespoons of minced garlic

  • 2 tablespoons of onion powder

  • 1 teaspoon of ginger

  • 1 teaspoon of red pepper flakes

  • 1/2 teaspoon of seasoning salt

  • 1 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper

  • 1 to 2 cups of shredded cabbage (I am using a mixture of red and white cabbage).

  • 1/2 cup to 1 cup of crab meat or imitation crab meat (the amount depends on how much cabbage you decide to use)

  • 1/2 cup to 1 cup of chopped pork; you can also use beef, chicken, turkey, duck, or venison (the amount depends on how much cabbage you decide to use).

  • 2 large eggs

  • 2 teaspoons of soy sauce or more, depending on your preference

  • Egg roll wrappers (I made them homemade, and you can find my recipe right here on Newsbreak to learn how I make them.)


Instructions:

In a skillet, pre-cook whatever meat you prefer to use. Then finely chop it up. Set aside. (Today I am using grilled pork loin, which I finely chopped once it was finished cooking.)


In a large skillet or wok, add 2 tablespoons of canola oil. Allow the oil to get hot. Then add 2 large eggs, 3 tablespoons of minced garlic, 2 tablespoons of onion powder, 1 teaspoon of ginger, 1 teaspoon of red pepper flakes, 1/2 teaspoon of seasoning salt, and 1 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper, and stir well and continuously.


Once the seasoned egg mixture is cooked, add the precooked meat to the pan and continue to stir.


Add the prepared cabbage and sauté until the cabbage begins to wilt.



Now, add a couple of teaspoons of soy sauce and 1/2 cup to 1 cup of crab meat or imitation crab meat; stir well. Finish cooking for about four to five minutes.


Remove your stir-fry from the burner. Then stuff your egg roll wrappers with the prepared mixture.


Fold the top and bottom sides of the wrappers over the center of the stir-fry filling just like you'd wrap a burrito, then fold one of the sides over the center.


Tuck the dough tightly around the filling, then roll the wrapper to enclose the filling entirely. Pinch the seam sides of the dough. Repeat these steps until all of your egg rolls are prepared.



In a large pan or Dutch oven, add enough canola oil to fry your egg rolls. Allow the oil to get super hot. Then lower the egg rolls in the hot oil and fry them for about three minutes, or until they become golden crisp. (I fry mine in batches of about three at a time.)


Use a pair of long kitchen tongs to take the egg rolls out of the oil. Then place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain off the excess oil.


Serve your egg rolls and enjoy!

I tried Martha Stewart's slow-cooker triple chocolate brownies recipe- this is how they turned out There's one lady on this earth (besides mom) that I have always simply adored; Martha Stewart.

American pokeweed

American pokeweed  American pokeweed is a perennial, and it's commonly known as a survivalist plant. The plant is often referred to as poke salad, poke sallet, pokeweed, poke, among a few others. During the first days of spring, purplish shoots of pokeweed emerge from the soil. The plant will often pop up as a volunteer, and depending on the location, pokeweed can grow anywhere from 6 feet to 20 feet tall. The stalks and stems of pokeweed are an attractive purplish plum color. The leaves are a beautiful green color, and they can grow as big as 14 inches long by 7 to 8 inches wide. The plant's leaves will be tapered at each end. By summer, pokeweed begins producing long clusters of green and white flowers. The flowers turn into green berries that then transition from a light pink to a dark plum color. Pokeweed grows flowers and berries often at the same time and will continue to grow until the first frost. I have never pulled a pokeweed plant up from its roots, but I...

Vegetables that contain protein

Vegetables that contain protein If food prices have you scrambling down the aisles of the grocery store trying to find something that's more affordable than meat but still has protein, know that you're not alone! Back in the days when my grandparents went through the Great Depression, it was really tough times, but they survived through the hardships by growing their own food. There are a lot of veggies that actually do contain protein, and they're packed full of additional nutrients that our bodies all need. Vegetables highest in protein: Vegetables high in protein include artichokes, asparagus, beans, bean sprouts, and beans in general: broccoli, Brussel sprouts, chickpeas, green peas, kale, mushrooms, mustard greens, spinach, sweet corn, and turnip greens. For a few examples: Black beans contain 15 grams of protein in just a 1-cup serving. In fact, a 1/2 cup of cooked beans provides close to 7 grams of protein, which is the same as eating one ounce of meat. As for collar...
