Yummy Homemade Egg Rolls

Homemade egg rolls

Earlier, I shared my recipe for how I make homemade egg roll wrappers, and that recipe can also be found right here on Newsbreak. Now it's time to make the filling and finish preparing the egg rolls.

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound of chicken breast, chopped and cooked

  • 3 teaspoons of minced garlic

  • 1/2 teaspoon of seasoning salt

  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

  • 1 cup of shredded coleslaw, mixed with or without carrots

  • 2-4 green onions, chopped

  • Canola oil for frying

  • 10-20 egg roll wrappers, depending on their shape and size (I am using 12 homemade egg roll wrappers that are about eight inches round).

  • 1 egg beaten for making an egg wash

Instructions:

In a skillet over medium heat, add the chopped chicken breast and garlic. Sprinkle it with seasoning salt and freshly ground black pepper. Cook until the chicken is completely done.


Now, add the coleslaw mix and green onions to the same skillet. Stir the mixture well. Cook until the slaw mix is tender. Turn the burner off and allow the mixture to sit for a few minutes.


Place a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add about three inches of canola oil. Allow the oil to get hot and bubbly.


In the meantime, prepare the egg rolls. Lay the egg roll wrappers on your countertop. Fill the centers of each one with a big spoonful of the chicken mixture. Fold the wrappers up over the filling. Use an egg wash to seal the inner edges of each one.


To fold the egg rolls, fold the top and bottom sides of the wrappers over the center of the 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. Repeat these steps until all of your egg rolls are made.


Fry the egg rolls in the hot oil for about three minutes, or until the outer part of the wraps is golden crisp. Use a big slotted spoon or a pair of kitchen tongs to take the egg rolls out of the oil. Drain them on a paper towel-lined plate.


Serve and enjoy!

Note:

I want to apologize in advance because, as I was making the egg rolls, I did take photos of each step, but when I set down to transfer them to my article, every one of them was blacked out or had lines going through them, which made them unusable. I was only able to save one by cropping some of the lines off the top of it.

I tried Martha Stewart's slow-cooker triple chocolate brownies recipe- this is how they turned out

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. Anyone who knows me knows that Martha has been my lifelong hero since I was a teenager. She's witty, beautiful, and exceptionally talented in so many various ways. Such as DIY home and land renovations to whipping up any tantalizing masterpiece in her kitchen.  Even though I have a multitude of recipes, I had never made  slow-cooker triple chocolate brownies  before. That's until I came across Martha Stewart's recipe for this delightfully delicious, gooey chocolate treat. I followed Martha's techniques and her recipe to the tee, and ooh-la-lah! Her slow-cooker triple chocolate brownies are sinfully exquisite. They are a chocolate lover's dream come true. Martha's slow-cooker brownie recipe takes 3-1/2 hours to bake. While some people may think that is too long to ...

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...
