A couple weeks ago, I decided to use my KitchenAid Meat Grinder attachment to make some homemade pork sausage. I'd been wanting to make a few things with the sausage, but at the top of my list was making egg rolls. I am a huge fan of Asian cuisine, (Chinese and Japanese are my favorites- I can never eat enough sushi!), so I wanted to give these a try.
There are many recipes out there for egg rolls, but I tried to keep it simple and based the recipe I used on what I had. These are a lot easier than I thought they would be and don't require a lot of time. There are so many endless combinations to egg rolls from what meats you can use (pork, chicken, shrimp, etc) and veggies ( so many!) you can customize your own roll to your liking.
I decided to use the recipe on the back of the egg roll wrapper pack. The recipe that I used can be found HERE. Like I stated above, I had to tweak the recipe just a bit, but they turned out fantastic. I used all of the ingredients except the bean sprouts and I used Bok Choy instead of cabbage. I also added a handful of cilantro, chopping it, and a teaspoon of chili sauce for an added kick.The ones I actually cooked, (I froze the rest), I baked them. After tasting the result, next time I will fry them because they would much better fried than they did baked.
In my wok, over medium heat I cooked the ginger and pork. I used a drizzle of sesame and hot chili oil in the bottom. I cooked it until is was done.
I added all my veggies, except the cilantro and cooked them through, stirring them into the pork.
