Healthier Delicious Eggrolls

Healthier delicious eggrolls, baked in your oven. Ready from start to finish in less than 40 minutes.

You need these in your life.  They are delicious. And you don't have to feel guilty eating them.

Ingredients:

1 bag coleslaw (about 4 cups)

1 cup shredded carrots

3-4 green onions, diced

fresh garlic (2 large cloves) 

garlic powder, a dash for shrimp

1/2 tsp ground ginger, plus a dash for shrimp

ground pepper

2 Tbsp soy sauce plus a splash for shrimp

cooked shrimp (I used frozen previously cooked shrimp and defrosted in water)

a little salty so leave out the salt until the end and then add to taste

eggroll wrappers (found in the produce section)

Directions:

Put the coleslaw in a microwave safe bowl with 2 Tbsp of water and microwave for two minutes. Add shredded carrots, green onions, minced garlic, ground ginger, pepper and soy sauce and toss together.  

Dice up the cooked shrimp in another bowl and add more ground pepper, a dash of ground ginger, garlic powder and soy to add flavor. I added a little salt as well but you may want to add this at the end to taste since the soy also adds salt.

Add shrimp to mixture

How to Prepare and Roll and Eggroll:

Prepare a cookie sheet with cooking spray.  Take an eggroll wrapper and place on a clean, dry surface facing you like a diamond.  

Put a few spoonfuls of filling in the approximate middle (slightly lower than the center).  Use a dab of water on your finger like glue to seal the eggroll wrapper at each step as you go.  Roll the bottom up and tuck under the filling.  

Fold in the two sides, using water to seal edges

 and then finish rolling and seal the seam.  

Carefully move to the cookie sheet, where you will place the eggroll seam side down.  Continue with additional wrappers until you run out of filling.  Spray the tops of the eggrolls with cooking spray.

Cook at 375 degrees for 25 minutes.

Dipping Sauce:

This is the dipping sauce I made to go with them.  Rather than eat them as a roll we put them in a bowl, cup them up with a knife and fork, and poured some sauce on top.   This sauce complimented them well. I didn't add any salt as indicated in the original recipe as there was enough salt in the eggrolls to not need any more in the sauce.

These were a hit with everyone in my house. We will definitely be making them again.  Someone is even taking one to lunch tomorrow and will eat it cold!  That's dipping sauce in the mini bottle, cooked carrots, a babybel cheese and a piece of healthier lemon cake (recipe to come).
