When you buy Egg Rolls from Chinese Food Restaurants, they are deep fried. Lets face it, most things from Chinese Food Places is deep fried – totally not the way you should be eating to start the [Chinese] New Year and also not the way that “real” Chinese Food is cooked! Many recipes that you find for homemade egg rolls are deep fried as well. I hate deep frying things. I don’t own (or want) a Fry-Daddy or any of those convenient deep friers; I just avoid deep frying. When I really want to indulge, I just go out.

Happy Chinese New Year… may the Year of the Snake bring your much joy & happiness and may you enjoy these Baked Egg Rolls often and any time.
