Very Veggie Egg Rolls |
I adore egg rolls, and while I usually prefer the pork or shrimp kind, these all-vegetable version are just as satisfying - maybe even more-so knowing that there's no meat in them at all.
You can do the presentation like I've done here, by blanching julienned veggies and stacking before rolling, or do it the easy way by following this recipe.

I love the veggie version!! They look fantastic!
ReplyDeleteStupid question of the day: Where does a person buy eggroll wrappers?
ReplyDeleteThose look/sound delicious, Anne!
Katiepooh - I find mine in the produce section of our store. Wegmans has them in the freezer and some other stores keep them in whatever ethnic section they might have. Hope that helps!
ReplyDeleteMaria - thank you!
I love making eggrolls! They freeze well too, so I always make a big batch for reheating later on... YUM. These look fabulous.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to try these!
ReplyDeleteOH those look sooo good!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Anniepooh!
ReplyDeleteWe don't have a Wegman's here on the west coast, but I will check out the "ethnic section" and see if that's where eggroll wrappers are hiding.
I love the idea of making a bunch & freezing them for later, too. Yippee ~ something new for the family to try! :-)
I too love me some egg rolls. Putting this recipe in my "recipes" bookmark file.
ReplyDeleteThese look delicious and I know my kids would love them. I might add a little cooked chicken when I make them.
ReplyDeleteI recently found your website, and I love it. I'm in California but spent 3 years in Orefield near Allentown and love and miss the Lehigh Valley.
Thanks for the recipes!
These look great, Anne! Thanks for sharing the recipe. Do you think you'd be able to make these ahead of time and keep them in the freezer, to pull them out, as you need or want them?
ReplyDeleteMichelle - I would think so! They never last long enough here :)
