Egg Rolls on the Egg

Mattman3969 · March 2015

After reading @DMW post on cooking egg rolls for his friends I got the hankering for some egg rolls that needed to be fixed.

Took some chicken breast and gave them a good deep score and marinated them in some Thai peanut sauce, soy sauce and hoisin sauce for a couple of hours. Cooked them at 500° raised direct on the small

While that was going on I prepped the filling for the rolls which consisted of green onions,garlic,ginger,red pepper,water chestnuts,bean sprouts,the chopped chicken and a premade Asian salad.

Once the chicken was done I let the small get ripping hot so I could wok up the filling

Then I let everything cool for a bit before rolling up the rolls

Then onto the the large that is set up at 475-500 with the pizza stone raised about 2" above felt line.

And plated with a sweet & sour and an Asian dipping sauce with a side of salted edamame

We we had a few wrappers left over so we decided to make some Apple Pie Egg Rolls for dessert

You can prolly tell that I'm glad to be back with my eggs after 1 week away but this was a really fun cook. Thanks for looking.

Nice, I need to try the Apple pie egg rolls, great idea! That would be great to do at a fest, slice them into quarters for sample size.

Really nice Matt. The apple pie rolls were a stroke of genius.

That looks awesome minus the edamame. Not a fan, but this egg rolls look great and better for you then frying them.

That's a freaking great looking cook. Nicely Done @Mattman3969 . How often did you flip them once you got them wrapped and on the Large?

Mattman3969 · March 2015

They cooked for 20mins total and I flipped them at about 1/2 way

Looks great. I will have to try those sometime.

I have to learn how to eat with chop sticks now. ...those look delicious.

Mattman3969 · March 2015

No chop sticks needed for this one!!! That's a good thing cause I'd still be hungry.

Were they crispy? I've only fried them. Started to do them at salado but between fetching @caliking beer and keeping @travisstrick straight my time was limited.

Mattman3969 · March 2015

They were crispy and crunchy. They were more flaky than a fried egg roll.

Awesome

Great job Matt!

Nice to see a lot of meat used, there isn't a Chinese place on earth that uses enough meat in theirs, am I right?

caliking · March 2015

Great cook! We don't cook egg rolls because we aren't into deep fried foods, but these look fantastic. Bookmarked.

@caliking. ..doorknob rustling?

noregard · March 2015

those look great. thanks for the ideas! I have almost zero creativity, but might eventually build up the courage to try and copy something like this.

I guess one big advantage to not deep-frying your eggrolls, is you don't have to worry about folding them perfectly and making sure they are sealed to keep the oil from going inside.
