I Did It!! Eggrolls

I decided to try my hand at some easy eggrolls.  YAY!  They were scrumptious!
Everything I did was easy and no real recipe - I just winged it.  I will do again either this week or next.

How did I make them?  I used one of those cans of pulled pork that I bought.  I was a bit leery, but it was tasty.  Just out of the can it tasted like good pork.  I will keep more of it on the shelf - super easy for just me.
This just out of the can and drained.
I drained it and threw it in a bowl.  I then added about 1/3 of a package of that slaw mix you can buy in the produce section.  Shredded cabbage and carrots.  I didn't have any fresh cabbage and that was easy.
I drizzled with a little sesame oil (very little), soy sauce, and a bit of Teriyaki sauce.  Mixed it all up and then place in the vegetarian wraps that I got on clearance a couple weeks ago.  (I would have used any type) -  that is what I had.
                                                (Haven't used the fried rice seasoning yet)

I put a decent amount in each wrap and then folded it all up. (like wrapping a present & rolling it up).
Placed on a foil lined bake sheet sprayed with a bit of cooking spray.
Heated oven 400*.  Baked 12 minutes and then turned over and baked 12 more minutes.

This made six eggrolls.  Now I could have added a lot more slaw mix and made even more.

Let me tell you - these were super tasty!!!!!!!!!!  
They didn't need a thing added to them to eat.  They were plenty seasoned from the sauces and oil I added.

If you have home cooked pork that would work.  You could use cooked ground sausage, shredded chicken or ham - or NO meat.
I think the next batch I make might be meatless (or maybe chicken).
You could add about anything you want or have and any type of sauces that you like and have on hand.  This is a fun thing to make with whatever you have.

Doing these in the oven saves a lot of calories and they came out perfectly browned and crisp on the outside.

I hope this gives someone incentive to try something new.  Don't be afraid to step outside the box and try new things.  I will definitely be making again.
ENJOY!

    1. My first time. I liked doing them in the oven - less fat and calories. Next time I will make more and freeze some for later!

      ENJOY

  7. Oh my goodness these look delicious! I do like spring rolls, and I like that these are baked, not fried! Can I ask what brand of canned pulled pork you used?

    1. I used pork that I got at Kroger and was Kroger brand. I think it was $2 a can. I had never had it before and thought I would give it a try when I saw it. It was in the same area as canned chicken, tuna, etc.
      I hate making a mess frying things up and then it seems the grease just leaves an aroma I don't like in the kitchen.

      Baking them worked perfectly and they were tasty.

  8. I really want to try this recipe, Cheryl, it sounds easy and yummy. I don't want to even sauté anything anymore because of the grease spatters. One would think I've turned the burner on high heat. So oven works best for me. Thanks for the post! Have a good weekend, Cheryl.
