Jeff Matthews Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 I saw your post in the Chinese restaurant thread. Eggrolls are very, very easy to make. Buy: Cooking oil for deep-frying (vegetable, peanut, canola, or whatever) 1 pound ground pork (this will be near ground beef in the store). 1 16 oz bag of pre-mixed cole slaw. Frozen egg roll wrappers (not all grocery stores have them, but they are easy to find in a big city) The cole slaw looks like this: The egg roll wrappers look like this: Directions Dump the cole slaw and uncooked pork into a mixing bowl. Add a generous amount of salt and pepper. Mix thoroughly. This is your filling. If you have a deep fryer, pre-heat it to 375 fahrenheit. If not, pre-heat enough oil in a small, deep sauce pan to permit you to fully submerge an egg roll while cooking. Put a thawed (but still cold) egg roll wrapper on the countertop, in front of you. The corner should face you, so that it is oriented like a diamond shape (not a square shape). Take a few tablespoons of filling and put it on the wrapper. Put it fairly close to the corner closest to you. Tuck the sides in over the filling. Roll it up. Dab a drop or 2 of water at the end (the far corner of the wrap) to seal the wrap to itself. Submerge the egg roll in the oil for about 2 or 3 minutes. Repeat. These things are delicious! Enjoy with some duck sauce. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason str Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Just had a long talk with Karsoncookie the other night about his egg roll recipe. Don't have it as of yet but am willing to try a few different versions to decipher witch one i like better or a combination of the different ones.

jason str Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Just for reference that Moo Moo song was written about some guy who got busted sneaking into Lincoln park zoo and nailing a cow and was caught brown handed. Careful, you might be insulting some Texans… I won't judge anybody and never been to Texas anyways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never been to Changs, though. My friend and I usually eat once a week at the Chinese buffet next to the Katy Mills Wal-Mart. It's pretty good.

We have had too many Chinese buffet's close down around here lately, one was very good but lasted only a month or two. Normally the buffet's don't have the best egg rolls but sure there are exceptions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He pointed us to a very popular restaurant at the corner of the big strip. Presidents have gone there to eat, according to all the memorabilia all over the walls. Based on that experience, I drew 2 conclusions: 1. Chicago's China Town is dwarfed by Houston's. 2. Chicago's Chinese food is "ok" / pretty good, but if that's their example of the best, we have Chicago beat in that department as well. I love Chicago, though. Downtown is much cooler than ours. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When i go downtown i eat at Carson's ribs, they have the best cole slaw i ever had. I get the BBQ pork chops with all the fixins. Can't remember ever going to Chicago's China town.

We are a bit more upscale than you think. We have a place for industry, however. It's a complete mix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtimer Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 (edited) We have our own blues and jazz clubs too. Where do you think SRV came from? Johnny Guitar Watson as well, among many others. Edited January 24, 2016 by oldtimer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indiana still believes in prohibition, we can't buy beer or liquor on Sundays That law is currently being overturned, hopefully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
