Pork Egg Rolls

By Addie

Coleslaw mix hurries along the preparation of these deep-fried egg rolls served with sweet-and-sour sauce. "These elegant appetizers are as easy to make as they are to eat," assures Lucille Gendron of Pelham, New Hampshire.

Ingredients

• 1/2 pound ground pork
• 2 cups coleslaw mix
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/4 teaspoon onion salt
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 10 egg roll wrappers
• Oil for deep-fat frying
• Sweet-and-sour sauce
• Optional: green onion

Preparation

Step 1

In a large skillet, cook pork over medium heat until no longer pink; drain. Stir in the coleslaw mix, soy sauce, ginger, onion salt and garlic powder. Place 1/4 cup in the center of each egg roll wrapper. Fold bottom corner over filling; fold sides toward center. Moisten remaining corner of wrapper with water; roll up tightly to seal. Repeat.


In an electric skillet or deep-fat fryer, heat oil to 375°. Fry egg rolls, a few at a time, for 3-4 minutes or until golden brown, turning often. Drain on paper towels. Serve with sweet-and-sour sauce. Yield: 10 egg rolls.

REVIEWS:

These were so easy to make. I cooked the pork ahead of time and froze it. It only take a minute or two to thaw, so I had these made and ready to cook in less than 5 minutes. I am not a big fan of the pork so next time I will make with hamburger. I would definitely think you could freeze them before you cook them since all the ingredients are safe to freeze anyway.

I wonder if you could make these up, freeze them and then when you were ready take them out and fry them or even fry first then freeze and re-heat? 10 is just to many for my family of 2 but it would be nice to have them around for a quick side with an Asian-style meal.

YUMMY is the best way to describe these!!! I made them as the main entrée for dinner tonight. I'd always heard that egg rolls are difficult to make, but these were very easy. I fried them in a Fry Daddy. I also like how versatile they are - you can easily substitute different meats for the pork like shrimp or chicken, or simply use more coleslaw mix and cooked egg to make a veggie egg roll. MMMMMM!
