Last week, I had a craving for egg rolls, but I didn’t want to go through the process of rolling and frying them. I thought, why not just make the inside portion and serve them over noodles or rice? With less prep work and lower calories, this was a win for me, plus it was better the next day as left overs. This recipe is not expensive to prepare and only uses one pot. The labor takes some time with chopping, but I used a food processor to save time.. With the current conditions of self quarantine, there’s more time for cooking, so enjoy the process in anyway you see fit. Some members of my family added hoisin sauce and/or Sriracha sauce to their bowls.
