Egg Rolls

Baked Vegetable Egg Rolls

I love Asian food but I don't love Chinese takeout restaurants.  We haven't been able to find a good Chinese takeout restaurant and I don't think we'll ever find a healthy one.  I love egg rolls but the fried shell doesn't like me.  These egg rolls are loaded with fresh veggies and baked.  For a little bit more filling roll I think that adding a little cooked chicken or ground pork would be great.  I made these on a weeknight and as always, I don't have a lot of time.  I found pre-shredded carrots and cabbage at the grocery store which saved a bit of time.  I made two quick dipping sauces; a sweet chili and a soy dipping sauce.  The chili sauce is easy, mix up orange marmalade with sweet Thai chili sauce (add the chili sauce for you desired taste). For the soy dipping sauce:

1/4 cup red-wine vinegar
1/4 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon Asian sesame oil
1 scallion, thinly sliced
2 teaspoons grated peeled ginger root
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

About Little Murph

My love for cooking started when I could barely reach the countertops. My mom would get out all of the baking supplies and let me create. Needless to say, my cooking techniques have become a bit more sophisticated. I believe that I can recreate anything I see in a restaraunt or cookbook. For this reason, my husband has said that I have "ruined eating out for him". I also believe that anyone can cook a delicious meal at home, gourmet kitchen or not. I'm a working woman but I find that after a long day at work, my kitchen is my sanctuary and I'm never too tired to cook up something new. I get bored very easily so trying new things is always a must! I think that cooking has become such an important part of my life because I love making others happy and I'm able to do that through my food. Thank you to all of my family and friends for all of your love and support, especially my husband Shawn, you are the reasons why I cook!
