This was our first make and take party so we didn't get too fancy. I just texted a few friends with the idea and waited to see who was interested. After the RSVP's rolled in, I assigned each guest a key ingredient. We combined their ingredients and worked together to create over 80 eggrolls that were divided among guests to take home for their freezer.
 |
| We mixed broccoli slaw with regular coleslaw mix |
 |
| Egg roll wrappers are typically found in the produce section of your grocer. Our Kroger has them placed in the refrigerated case with bagged salads and slaw mixes. |
 |
| Brown the ground pork or chicken. We combined both for this session just because I had ground chicken on hand and needed some extra meat. My girls plan to use shrimp for their next batch. After the meat is browned, stir in the Oyster Sauce and then add the slaw mix. Stir the ingredients together over medium low heat until the slaw is wilted. Sorry...I forgot to take a picture of what that looks like. |
 |
| Oyster sauce is essential to adding flavor to your egg rolls. Think of this as the "salt" in your egg rolls. |
 |
| Rolling lessons. Follow the directions on the egg roll package to roll. We have small foam brushes we use to dampen the edges with water to seal. |
 |
| Ready to cook |
 |
| Gen has been begging for a deep fryer. I gave in for our make 'n take party. We bought the cheapest one at Walmart...it really did make the frying easier. |
 |
| Drain egg rolls as they come out of the fryer. Ooops! Discovered too late that we were out of paper towels. |

| Stacks of homemade egg rolls, ready to package for the freezer |
