Jaden, the wildly popular blogger and driving force behind Steamy Kitchen, just released her first cookbook. There are some lovely recipes, including her mother's famous egg rolls. This is my take on her recipe. I followed her instructions pretty much step-by-step, but I made a vegan filling as hers has pork. I also used the thicker wrappers since that's all I could find at the grocery store when I was doing late-night shopping.For the filling I used a bag of coleslaw mix, 8 ounces of mushrooms, a bag of frozen edamame, and a small bag of bean sprouts. The filling was so delicious, and even with the thick wrappers, the egg rolls were awesome--much better than I get from our local Chinese restaurant.
