I've made these egg rolls at least one time in the past, if I can believe the notes I made in the cookbook. It was at best a dim memory. So this recent attempt felt like the first time ... all over again.
The internet abounds with recipes and I will provide mine if you request it, but for now, I'll simply entertain you with photos of my egg roll experience.
Preparing the filling of cabbage, onions, carrots and water chestnuts, with a tablespoon (or so) of soy sauce and about a teaspoon of sugar:
Whisking the extremely thin batter -- in one direction only! -- while the pan in heating:
The pan is lightly oiled before I pour in the batter. Pam worked better than liquid oil, as it gave a more even coating. The pancakes are thin and cook relatively quickly. The trickiest part is turning them to cook the other side.
They are stacked under a moistened towel to keep them soft. I think the recipe made 8 or 9.
I wasn't able to get a photo of the actual filling and rolling and forgot to get a photo while they were frying. So here is a picture of the finished product:
I served them with a selection of 4 dipping sauces. We ate every single one. And then we had dinner. :)
