Pork Egg Rolls
My daughter suggested making egg rolls for dinner one night since she found a recipe for them in her kids cookbook. I love that she’s reading a cookbook. And of course, I’m the one that got it for her. 🙂 As my big girls have gotten older, it’s been so fun to have them help in the kitchen more.
To be honest, I was a bit intimidated by her egg roll idea because frying anything seems like such a big project. But, surprisingly, these came together quickly and didn’t make as much of a mess as I anticipated. The method I used is just a shallow pan fry, not deep frying. Plus, the end result was completely worth it. These were some of the best pork egg rolls I’ve ever eaten.
This was a fun recipe to make with my daughter. If you have an extra helper in the kitchen, they can fill and roll the egg rolls while you fry. It goes by a lot quicker if you have more hands on deck here. And for me, makes it less likely that I’ll burn them. 😉
Make sure you eat these while they’re hot and crispy, with soy sauce for dipping.
If you try this recipe, I’d love to hear about it here in the comments or on Instagram, using the hashtag #thehomecookbook!
