What's for Dinner?

I haven't made eggrolls in a while, and decided it was time.  One of the things I like about making them is that there are always enough left over to pop in the freezer.  There is nothing better than coming home after a long day at work and realizing that dinner is just a short time away.

Chop and sautee 8 shrimp and set them aside.

Chop and sautee 2 cloves of garlic and a knob of ginger adding, red cabbage, carrots, scallions, red peppers, edamame and cilantro.

Mix soy sauce, Chinese chile paste, rice vinegar, a little agave and some arrowroot (or cornstarch) to thicken it.  Put it in the mix and finished cooking by adding the shrimp.

Brush water on the edges of the eggroll wrappers, which will help seal them when you roll them.

Add a heaping tablespoon of the mix to cover the center of the wrapper.  Fold the left and right corners into the center, then take the bottom corner and fold in 3/4 of the way to the top.  Roll the wrapper all the way to the top corner.  Brush a little water on the folded edges to help seal them.  Let the eggrolls sit for about 20 minutes to let them dry and seal.

In a frying pan add about a tablespoon or two of olive oil, speading it as it heats up so that it covers the bottom of the pan.  On medium high heat, add the eggrolls and cook them until brown, turning them from side to side so they don't burn.

When they're cool, they can be frozen.  Before they're cool, though, you should definitely eat a few!

Next time I make them, I'll try to remember to measure ingredients. There are some things that I make that I don't measure, but go by taste.  So, my advice to you?  Go ahead – be adventurous – make eggrolls!!
