Handmade Vegetarian eggrolls at the request of *someone* lol

These things are massive because I'm lazy and didn't want to make 27384826385 of them that come in the pack.

So I used two sheets per roll and stuffed them with about a cup of sauteed cabbage/carrot mix each.

I pan fried them in a lightly oil skillet. No deep frying necessary.

Success.

I guesstimate they are around 200-300 cals each.

Of course I tried one and it almost took me out of the game. Lol I had to split it between Iunch and dinner. The person I made it for could only eat one (with a bowl of homemade vegetarian Tonkotsu ramen) so they maybe big for regular gastro-anatomy folks too

I could see these being stuffed with tons of great fillings.

This looks amazing 🤤

They are a pretty amazing substitute to the deepfried nonsense

My favorite takeout meal, carnitas tacos! This is the after - I just eat the filling. These 3 will last me 3-4 meals depending if I add any veggies in. I like to make a lime slaw to go with it:

Thinly sliced Napa cabbage & cilantro with dressing of: zest & juice of 3 limes, pinch salt, 2T olive oil, tiny squirt liquid splenda. I like to dress it about an hour before I eat it so it can slightly soften the cabbage. Great for meal prep because cabbage is so sturdy

I've read through this whole thread - it's great! I was just wondering though, did you ever make the Everything Bagels @GreenTealael ?

I can't wait to see the results! I also love your food choices. I'm vegetarian (have been since birth and I'm 49 now) - and they are really inspiring. Oh, I meant to ask... where do you buy hazelnut oil? I might have to try out the Braggs Amino acids - I haven't ever used it, I always use Marmite to make my dishes 'meaty'. I LOVE Marmite with a little butter on a Ryvita with cucumber on top. Yum.

Oh wow, they look good! Can't wait till I can eat solids again.

Do any of you know any Protein powder that isn't whey based that you can cook with?

Also, have any of you cooked cloud bread before? I tried it once - wasn't bad!

Edit: Here's a recipe https://www.aspicyperspective.com/best-cloud-bread-recipe/
