Tips and Tidbits For Nice ‘n Easy Egg Rolls

I saw a great tip on the Rachael Ray Show on how to “bake fry” foods.

Preheat about 1/4 cup of oil on the cooking sheet you will be baking the egg rolls in. When you are ready to bake the egg rolls take hot sheet pan out of the oven: roll them through the hot oil and bake as directed.

(The oil should sizzle when the egg roll is dredged through.) BE CAREFUL!!! REMEMBER PAN WILL BE HOT!!!! The egg rolls come out crispy and delicious!

If you use cooking spray instead of oil to stir fry the ingredients, it tastes better and really cuts down on calories.

Use the packaged coleslaw mix instead of regular cabbage and then make the rest as stated. Much less prep work.

Great as a side to Easy Fried Rice.
