This is a family recipe from hubby's side. They've had Chinese for Christmas dinner every year for I don't know how long. Now our family cooks Chinese for Christmas each year. We make 100-200 of these and they are gone within a very few days. Oink!
3 lbs ground pork steak
3 cloves garlic
1/2 head cabbage, chopped
3 carrots, shredded
1 can bean sprouts, well drained
1 can water chestnuts, cut up
1 can bamboo shoots
2 bunches green onions
2 boiled eggs, chopped
2 tablespoons cornstarch mixed with
8 tablespoons soy sauce
Put small amount in egg roll skins and wrap. Glue egg roll skins with egg yolk. Fry in oil until golden.
**Note: The above is the original family recipe. We have tweaked it to fit us better over the years. We usually at least triple the amount of cabbage and some other veggies (whatever is cheapest at the time). We also just scramble the eggs. Then we stick everything in a food processor and just grind the snot out of it all. Then add in the soy and conrstarch. Oh, we also use regular onions instead of green onions.
Sweet & Sour Dipping Sauce (You MUST, MUST, MUST make this to accompany the egg rolls!)
2 Cups water
4 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1/4 cup vinegar
Stir slowly over low heat until thick. Then stir in:
3 tablespoons orange marmalade
3 tablespoons catsup
Sauce is yummy warm but is even better chilled.
