Last week, my daughter asked me if I would make Chicken vegetable egg rolls for dinner.
I’d made vegan eggless eggrolls towards the end of October, but have not made any since that time. Since I knew I didn’t have any chicken breasts, I stopped by the grocery store (on my way home from work) and purchased a few pounds.
Once I arrived home, I cooked the chicken breasts in my 8 qt. Presto pressure cooker. While the breasts were cooking I started grinding my herbs, spices, garlic and ginger into my mortar and pestle. Into my wok, I added a variety of vegetables and sauteed them for about two minutes. By that time the chicken breasts were finished and so I added a small amount of the breasts to the wok.
Once everything was cooked, I set aside in stainless steel bowl. I then prepared the filling for vegan egg rolls, once that was cooked, I set aside and started adding the chicken filling to the non-veggie egg rolls. I first pan fried the vegan vegetable ‘eggrolls’ into the skillet, followed by the chicken and vegetable egg rolls.
My daughter loved both varieties! Of course the next day, a few ended up in her Zojirushi lunch jar.
The finish product looks the way I like them, too, a bit crispy!

@Jennifer, My daughter loves them crispy also. I don’t use a lot of meat in her dishes that I prepare with animal products. She still loves her vegetables, with the occasional animal products. In today’s lunch, I made her a veggie fried rice, string beans and corn.

Yummmm…my girl loves ’em rolls!!! We had some Thai-style ones the other day – with fish paste, prawn and all inside. Very nice!

@suituapui, There’s this Thai place that I’d occasionally frequent when I worked downtown. Although it was several blocks away, I’d walk there perhaps once a month to order this amazing soup and their spring rolls. The ingredients were freshly prepared and the owners and staff were very nice. The were from Thailand. Although I love to cook, I went out of my way to support them by purchasing some of their food.
