Chinese Take Out Again?

Hang up That Phone and Cook It at Home!

By Allison Huller McAlister

Pages:  1  2  3  4  

Ingredients:
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 pound lean, ground pork
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 onion, thinly sliced
3 cups prepackaged cole slaw blend
1 tablespoon soy sauce
15 eggroll wrappers
Salt
Pepper

Heat oil in skillet and saut矧arlic and onions until tender. Add pork and saut矵ntil browned. Add cabbage blend and cook until crisp-tender, about five to 10 minutes. Remove from heat. Season with soy sauce. Add salt and pepper to taste. Cool mixture.

To assemble eggrolls: Carefully separate eggroll wrappers. Lay one wrapper on clean surface. Place about 2 tablespoons of the filling near the edge closest to you. Roll edge toward the middle. Fold in both sides and continue rolling. Moisten opposite edge with water to seal. Repeat with other wrappers. Deep fry at 350 degrees F (I just use my FryDaddy) until golden brown, about three minutes on each side. Drain on paper towels.

Chinese Noodle Cookies
Recipes just don't get much easier than this one. Melt the chips, stir everything together and drop by teaspoonfuls onto a cookie sheet. Simple and quite yummy, too. Adults will love these no-bake chow mein noodle treats as much as the kids!
