You can make these to celebrate Chinese New Year (February 10, 2013 – the Year of the Snake) or just any time you are in the mood for some high quality Chinese Food at home!
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. So at home, I always find different ways to cook typically fried foods. The crunch that you crave from any egg rolls is present in these baked ones.
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.
